Quote from the document (not written in U.S.
Department of Defense document format):
“1. In
a liaison meeting with other military and government intelligence and
investigative agencies in December 1948, it was determined that the frequency
of unexplained aerial phenomena in the New Mexico area was such that an organized
plan of reporting these observations should be undertaken. The organization and
physical location of units of this District were most suitable for collecting
these data, therefore, since December 1948, this District has assumed the
responsibility for collecting and reporting basic information with respect to
aerial phenomena occurring in this general area. These reports have been
distributed to the Air Materiel Command, USAF, in accordance with Air
Intelligence Requirements No. 4, and to other interested military and
government agencies.
4. On 17 February 1949 and again on 14 October 1949,
conferences were held at Los Ala mosNew Mexico
6. This summary of observations of aerial phenomena
has been prepared for the purpose of re-emphasizing and reiterating the fact
that phenomena have continuously occurred in the New Mexico skies during the
past 18 months and are continuing to occur, and secondly, that these phenomena
are occurring in the vicinity of sensitive military and government
installations.”
The letter was sent from Lieutenant Colonel Doyle
Rees, USAF, District Commander, to Brigadier General Joseph F. Carroll,
Director Of Special Investigations, Headquarters USAF, Washington , D.C.
