CIA-UAP-D021, Analysis of Unconventional Aircraft Sightings, 1955 is indexed as a CIA record with incident date 1955. Sections 1 and 2 of this memorandum document a 1955 analysis of reports of flying saucers or unconventional aircraft, referencing the incident described in observer debriefings contained within CIA-UAP-D020. The memo summarizes the incident as consisting of two lights rising vertically, then passing above the observers. The memo contains caveating language that suggests the author concluded that the reports, as described, did not indicate the presence of an unconventional aircraft. Section 3 cites a previous finding by Dr. [Howard] Robertson (of the 1953 Robertson Panel) that almost all the sightings [ ] represented no threat to the U.S. Section 4 discusses the state of then-current research into saucer-like aircraft under Project Y, a contemporary joint U.S.-Canadian aerospace development program.
