(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics 
(AIAA), Reston, Virginia)

(NARCAP, Temecula, California)

In December 1968, the AIAA UFO Subcommittee was of the opinion that the UFO phenomenon is a valid subject for scientific investigation:

http://www.narcap.org/Associated_Research_docs/aiaastatement.html

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

Boulder, Colorado

Jerald M. Bidwell

Martin Marietta

Denver, Colorado

Glenn A. Cato

TRW Systems Group

Redondo Beach, Calif.

Bernard N. Charles

Murray Dryer

Howard D. Edwards

Andrew J. Masley

Douglas Missile & Space Systems Division

Santa Monica, Calif.

Robert Rados

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Greenbelt, Maryland

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.”
