Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum, written by David B. Stevenson of OSI, records a 19 July 1966 visit from Sara B. Hunt of the Air Force Office of Information. She came to discuss an Air Force request to declassify the February 1953 Report of the Scientific Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects. It notes that H. P. Robertson's television appearance caused a press reaction and that a sanitized version had been approved in 1957. It also states that further declassification would require significant deletions.
