Page 38, UFOs: A History, 1953 March-July
Date: Not clear. Appears to be: 8 May 1954. Photo copy in
author's files.
The CIA's H.P. Robinson (sic) is sent the "best"
(Pinchbottle) cases. (See below)
(I've lost track of the source of this document. It may have
come from the big Darlington UFO case file found in Dr. Hynek's
records, or even from R.M. Olsson personal papersL.E. Gross)
II. Recently Project Blue Book sent
five of its best unsolved 1953 sightings to Dr. H. P. Robinson,
California Institute of Technology, for his review and
comment. The sightings included Luke AFB, Continental
Divide, Sea of Japan, and Port Huron, Michigan.*
III. The system of transmitting
FLYOBRPTS to McMillan Observatory with the possibility of identifying
them as astronomical bodies is working out well. Their
system was instrumental in identifying the object of the Darlington,
Wisconsin, sighting as well as establishing the possibiity that
the planet Venus has been the cause for all the sightings coming from
Japan in recent months.
