'UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare For?' Study
UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare For?
Date rangeMid- to late Cold War
Originating officeUS defense research body (front page redacted)
A 94-page defense study analysing the question: if UAP are advanced foreign or non-human craft, how should the US prepare? Topics include radar signatures, possible propulsion, the physics of high-G manoeuvres, and implications for the NORAD command chain. The document avoids declarative conclusions but its analytical framework has become an important template for later official UAP studies.
Significance
An early canonical study that lifted UAP from incident-level reporting to a national-defence policy question.
