G.F Feid By. Mr winnish 145-F RECEIVE AUG- DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE JACKY WASHINGTON CARELA OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 5 AUG 1957 Dear General Goodpaster: Your referral to the Secretary of Defense, relative to Mr. Richard Ogden's letter to The President under date of 25 March 1957, concerning unidentified flying objects, was referred to the Air Force for reply. The Air Technical Intelligence Center has corresponded with Mr. Ogden on several occasions and furnished him with a summary of Project Bluebook Special Report No. 14 which outlines the Air Force position on the subject of unidenti- fied flying objects. Considerable research would be required on the part of the Air Technical Intelligence Center to either confirm or refute Mr. Ogden's claims. Senator Jackson's office indicated they did not intend to Henry M reply to Mr. Ogden. No useful purpose can be accomplished by responding to Mr. Ogden, and a reply would in all probability generate additional inquiries. Sincerely yours, JOE W. KELLY x Major General, USAF Inclosure Director, Legislative Liaison Brigadier General A. J. Goodpaster 6F11 Staff Secretary The White House Re thing Soweers # x press r adde here
