Reference is made to Colonel McCoy's informal proposal @ that certain fighter aireraft be mintained on a continuous alert status, within the Zone of the Interior, to aid in gathering in- formation on Plying Dises. 2. Thio proposal is congidered unfeasible for the following reasons? : a. The outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too ' great. in relation to the results obtained. b, Proper interception is not possible, except by acci- j wD dent, without complete radar coverage.

SUBJECT: Fiving Discs TO: Director of Plans and Operations pate 12 FEB 1948 1 FROM: Director of Intelligence it. Col OREN Nears 1. By letter fran this Headquarters, dated 30 December 1947 with subject as above, the Commanding General, Air Materiel Command is instructed to "set up a project whose purpose is to ollect, collate, evaluate and distribute to interested government agencies and contractors all information concerning sight- ings and phenomena in the atmosphere’ which can be construed to be of concern to the national security". 2. ‘The Commanding General, Air Materiel Command feels that the responsibility @ assigned to him for collecting and developing information and intelligence on the "flying discs" should be conplemented by a requirement that all Air Force installa- tions in the United States and Alaska provide a minimum of one each fighter or night interceptor type aircraft, with necessary crews, on a continuous alert basis, These aircraft should be equipped with gun camera, and such armament as deemed advisable, in order to secure photographs necessary to the obtainment of all possible data on any reported and sighted unusual phenomena, of the "flying disc" type, in the atmosphere. 3. It is envisaged that each Air Force installation maintaining aircraft on an alert basis for this purpose would investigate all unusual flying objects reported fram any source in any area over which it has cognizance. Such a program would obviously require a detailed Standard Operating Procedure, in the preparation . of which Air Materiel Command should cooperate. 4. Your comments and/or concurrence are requested.

The proposal of Air Materiel Command for stationing fighter aircraft at all bases on a continuous alert status is not considered feasible for the following reasons: a. The outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too great consistent with the results to be obtained. b. Proper interception is not possible, except by accident, without complete @:.: coverage which the Air Force is not capable of providing. ce. It is doubtful if fighter aircraft would be able to follow up reports emanating, for the most part, from civilian sources. 2. It is recommended that Air Materiel Command's responsibility for "collecting" information on unusual phenomena in the atmosphere be confined to the establishnent of direct channels for the receipt of such information. 3. It is further recommended that in lieu of the proposal of Air Materiel Command, all other major commands be directed to cooperate with Air Materiel Command end to channgql| information directly to that command. .
