obligation since 1947, we have received and analysed between one and two
thousand reports that have come to us from all kinds of sources. Of this great
mass of reports we have been able, adequately, to explain the great bulk of
them, explain them to our own satisfaction. However, there have been a certain
percentage of this volume of reports that have been made by credible observers,
of relatively incredible things. It is this group of observations that we are
now attempting to resolve. We have, as of date, only one firm conclusion with
respect to this remaining percentage, that is that it does not contain any
pattern of purpose or consistency and does not relate to any conceivable threat
to the United States.’
