Washington, D.C.: CIA's special UFO study group meets for the first time

On August 14, 1952, the CIA's special UFO study group met for the first time. It was given a summary, probably written by A. Ray Gordon, project officer of the CIA's Physics and Electronics Branch. The summary covered UFO history, an analysis of Project Blue Book, explained sightings and theories about unexplained sightings. The source is the CIA document 'Flying Saucers' of the same date. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
