It waa the oe MW that this undescribed missile was perhapa the same types Sie i of thing as the flying saucer’, Another factor of notice, according to : P and as is pertrayed by the photographs, it would appear that the mipeh lea oan be miintained at a certain altitude above the contour of the ground. could be done hy moana of gane type of radio altimeter or radio control. mete b 1 : ' welly, the path of the missile is not In exact parallel to the contour, aa ite = F purported creat speed would create considerable in ite flight. Another a factor which ip worthy of note, according EL 2 that 2% tae 7 = normally reparted ag being #een at tremendously hich altitudes and always travel- @ ing in a straight limes. He stated that he himself chwerved,on one occasion, & f° single vapor trail coming fron ecme type of aircraft at unbelievably high altitudes, a which vapor trei{l extended from horizon to horizon in a perfectly straight Line. Ee observed the vapor trail while it was in the process of formation and states that 1% waa carpletely unlike any waper trail he had ever cbhaerved before in ali of hie experience with the air force. It was hia judgment that whatever created the wapor trail was traveling 4t an unbelievably tranendous apesd, This, together with reports that when close to the ground, the missile travela at speeds which make poesible rignal observation of ite actions, would reflect that there is some ability te eomtrel the epeed of these misaiies ag well as the altituis, | concluded that this matter, while still purely « mtter of gucsework, i@ nevertheless @ source of great concern to the military setablish- ment of this comtry. Great efforte have been axpended by the service to determines juat what the nature of these misgiles might be and, upon so determining, decide whether or not an adequate defense can be established. He aleo stated that it b bas given impetus tg the research being done by the alr foros in their own pro- Je gram of neclear energy for the propulaion of aircraft to develop guided misailes.» He also advised that ingofar as was known to him, there waa absolutely no cone nection betwaen these missiles and the fact that they were observed cloge to Oak Ridge, Tennesges. He stated that thins wae perhaps, and probably, a matter of coincidence and they were Baen in thie area terely aa they were aceon in forty- wix of the forty-eight states of the United States diving the Month of July when #0 Heny reports wore being received, mo - Thie informtion ja being submitted to the Bureau for whatever value it may be, and no further action in the miter ia being contemplated by thie office, unless sdvigsed to the contrary.
