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.
## UNCLASSIFIED Incident 220 -- Nortland, Oregon -- 14 June 1947 There is nothing, whatever in this incident to suggest that the object observed were of astronomical origin. Their anomalies and the relatively long time they were in sight definitely produce any possible astronomical interpretation. It is of interest to note thus in this locality and at this season other possibly Indian non-astrological insidents were reported -- 217 and 261.
