CIA Memorandum on Flying Saucers, Dr. Jessup, and Wayne Aho
This two-page CIA internal memorandum, addressed to the Deputy Director for Coordination and signed within the Office of Scientific Intelligence, follows up on a telephone call regarding two subjects: a 'nuclear study in Mexico' and 'flying saucers.' It records that Dr. Chamberlain, Chief of the Fundamental Science Division, contacted Dr. M. K. Jessup of the Physical Sciences Intelligence Committee at the author's request. On the flying saucer matter, Jessup referred the office to a Mr. Wayne Aho, and the Office of Operations arranged a meeting with him attended by two specialists from the office — one covering aircraft in the Applied Science Division and a geophysicist from the Fundamental Science Division. A report of the conversation with Aho and a clipping of George Dixon's column in the Washington Post of 26 July concerning Aho are noted as attachments. The memorandum concludes that the agency has 'nothing to gain in further follow-up' and that the information is being passed along solely because of Aho's connection with Dr. Jessup. The text is heavily degraded by poor OCR, so some names and details are uncertain.
