CIA and Unidentified Flying Objects

Summary

In December 1953, the CIA reviewed its involvement in the study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). This document shows that the agency reduced its interest in the topic, limiting its role to coordination with other entities such as the Air Force. The Air Force, in turn, maintained some interest, although increasingly superficial, and continued to collect sighting reports. The CIA also mentions technical efforts, such as the purchase of specialized cameras to photograph UFOs, though with problematic results due to technical failures. Despite all this, the document reflects a growing distrust in the credibility of the reports and a lack of interest in further investigation.
