ATTN: COLONEL PATTISON, AFCIN-X

SUBJECT: (C) Review and Comment - UFO Rpt, Andana, Turkey 12 Mar 58

1. Further to the request from your office regarding the sighting reported from Adana, Turkey, during March 1958, our records indicate the following:

a. The incident was submitted as a CIRVIS report under provision of JANAP 146, March 1954, and not as an Air Force UFO report.

b. The report is very meager and lacks essential data necessary for more detailed analysis or positive conclusions.

c. The object (…

Memo to ACS/I, Attn: CIN-X Subj: R & C UFO R, A, T 12 Mar 58

b. As you know, on very dark nights, it is possible to observe aircraft mostly from their jet or afterburner flame, with no sound. This also holds true with aircraft condensation trails during the day.

3. On the basis of the data given, there is no reason to believe that the "unknown light" observed was other than a high-altitude jet aircraft from a neighboring "East Bloc" country assuming, of course, that all friendly aircraft flights were accounted for. (Secret)
