THIS PAGE IS UNC''LASSIKILP \ \ H 3- ''> P A G E u A S S I F I E D t SECURITY INFORMATION UNCLASSIFIED January 23, J.953 \ Mr. Miles E. Goll Box 9575 Wright-Patterson Air Force- Base Ohio \ Dear Mr. Goll: This letter report describes progress for the period from December 11, 1952, to January 10, 1953. Sighting reports have now been processed up to arid including 1'' August 10, 1952. Evaluation of sighting reports has been completed for sightings up to and including July 15, 1952. Reports for 19U7 and 19I48 \ were ejraluatedj thes reports had been at Harvard University, and thus hati not been evaluated''in chronological order. In our previous letter to you, dated December l5>, 1952, it was stated that a preliminary analysis of data from all sighting reports made before 1952 would begin as soon as possible after the 19^7 and 19U3 reports were reprocessed and evaluated., It had been hoped th^t results of the preliminary analysis would be avail- able by January ,1, 1^53. This has not been possible, because of the ex- tensive work required in reprocessing the 19U7 pid 191*8 sighting reports after their return from Harvard University. Reprocessing of these reports required more time than anticipated, because many of our forms had been 1 lost. This has delayed our consideration of the 1952 sighting-reports. '' One two-day, evaluation conference was held during this report period, on December 17 and 18, 195,2. As mentioned in the llast progress , j report, evaluation of later sighting reports has been more ''difficult tfkan f for earlier ones. '' | '' '' " Preliminary analysis by IBM machines of data from sighting , reports dated before 1952 will begin January 20^11953. Results)of this'' analysis will be sent to WPAFB as soon as they are available. , The 1 results will be reported informally first to Cap-bain Ruppelt, as he has requested. Later, they will be included in a routine progress report. Coding and evaluation of 1952 sighting reports is continuing, with evaluation conferences scheduled as they are necessary. All sighting reportB dated prior to August 25, 1952, should be) processed by February 15, 1953. CTke period of August 10 to 25, 1952, was one during which a large number of sighting, reports was received0 By this same date, ail reports dated before August 1, 1952, are expected to be evaluated.
