In December 1968, the AIAA UFO
Subcommittee was of the opinion that the UFO phenomenon
is a valid subject for scientific investigation:
Quote from the document:
“Under these circumstances the
AIAA, about a year ago, asked two of its Technical Committees – namely, the
Committee on Atmospheric Environment and the Committee on Space and Atmospheric
Physics, to consider the formation of a focal point for this problem area,
which, by its very nature, lies in the sphere of interest of the AIAA
community. Accordingly, these two TCs established a Subcommittee on the UFO
Problem with the following membership:
Joachim P. Kuettner (Chairman)
ESSA Research Laboratories
Jerald M. Bidwell
Martin Marietta
Glenn A. Cato
TRW Systems Group
Bernard N. Charles
Aerospace Corporation
ESSA Research Laboratories
Howard D. Edwards
Georgia Institute of Technology
Paul MacCready
Meteorology Research, Inc.
Andrew J. Masley
Douglas Missile & Space
Systems Division
Robert Rados
Donald M. Swingle
This group has made its own
objective investigation of the subject and has now issued the statement above,
which speaks for itself. The Committee plans to develop certain recommendations
and to give some insight into its reasoning to the AIAA readership in future issues
of A/A.
