The “Air Intelligence Division Study: Analysis of Flying Object Incidents in the United States,” dated December 10, 1948, is a crucial document in the history of UFO research. Originally classified as Top Secret, it was ordered to be destroyed in 1950, but surviving declassified copies have been obtained and studied by researchers such as Michael Swords, Jan Aldrich with Project 1947, the late Clifford Stone, and many others.
This document provides an early analysis of UFO sightings and the government’s approach to understanding these phenomena. Its survival has made it a valuable resource for understanding the initial stages of official UFO investigations.
One of the key aspects of the document is its detailed examination of various UFO sightings across the United States. It includes descriptions of the objects’ appearance, behavior, explores patterns or trends observed in the sightings.
