This August 1949 technical report from the US Air Force Air Materiel Command presents Project Grudge's investigation of unidentified flying objects through January 1949. Drawing on consultants including Dr. J. A. Hynek, Rand Corporation, the Air Weather Service and Dr. P. M. Fitts, it explains most of 244 incidents as balloons, aircraft, astronomical phenomena, hoaxes or psychological errors. It concludes the objects pose no direct threat to national security and recommends reducing the investigation in scope.
of a degree or so will never before achieved until suffice to explain such devices. It is trivial whether a potential energy would arise our curiosity in so idle a fashion. CLKR 7(0A2 X11, X12, T2R, ST, 0:500, 0:500, 1) Authors, it is noteworthy that the British physician Levoll writing in "Physica Delay" mentions the radar discovery of a new daytime meteorite streak which rounded its orbit during June 1917. The recorded objects long little of their interest however if they are of meteoritic origin. 2) animals. although the objects an describes are more like animals than anything else, there are for reliable reports on extra terrestrial animals. 3) Space Skys. The following considerations pertain: a) If there is an extra terrestrial civilisation which must make such ob- jects as are reported that it is most probably that its development is far in advance of ours. This argument can be supported or probability arguments alone without resources to astronomical hypotheses. b) Such a civilization might observe that on earth we nor have atomic bombs are now first developing robots. In view of the past history of mankind they should be alaroad. We should therefore expect at this time above all to be held such visitations. Given the acts of combined most easily observed from a distance are A-bomb explosions we should expect some relation to obtain between the time of A-bomb explosions, the time at which the space ships are none, are the time required for such ships to arrive from and return to home- base. PART 111. RECOMMENDATIONS. 1) The file should be cortized. 2) A meteorologist should compute the approximate energy required to
