1. Reference is made to Colonel McCoy's informal proposal
that certain fighter aircraft be mintained on a continuous alert
status, within the Zone of the Interior, to aid in gathering in-
formation on Flying Disce.
2. This proposal is considered unfeasible for the following
reasons:
a. The outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too
great in relation to the results obtained.
b. Proper interception is not possible, except by acci-
dent, without complete radar coverage. The Air Force is incapable
of providing such coverage.
C. It is doubtful if fighter aircraft would be able to
follow up reports emanating, for the most part, from civilian sources.

COMMENT, No. 1
FROM:
Director of Intelligence
Lt. Col Garrett/1wd/4544
1. By letter from this Headquarters, dated 30 December 1947 with subject
as above, the Commanding General, Air Materiel Command is instructed to "set up
a project whose purpose is to collect, collate, evaluate and distribute to
interested government agencies and contractors all information concerning sight-
ings and phenomena in the atmosphere which can be construed to be of concern to
the national security".
2. The Commanding General, Air Materiel Command feels that the responsibility
assigned to him for collecting and developing information and intelligence on the
"flying discs" should be complemented by a requirement that all Air Force installa-
tions in the United States and Alaska provide a minimum of one each fighter or
night interceptor type aircraft, with necessary crews, on a continuous alert basis.
These aircraft should be equipped with gun camera, and such armament as deemed
advisable, in order to secure photographs necessary to the obtainment of all
possible data on any reported and sighted unusual phenomena, of the "flying disc"
type, in the atmosphere.
3. It is envisaged that each Air Force installation maintaining aircraft on
an alert basis for this purpose would investigate all unusual flying objects
reported from any source in any area over which it has cognizance. Such a program
would obviously require a detailed Standard Operating Procedure, in the preparation
of which Air Materiel Command should cooperate.
4. Your comments and/or concurrence are requested.

COMMENT No. 2
FROM:
Director of Plans and Operations
Major Cook:csk 72233
1. The proposal of Air Materiel Command for stationing fighter aircraft at all
bases on a continuous alert status is not considered feasible for the following reasons:
a. The outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too great consistent with
the results to be obtained.
b. Proper interception is not possible, except by accident, without complete
dar coverage which the Air Force is not capable of providing.
C. It is doubtful if fighter aircraft would be able to follow up reports
emanating, for the most part, from civilian sources.
2. It is recommended that Air Materiel Command's responsibility for "collecting"
information on unusual phenomena in the atmosphere be confined to the establishment of
direct channels for the receipt of such information.
3. It is further recommended that in lieu of the proposal of Air Materiel Command,
all other major commands be directed to cooperate with Air Materiel Command and to channel
information directly to that command.
