The /ollowtng in/ormatton was obtatned by Liaison SupervisorJl. W. Ku.hrt2 at the Intelligence Advisory Committee - Watch Committee'spectal mee~ing on September 21, 1957, relattve to the captioned m.atter. The tnttial report in thts.matter was given by the U.S. Ai.r ~e/ense Command 10 the White Hou~ on September 20, 1957, reflecting ~at an unident~!~ed flying object was picked up by radar station at Montauk Point, Long Island, New York, at approximately 4 p.m., proceeding in a westward dtrection with an altitude Of 50,000 feet and a speed 0/ 2,000 knots (approximately 2300 miles per hour). The radar station at Montau.k Point maintained an image for approximately one m.inute, and thereafter it was picked up by a radar station at Benton, Pennsylvania (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvanta), which coinctded with the Montauk Potnt ptckup and -was tracked by. Een~on for apprOXimately 9 minutes. Therea/ter, jamming was reported by several radar stations westward as far as Chicago.

The Watch Committee at its meeting on September 21 was told bi! the Air De/ense Command that the odginal reports had been down-graded, stnce there was an II-minute break tn the tracktng by the vartous radalf. stattons, and further that weather ::stcitions; in ~e ar.ea weTe 0/ the type wh ich have in the past produced false radar "p(ips" and electronic in/ormation. Also, there were·a number 0/ Strategic. Air Command planes in the Chicago area on a training flight. The JYatch Committee was told that the Air Defense Command has not completed its investigatton 0/ this incident; however, in any event it; was reported that the phenomena reported west 0/ Buf/alo, New York, were not related to the object as reported by Montauk Point aTt'd Eenton, Pennsylvania. ,.

\

The Watch Committee concluded that, "It is highly improba.!!l..G--that a Soviet operation is responsible lor the unidentified /lying--j object reports 0/ September, 1957. /I The Watch Committee in consideltng thts matter also concluded that there i.s no tntelligence on Soviet activities which can be related to a missile lau.nching 0/ thts l~!

over the U.S. It is unli~ely that a Soviet aircra/t could conduct a mission at this speed and altttude and return to Souiet territory. rhe Soviets are given credit lor the capability 01 a 'bubmaTlne 'launched cruise-type missile 01 low supersonic perlormance" and a

range 01 about 500 nautical miles; however, there is no evidence oj phe eristence 01 such a missile by the Soviets. .

The Watch Committee also eramined possible Soviet motives lor launching a one way missile on an operation over the U.S., and it was concluded that there would be little motivation at this time ezcept possibly a psychological or retaliatory motive. ~e ffatch Committee ruled out one way reconnaissance operutions on the li~elihood that the results would be 01 small value and the ris~ oj compromise would be very·great. (This possible retaliatory motive by the Soviets could be in response ...., U.S. #1i9'i*s to a U.S. "Project Aquatone" fligh.t over the USSR which was detected on September 9, 1956, by Soviet planes and mentioned in my memorandum 01 September 19, 1957.)

saw dlsc-ahap~d objects rlyln~ throu~h the air in Tarioua

tormations at high altitudes and at a hish rate ot speed.

The first report was from an aTiator who stated that these

so-called flying discs had a somewhat shiny appearance and

would fly in formation and change their position from time

afternoon or about dusk.

:':ost all reports were to the effect that these objects

had the appearance of an inverted disc or saucer, and some

of them reported that they appeared to be rotatin--; in their

flight.

The mystery of the rlyin~ saucers or discs may be sol-

few simple experiments.

c- () If' the v,ntl: ,ion wins windc;.1 woro a pe 'ect mirror the

objects causing the reflections would a,'pear therein,as well .e

all other objectB within ran~e, but the ventilation ... t1n'~ being

a sort ot a semi-mirrOr, does not refl~ct the objoct but only

the bri$ht ,spot, which leaves the imprecsion that the observer

18 actually looking throu3h the glass and th:lt the object act-

ually avpears to be in the sky, or at times a lon~ di~t3nce

away. These results are best obtained in the late afternoon,

Or after sun do .. m.

Tho! aviators who rejJorted seeine flying discs or saucers,

undoubtedly were scaing the reflection of bri~ht objects in or

on their own plane. They saw the,r. as retlect::d in their canopy

or wind s.~ll3ld, ,but failed to recor,nize the:, as rilflections.

Otherw~se they were reflections from other air craft.

Ad the aviator 'traveled alon~ obser\fin~ the n.ove:::~:lt of'

the disc in comparisoa with the mount~ins, clouds or station-

ary objects on the earth, ma4e them appear to be traveling at

a high rate of speed. The Blopin~ an51e of the aviators

wind-shield and his position in the plane r,.ada it :l :,pear that

the discs were in the sky. The position of t.he discs also
