3. I would like to preface this plan with a brief reference to ATIC intelligence
procedures. The mission of our Center is to prevent technological surprise by air.
Our interest in UA0's is based on the fact that they can be of foreign origin. We
must then determine identifying their charecteristics and performance.
. When ve encounter identifiable aerial objects, for example, now types of
foreign aircraft missiles, we attempt to obtain their configuration, per
characteristics by measuring and recording devices, if possible, especially y if ve

4.It is of significance to note that an inquiry of technical amployees of U.S.
aircraft plants revealed that they could not give complete and reliable descriptions
of the technical aspeots of their owm plants vith complete accu suracy. Likewise, the
Air Force long ago eliminated its observers rating for crew members, supplanting
these visual and audio observation duties with photographie and electronic recording
devices. Any plan to determine if any UAO's ar require full
use of measuring and recording instruments.
5. Because it is almost i possible to obtain technical intelligence from
voluntary verbal reports of non-technical observers, ATIC proposes that the receipt and -
analysis of such reports by the USAF be discontinued in the future. Our evaluation

a. Nethods c Knowms fron Visual Reports
Past experience hss indicated that a large percent-
arg due to misinterpretation of known objects, the
majority of which are balloons, aircraft, and mcteors. Severel rethods
are presently being used to segregate these reports when time pennits.
(1) Ballcons
Of these, the regularly released weather observation
balloons are most gencrally reported as unidentifiod aerial objects.
This type includes the piball, rawinsonde, rawin, and radiosonde types.
The piball balloons which are about 2h inches in diameter when launched
rise to medium altitudes before burst. The rawinsonde, rawin, and radio-
sonde balloona are from 8 to 9 feet in diameter at launch then rise to
altitudes of 90, Ooo to lo0, Ooo feet at which time they expand 0 15 to
20 feet in diameter. Atmospheric conditions and the relationship of the
balloon to the sun deternine how far they can be seen. Under ideal cOn
ditions these balloons have been soan at lo0,Ooo feet. The larger balloons

given in AFL 200-5.
In some instances kncwn organizations launching re
search balloons are also queried, bu TIC does not have a complete file
on what organiz type of belloon.
A small percentage of the balloonslaunched are lost
and not tracked. trecking statlon may break down during a run and
not record a complete flight or a balloon may develop a slow leak and
float for a long ri ad f time covering a long distance and moving out
in a small percentage of the total inciden waver,. due to limited
manpower available.
A system should bo developed whereby infor needed
could deternine whether or not an object is a balloon.
(2) Aircraft
The determination as to whether or not a reported
object is an airoraft is difficult. Attempts have been made to check
back with USAF Flight Sorvice or Caa in an attempt f to examine flight
plans. This has been unguccessful due to the fact that the flight plans
are not filled in a way y that makes it practical go back into old reo-
ords.

S. By requiring the use of instruments for the collaboration of such sightings, the
USAF will eliminate many needless scrambles of its interceptor aircraft (E.G., the -

Air Defense Command and ATIC have worked in close coordina-

and their contact with the Anti-Aireraft Conmand have provided assis-

Te FACTUAL DATA

An estimated 15 percent of the reports received by ATIC are
evaluated as possibly or probably being balloons, it is highly
probable that if more positive information could be obtained on
balioon launches in the United States this percentage would im
crease and more positive identification could be made,

IIe RECOMMENDED !ROCEDURIS

It is recomended that the attached proposal be forwarded
throuzh channols to Air Weather Service and that, if the pro=
posal is concurred upon by ANS, action be taken to initiate a
transfer of funds.

3. When a report 16 at ArIc it would be
preliminary screening. If there was any probability that the object
reported might have been a balloon, it would be forwarded to Air
Weather Service by phone, wire or mail, depending upon the urgency of
obtaining an evaluation. Air Weather Service would then deternine
whether or not lloon of any

is Chairmaned by Dr. Joseph Kaplan, who like many of the members also serves
on the Air Forces Scientific Advisory Board. It is not intended to keep any
committee member constantly occupied with this work nor to have the full committee member constantly occupied with this 3 work nor have the full
comittee meet together at less than two or three month intervals, except on

It is planned that reports of UA0's will be referred individually

recommended that this be disseminated to all military establishments con-
