Carter's White House Wanted NASA To Establish UFO Panel of Inquiry

Title of article, Carter Wants UFO Probe by he Daily Sentinel published on 11-26-1977

“… what NASA should do about a White House request that it establish a UFO panel of inquiry. The panel would take up where the Air Force left off 10 years ago when it closed its UFO investigation, Project Blue Book.”

     The White House, whose chief occupant once spotted a strange glowing blob in the sky, wants the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to look into reopening the government’s probe of unidentified flying objects.

But NASA officials aren't eager to do it without some solid evidence such as a “little green man,” or at least a piece of metal from a UFO.

“We're not anxious to do it because we're not ure what we can do” said Dave Williamson, NASA assistant for special projects. “It's my personal opinion that it’s not wise to do research on something that is not a measurable phenomena. Spending public money for such research is questionable.

“There is no measurable UFO evidence such as a piece of metal, flesh or cloth. We don’t even have any radio signals,” he said. “A photograph is not a measurement...”

“Give me one little green man — not a theory or memory of one — and we can have a multimillion dollar program,” he said. “It's a scientific dilemma. How do you prove something that doesn't exist?”

“It's like the Loch Ness monster revisited. Everyone sees it, but there is no physical evidence,” he aid.

Williamson heads a group of technical experts who will recommend by the end of the year what NASA should do about a White House request that it establish a UFO panel of inquiry. The panel would take up where the Air Force left off 10 years ago when it closed its UFO investigation, Project Blue Book.
