REVISED AF REGULATION PROVES CENSORSHIP (UFO Investigator,
NICAP, March 1960, pg. 4).
Citing sections 4a and 14a of the revised AF regulations
200-2, the pages of the “UFO Investigator” NICAP, in this article, suggested the existence of new levels of secrecy
on a topic deemed unimportant, bunk, and a waste of taxpayer dollars. “High
priority findings” were to be immediately phoned to ATIC from any air base in
the United States.
This was in addition
to the previous reading of the same regulation that required the following
entities to be informed for a sighting: Air Defense Command (ADC), to the
nearest ADC division, the Air Technical Intelligence Center, and AF
Intelligence in Washington. This, after a decade of assuring the American
people that the objects were not Russian, were not a threat to the security of
the United States and did not reflect a superior level of technology or new
science.
Additionally, radarscope photos are to be classified;
suspected or actual UFO material is to be safeguarded until it could be turned
over to intelligence for evaluation, AF base commanders were prohibited from
releasing a UFO sighting unless the
object has been positively identified as a familiar or known object (AF
italics). No unsolved cases may be released to the press, AF pilots and
personnel were not to discuss UFO sightings with “unauthorized persons” unless
specifically directed, and then only on a “need basis. to know”
