SUBJECT: Fiphter Interceptor Syuadrons Non-Compliance with
UFO Directives (AcR 200-2)

1. Thisreply to an UFO report submitted cy a Fighter-Intcrcer tor
Unit is being brought to the attention of staff and other intcrested
ATIC offices as another of stmilar instances of nonecouplivace. The
undersigned recommends that it also be broupht to teal uarters, vo.e
attention as an exxmple of non-compliance and/or apjerent disinterest
on the part of certain Air Force units which are in tre best possiile
position to take inmuediate action to solve UrO sizgatings, cut for soue
reason refuse to do 30.

2. Briefly, nere we have a fizghter intcrcepter uuit by waore own
admission sighted an unconventional object in its ares; tne unidertificd
target w2s picked up by its own ajproaci radar, reported that tue ot-
ject was unconventional, and states that there were no known or locally
assigned aircraft in its area, yet took no intercept action. It is
assumed that ATIC is now expected to provide a conclusion or ansver.

3- This matter of non-compliance with current Uio directives has
been reported to and discussed with pertinent liecod jarters, Yar offices
who concur that such violations be brought to their attention. This
action was discussed with and approved by AFCINeXl, Major Tacker, in
telephone conversation, 12 August 1°58.
