Nevertheless I find his arguments unconvincing. First, imply that Hynek is inconsistent when he states thu: UFO’s have been: seen by “scientifically trained people” but have nof been scen by “trained ob- seivers.” 2 thins the distinction here is ‘eusonably char.

Approved For Release 2001/04/02 : CIA- RDP81R00560R000100010008- 3 . . . Markowitz’ failure to find de- tailed reports in print is puzzling. That he shcu'i base his arguments on the minor Chiles-Whitted case (of which it is true that my evaluation is at vari- ance with Hynek’s) or such a_ brief observation, made under unfavorable conditions, as the Tombaugh case, tends to indicate that he is not really inter- ested in the best documented sightings; on the contrary, he is deliberately se- lecting borderline cases in an effort to cast doubts on the validity of current official and private attemp…

Approved For Release 2001/04/02 : CIA-RDP81R00560R000100010008-3 “the trick would be” to “appear” objective On September 18, Condon, Low and Saunders met for the first time in many weeks. As a result of his reading of the memo, Saunders was deep- ly concerned about the negative approach to the UFo problem. It would be easy, he felt, to concentrate on the nut-and-kook cases and persuasively eliminate any serious consideration of the real problem. The meeting went on for three hours. Low did most of the talking. Condon seemed tired. Low’s position was that Saunders was sticking his nose into som…

We join Loox and John G. Fuller in disclosing the facts as a public service. At first, NicAP was dubious about an AF-financed project. After Dr. Condon pledged a fair study, we briefed scientists, trained field teams, loaned verified reports by pilots, aerospace engineers and other capable observers. Later, news stories quoted Condon as strongly biased, reject- ing all evidence. When we found that barely one half …
