Michael D. Swords informs about the first
inquiries (in 1947) the U.S.
Air Force made into UFOs.
Quote from the article:
“In late June of 1947, the flying disks had begun to appear all over the
United States.
This was the Air Force’s area of concern, and, after convincing themselves that
this was not citizen craziness, they got on the job. The document on the upper
right is an example of how quickly this happened and at what level of
authority. It’s a note from General Nathan Twining [Commander of
Wright-Patterson AFB, and the AF’s high technology research group] to Brigadier
General Samuel Brentnall who was chief of the Engineering Technology division
there. Twining and Brentnall have been discussing Flying Disk reports [there is
a newspaper story on them clipped to this note] already by the beginning of
July. So, the AF’s technology wizards are quite interested in what this mystery
device is, which has now been reported by many of their own
flyers.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The major information point for flying disk reports was in the Pentagon
at the Air Force’s Intelligence Division. There they had a Collections branch
commanded by Colonel Robert Taylor III. His right-hand man was Lt. Colonel
George Garrett. Garrett got the job of collecting and correlating all the
flying disk information. He had an FBI contact named S.L. Reynolds. The reason
for the contact was that the intelligence community initially suspected that
some of these reports were made by Soviet sympathizers in order to scare the
public. They quickly found out otherwise [Soviet sympathizers weren't flying at
30,000 feet
in metal disks to scare people in New
Mexico], and Garrett and Reynolds settled down to try
to figure out what WAS going on.”
Swords also presents U.S.
government (U.S. Air Force and Federal Bureau of Investigation) documents that
pertain to the UFO investigations.
I first reported about this article on 22 August 2013.
