Lewis D. Chase

Lewis D. Chase was a U.S. Air Force officer relevant to the Malmstrom/Condon context as a UFO investigator or operations contact. For the 1967 Malmstrom complex, he is not primarily important as an eyewitness to the missile shutdown, but as part of the administrative source chain: TDET inquiry, reply-letter, and trip-report references connect Belt/Malmstrom reports with the later University of Colorado / Condon investigation. These references remain unresolved in the current package, so Chase should be treated as a context and provenance figure, not as standalone evidence for Echo or Oscar Flight details.
