Colonel Clingerman's position at Wright-Pat was chief of Intelligence Analysis for Air Materiel Command (MCIA), and as such was in the executive command chain over Project SIGN, just beneath McCoy. He was a fine engineer and intelligence of­ficer who personally investigated what was perhaps the first instance where Wright-Patterson was ordered by the Pentagon to send personnel to the site of a UFO case, at Harmon Field, Newfoundland. Clingerman wasn't a "believer": "If such craft actually have been sighted, it is believed more likely that they represent the effort of a foreign nation, rather than a product from beyond the Earth."
