Quote from the article:
“The nationwide Air Force debunking campaign, launched
in December to avoid Congressional hearings on UFOs, now has backfired severely
on AF Headquarters and its official UFO spokesman, Lt. Col. Lawrence J. Tacker.
Col. Tacker’s chief aim, as he unguardedly admitted in
a national broadcast on Dec. 5, is to discredit NICAP and its director. This
officially-approved attack proves that NICAP is recognized as the biggest
threat to UFO secrecy, because of the documented evidence confidentially given
to Congress.”

“Deputies Spot Flying Saucer Over County”
4 January 1952
(Register-Pajaronian, Watsonville , California
Source: theufochronicles.com, 19 February 2016
Quote from the article:
“Flying saucers are with us again.
First report of the saucer came at 5:10 a.m. when
deputy sheriff’s in two cars sighted it over the city of Monterey
Deputies Al Bolman and Jim Mattney were patrolling in
one car and reported it first. A few minutes later Lieut. Thomas Martin and
deputy Ed Atkinson, also in the area spotted it.
‘At first we thought it was an airplane on fire,’ the
deputies reported. ‘But it was throwing sparks and flame from both ends,
cruising along apparently under control at about 1,000 feet .’ They
estimated its speed at more than 700 miles per hour.
The craft swung in a wide arc over Monterey Bay
and then headed for Fort
Ord.
Military police were alerted at the fort, but
personnel were unable to pick the saucer up on radar, they reported.
After leaving the Fort Ord Greenfield
It was last seen shortly thereafter dropping below
Johnson’s canyon east of Gonzales.
At the naval air station at Monterey
Comdr. McGinnis said that ‘considering the large
number of military airfields in the area it is very possible that a large jet
plane was in the area.’
The defense command would not say whether any
unscheduled aircraft were authorized to fly over the Monterey-Fort Ord area at
that hour.”

“The 1952 Sighting Wave: Radar-Visual Sightings
Establish UFOs As A Serious Mystery”
Created: 15 December 2005
Updated: 4 February 2017
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the web page:
“Fran Ridge:
This is a very comprehensive and qualitative effort.
Without the help of Rebecca Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson, Brad
Sparks, Jean Waskiewicz, Bill Schroeder and others, this could not have been
done. (Items on the Chop clearance list are coded ‘CCL’). But none of this
would be complete without the story behind the wave of 1952, as told by none
other than Richard Hall.
On March 2, 1950, a Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) meeting
focused on establishing goals for a minimum air defense by 1952. The following
month at a USAF Commanders Conference at Ramey AFB, Puerto
Rico , planners familiarized
commanders with the thinking behind the plan of minimum defense as well as with
its contents. Referred to as the Blue Book Plan, it stipulated that a minimum
air defense could be in place by mid-1952. It was estimated that July 1, 1952,
as the critical date when the Soviets would pose a dangerous threat. General
Charles Cabell expected the Soviets to have between 45 and 90 atom bombs and 70
to 135 Tu-4 bombers (copied B-29s) by that time. Was there a nuclear connection
between this threat and the massive UFO sighting wave of 1952 and the events
over Washington
Richard Hall:
The summer 1952 UFO sighting wave was one of the
largest of all time, and arguably the most significant of all time in terms of
the credible reports and hardcore scientific data obtained. Electromagnetic
(EM) effects and physical trace evidence were
more prominent in other waves, but 1952 (and 1953) featured recurring
radar detection of UFOs, often from both ground and airborne radar, visual
sightings by jet interceptor pilots sent up to pursue the mysterious objects,
and cat-and-mouse chases in which the UFOs seemed to toy with the interceptors.
Further, Air Force investigators who plotted the sightings noticed that they
were concentrated around strategic military bases, and this clearly posed a
threat to national security since their origin was unknown. Senior generals in
the Air Force concluded that UFOs were
interplanetary in origin, and broadly hinted this belief in LIFE magazine for
April 1952.”

Wikipedia article: “National Reconnaissance Office”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a member
of the United States Intelligence Community and an agency of the United States
Department of Defense. NRO is considered, along with the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence Agency
(DIA), and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), to be one of the ‘big
five’ U.S. intelligence agencies.[2] The NRO is headquartered in unincorporated
Fairfax County, Virginia,[3] 2
miles (3.2
km ) south of Washington Dulles International Airport.
It designs, builds, and operates the reconnaissance
satellites of the United
States
The Director of the NRO reports to both the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense[5] and serves as Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Intelligence Space Technology). The NRO’s federal workforce consists primarily of Air Force, CIA, NGA, NSA, and Navy personnel.[6] A 1996 bipartisan commission report described the NRO as having by far the largest budget of any intelligence agency, and ‘virtually no federal workforce,’ accomplishing most of its work through ‘tens of thousands’ of defense contractor personnel.[7]”
