JOURNAL
Flying Saucer Problem
Reviewed In New Film
The subject of flying saucers is reviewed in an alleged docu-
mentary movie, Unidentified Flying Objects," that is just as con-
troversial as the mysterious objects it attempts to cover.
The movie opens today at Loew's theater, and it should prove
particularly interesting because a former Daytonian, Al Chop, is
the central character.
Chop worked as a reporter for The Dayton Daily News and for
Acme Aluminum Alloys in public relations before getting a job at
Wright-Patterson Air Force base in the public information office.
Chop worked there as a writer, and later in the Pentagon at
Washington, and the picture contends he devoted much of his time
to writing about and handling news releases on flying objects.
The man who plays Chop, Tom
Towers, a Los Angeles newspaper- story attracted so much attention
man, serves as narrator and star when it was shown on TV the first

have the blessing or the support

1 - Through the eyes of Chop the
movie viewers witness interviews
of persons who allegedly s sighted
saucers. Two reported movies
made of distant saucers are shown
for the first time.
Particularly suspensful are the
scenes taken in the Fort Knox
flight tower, where observers are
following a group of unidentified
objects being chased by pilots, one
of whom is killed, and at a Wash-
ington airport where a number
of objects are caught on the radar
screen as they fly over the city.
In an effort to substantiate the
story, the picture makes no effort
to show closeups of flying saucers
and admits a great majority of
the reports of saucers have been
explained, that only a few objects
remain unidentified.
The picture does provide some
interesting moments, and provoke
some thoughts as well as some
skepticism, particularly in this
writer when Chop, before taking
the job at the base, talks with his
former managing editor and is
told:

described the objects as resembling two columns. The other roles were played by actors.

Force still refused to let the press
public see the official copies.
Though Producer Green offered the Air
Force full cooperation, the official analysis
reports of the two films were not released
to him. Some Air Force officers privately
favored giving Green-and the public-
all available evidence they were
overruled.
After the documentary film was released
the Air Force denied it had cleared, spon-
sored, or in any way coordinated any
motion pictures on UFO's. The recent Air
Defense Command action, cited at the
start of this story, should end all con-
jecture that this was an official step
toward "educating the public."
Despite this, the picture has performed
a great service. Many former skeptics
have reported their conviction as to the
reality of UFO's after seeing this film.
NICAP urges members who have not seen
it to secure repeat runs at local theaters.
In several cases, UFO clubs or groups have
arranged for special showings at low rates,
usually yat hours when theaters normally
have small audiences.
We believe this factual revelation of
UFO evidence will be well worth any
special efforts required, for despite the
lack of an Air Force blessing, this is
an important step toward ending official
secrecy.

a full-length documentary movie on saucers some time in May. The documentary

is the release of the Tremonton and Montana films, long

specks represent migratory birds. It is doubtful that any
conclusive determination will ever be made since there

Flying Saucer Problem
Reviewed In New Film
The subject of flying saucers is reviewed in an alleged docu-
mentary movie, Unidentified Flying Objects," that is just as con-
troversial as the mysterious objects it attempts to cover. The movie opens today at Loew's theater, and it should prove
particularly interesting because a former Daytonian, Al Chop, is
the central character. Chop worked as a reporter for The Dayton Daily News and for
Acme Aluminum Alloys in public relations before getting a job at
Wright-Patterson Air Force base in the public information office. Chop worked there as a writer, and later in the Pentagon at
Washington, and the picture contends he devoted much of his time
to writing about and handling news releases on flying objects.
The man who plays Chop, Tom story attracted so much attention

SUBJECT: Report ow of Motion Picture "Unidentified Flying Objects
1. Through the personal assistance of Col. Cross, Chief, Office of
Information Services, AMC, an advance copy of the film "Unidentified
Flying Objects" was previewed by pertinent members of ATIC on Friday,
18 May 1956, in Bldg 167, Area .W tterson ce Base.
2. The following represent the general corments and opinions with
regard to the filmpreviewed:
a. The film, purporting, to be factual and documentary, appears
to over dramatize each case s sighting, and, by padding, makes a brief
documentary into a full-length feature.
b. The film strives, through its showing, to maintain the
being, alien to

f. Washington Radar Sighting:
(1) In the Department of Defense "Minutes of Press Conference Held by
Major General John A. Samford", 29 July 1952, copy in file at
both ATIC C and PIo, it was explained to the press that these
sightings (pages through 17) may have been the result
of a combination of factors: temperature inversions, moisture

UFO case in the U.S., and the one which, undoubtedly,

10.147 technical analysis made of this case Hynek on the
basis of Mr. Arnold's own statements: Arnold made drawings
of objects showing definite shape, and stated that objects
seemed about 20 times as long as wide, estimating them as
45-50 feet long. He also estimated the distance as 20-25
miles and clocked them as going 47 miles in l02 seconds
(l7oo MH). These statements are mutually contradictory:

of 20 January 1951. "Chiles-Whitted" and "Vinther-
Bachmeier" cases resemble each other. Both airline pilot
crews observed "a long, slender cigar shaped object." In
the Sioux City sighting, the object was described as "one-

could have been a B-36, slightly off course, orbiting over
the airport, making a visual check in the vicinity for train-
ing purposes, or other similar reasons. I It was determined
by ATIC that at that time (l95l) SAC did not maintain records
of their training flights within the ZI.

of airplane reflective phenomena Also, strong corroborative
evidence is given by simulated photographs of aircraft at var-

that the sea gulls appeared similar to the objects in the
film. This film was shown by Capt. Ruppelt at a private show-
ing in Washington Which was also attended by Dr. Hynek.
Further, a critical analysis made a few days ago of this film
strip by ATIC photo specialists, without their knowledge of
the original evaluation, resulted in the same opinion i.e.
that these were sea gulls. It should also be pointed out that
in our copy of the original film, sea gulls appeared in a
number of frames. This, however, isnot shown in the Hollywood
version of the film. Therefore, there is in this case also
no compelling reason to change ur original opinions.

1. The following statements concerning two of the UFO
8 sightings described in the recently released movie, are sub-
mitted in response to Mr. Monts' reque May 1956.
a. The Marianna Case - Montana - 1950. The original
Air Force conclusion, based on the interrogation of witnesses
and the evaluation of the data, was that the UFOs were, in all
probability. two Air Force F-94 fighter aircraft known to be
by the recent

shortly after the sighting. The conclusion reached was that a
strong possibility existed that the bright spots of light appearing strong possibility existed that the bright spots
on the film were caused by seagulls soaring in thermal air cur-
rents. The credibility of the conclusion was undoubtedly sup-
ported by the presence of identifiable seagulls in some of the
frames.
This conclusion was further strengthened by movies of
seagulls, taken at various distances, which showed them as seagulls, taken at various distances, , which showed them as
bright spots of light similar to those in the Newhouse film.

2. This film may stir up storm of public controversy similar to
AFOIN-4Xt which USAF was subjected to in l952 with regard to UFOS, as result
of the unwarranted sensationalism generated by so-called "UFO experts",

Kenneth Arnold Case: *Arnold made drawings of objects showing definite
shape, and stated that objects seemed about 2o times as long as wide,
estiuating them as 45-50 feet long.
He also estimated the distance as 20-25 miles and clocked
them as going 47 miles in 102 seconds. (1700 mph).
These statements are mutually contradictory:
If the distance were correct, then in order for detéils to be
seen, objects must have been of the order of f l00 X 2000 feet in size.
If, we adopt a reasonable s size - Arnold's own estimate, in
fact, of 50 feet long, hence about 3 feet wide, the objects must have been
closer than a mile, obviously contrary to his statement.
If we adopt a reasonable limiting size to the objects of
20 x 400 feet, objects must have been closer then six miles to have

called "flying saucers"' in action.
The footage is contained l in an

of unexplained aerial phonomena
reported from many parts of the
country since 1947.
Actual color footage of bright
disk-like objects moving at high
speed over Utah and Montana
is contained in the documentary-
type feature, "Unidentified Fly-

Clarence Greene, the co-pro-
ducer, said that assistance in
compiling the picture, in prep-
aration for more than two years,
was given by former Air Force
officers and civilians assigned to
the i investigation of U. F. O.-
unidentified flying objects.
The actual brief motion pic-
ture clips of the objects were
photographed in Utah, July 2,
1952, by Warrant Officer Delbert
C. Newhouse, Navy Chief Pho-
tographer, and in Montana,
Aug. 15 by Nicholas
Mariana.
The footage clas-
sified by the Air Force and sub-

Mr. Greene stated. He said he
obtained rights to the footage
used in the movie from New-
house and Mariana. They also
tell of their experience on the
