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 insident 244 near Milwaukee, Wisconsin - 28 June 1947 information given here is insufficient to indicate that was soon. If this were a totally independent observation and not one that was presumably inolted by current radio reports of flying saucers, more weight could be given to it. As it is, with flying saucer talk respant, almost anything from meteors to balloons or aircraft would be reported as saucers by an uncritical observer. It is unlikely, however, that there was anything astronomical about this insolent.
