Quote from the article, “DEPUTY CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS DENIES UFO ‘SHOOT TO KILL’ ORDER”:
“In an official statement to NICAP, Vice Admiral Thomas S. Combs, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, has denied published reports of a Navy ‘shoot to kill’ order applying to Unidentified Flying Objects. The press account, originally published in the Fullerton, California, NEWS TRIBUNE, has recently been revived because of an official admission by the Air Technical Intelligence Center that Air Force pilots have fired on UFOs. (Air Force comments on this ATIC statement are discussed elsewhere in this issue of ‘UFO INVESTIGATOR.’)”
