THIS PAGE,IS UNCLASSIFIED 1 . , \ T .H I S A G E I S U .. N C L A S- S I '' F I E D \, \ \ ^ V ; The evaluation of 1952 reports will be more time consuifiirig than was o '' the case for earlier reports, because reports now are in more detail and often consist of sightings of one object by more than one individual. Since October 16, 1952, it has been necessary to establish.a rotation i '' system for handling sighting reports, no more than 100 sighting reports being permitted away from 1JPAFB at any one time. Questionnaires and work sheets com- pleted herte must therefor^ be put in duplicate fodders before sighting reports matching these questionnaires and work sheets are returned to WPAFB in return for unprocessed sighting reports. When evaluation conferences are held, these '' folders must be matched before an evaluation is made. The necessity for estab- i . i lishing a rotation system has causfed some delay in progress. ^ANALYSIS OF SOIL AND VE&TATION SAMPLES, / i . _ i Two samples of vegetation and soil from Pittsburgh, Kansas, which ! | i ''were submitted by liiPAFB for analysis, have been thoroughly studied. Examination by experjbs on soil and vegetation disclosed no difference between the two samples from the two areas where the specimens were obtained. Tests for radio- II activity likewise showed no significant difference between trie two samples of soil and vegetation. Tests were made for beta, gamma., and alpha radiation. Samples of tiie "Kansas" soil and the vegetatijon will be returned to WPAFB in the future. ''J LNT CONSULTANt ON ASTRONOMY i , !
