DOE-UAP-D004, Los Alamos Conference on Aerial Phenomena, 1949
This document is a transcript of a 1949 conference held at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (now Los Alamos National Laboratory), Los Alamos, New Mexico. Attendees included several eminent scientists and physicists, many of whom had contributed to the development of the first nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project. The purpose of the conference was to discuss and gather hypotheses to account for the nature and origin of a phenomenon involving “green fireballs” that had been reported over a period of several months in the vicinity of the laboratory. The group did not come to a consensus on a likely attribution for the phenomenon, though a leading hypothesis was that the observations may have been related to meteors entering the atmosphere at a shallow angle and high altitude. Dr. Edward Teller suggested that if not a “material body,” an “electron phenomenon” might be the cause, while Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, an expert specializing in meteorics, expressed that “nothing like this, to [his] knowledge, has ever been observed in the case of meteorite drops.”
전쟁부(DOW)-미확인 이상 현상(UAP)-D094, 미국의 비행물체 사고 분석, 1949
This file contains a U.S. Air Force (USAF) Air Intelligence Division study, “Analysis of Flying Object Incidents in the United States,” Study No. 203, dated 04/28/1949. The analysis includes an assessment of various reported unidentified flying object (UFO) incidents and theories to account for their nature and origin. Overall, the study assesses that “it appears that some object has been seen; however, the identification of that object cannot be readily accomplished.” The study offers that two “reasonable” origins might account for the phenomena: technologies of a domestic or foreign origin. It also suggests that, if foreign, it is prudent for the United States to assume that UFO observations are attributable to scientific, military, or intelligence activities of the Soviet Union, and, in that case, to take seriously the threat such objects may pose. The file also contains selected contemporary UFO reports and examples of experimental “flying wing” type aircraft planforms that might account for certain commonly reported UFO characteristics. AARO Comment: This file appears to be a later revision of the file contained in DOW-UAP-D093, whose content is substantively similar.
FBI-UAP-D011, D/FBI Correspondence Referral, 1949
이 문서 모음에는 미확인 변칙 현상(미확인 이상 현상(UAP))과 잠재적으로 관련된 사건에 대한 Barnes의 설명과 관련하여 FBI(연방수사국) 국장 J. Edgar Hoover와 Charles Barnes 목사 간의 서신이 포함되어 있습니다. Barnes 목사는 고도 약 10,000피트에서 4개의 빛 광선이 '캐스케이드 산맥에 수렴'하는 것을 관찰했으며 해당 광선의 수렴 지점에서 최소 10분 동안 '큰 폭발'이 보이는 것을 설명했습니다. 후버 국장은 반스 목사에게 편지에 대해 감사를 표하고 편지를 원자력 위원회(AEC)에 전달했음을 알리는 답장을 보냈습니다. Hoover 국장은 Barnes 목사가 이 사건이 위원회의 범위 내에서 군사 또는 과학 실험과 관련이 있을 수 있다고 믿고 있다고 AEC에 전달했습니다.
