‘WN ro rege =, a Ba Air Materiel Command Aero-ledical Laboratory (Dr. Paul M. Fitts - 212 Incidents cor 1sidered) There are sufficient Tipline ‘ical explanations for the reports of unidentified flying eae7s ts to provide plausible ee for re- ports not otherwise exp] lainable. These errors in identifying real stimuli result chiefly from inability to estimate speed, distance, and size e All of the remaining 34 incidents are treated in detail in thi report. These incidents form no pattern in regard to area of sizhting, type of object, or manner of performance. There are indications, how- ever, that some sightings were influenced by earlier reports, and probably would not have been considered unusual or reported had there been no publicity.
