In 1977, President Carter asked the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) to look into the possibility of resuming
UFO investigations. After studying all the facts available, NASA
decided that nothing would be gained by further investigation. The
Air Force agrees with that decision. If, however, firm evidence is
found justifying further investigation, an appropriate agency will be
directed to undertake the effort.

There are a number of universities and
professional scientific organizations such
as the American Association for the
Advancement of Science·, which have
considered oro phenomena during periodic
meetings and seminars. In addition, a list
of private organizations interested in
aerial phenomena may be found in Gale's
Encyclopedia of Association~. such timely
review of the situation by private groups
insures that sound evidence will not be
overlooked by the scientific community.
For further reference material, two
documents are available from the National
Technical Information Service, u.s.
