. . -2- Colorado study. The panel concurred in the University of Colorado's rec o mmendation that "no high priority in UFO investigations is warranted by data of the past two decades." It concluded by stating that, "On the basis of present knowledge, the least likely explanation of UFO s is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitations bi intelligent... beings." Past UFO studies include one conducted by a Scientific Advisory Panel of UFOs in January, 1953 (Robertson Panel); and, a review of Project Blue Book by the Air Force Scientific Advisory !card Ad Hoc Committee, February-March, 1966 (Dr. Brian O'Brien, Chairman). The1e studies concluded that no evidence has been found that any of the UFO reports reflect a threat to our national security. As a result of investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no UFO reported, investi- gated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication ( of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence submitted or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized r· " u n i d en t if i e d " r e p r e s.en t t e c h n o l o g i e a 1 de v e 1 op men t s or p r inc i p 1 e s \..._.
