Documents / FOIA release
This is a heavily redacted Central Intelligence Agency Domestic Collection Division Foreign Intelligence Information Report from the Directorate of Operations, dated October 4, 1976, on UFO phenomena. The surviving excerpt records a person being asked for a personal opinion of the UFO phenomenon. That person was told that 99 percent of such occurrences trace to natural or man-made causes such as celestial movement, aircraft or artificial satellites, while the remaining one percent cannot be explained and may be hallucination.
6. asked for personal opinion of the IFO phenomenon. He was told that 99 percent or these occurrences were traceable to either natural or man-made phenomena such as celestial movement, aircraft or artificial satellites, and that the other one percent cannot be explained--possibly an hallucination. Then asked, "Do you think it is possible...could there be something coming from outer space?"
