Subject: CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90

The Center for the Study of Intelligence, which "supports research and
publishing on the intelligence profession and its various disciplines
and declassifies historical records related to US intelligence
operations during the Cold War", publishes "Studies in Intelligence",
a compilation of related articles.

Issue 1997 Vol. 1, No. 1, contains a study written by Gerald K.
Haines, the National Reconnaissance Office historian, which sets out
to explain his view of the relationship between the CIA and the public
on the subject of UFOs, between 1947-1990.

Now declassified, the document, entitled:

A Die-Hard Issue
CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90

is on-line at the Center's web site and can be found at URL:

Haines covers the reaction to Kenneth Arnold's sighting, the
establishment of projects "Sign", "Grudge" and "Blue Book", The
Robertson Panel, the U-2 as a prevalent "UFO", Keyhoe and NICAP's
influence, The Condon Committee and the MJ-12 documents.

Something for everyone and an insightful perception overall.



James.
