Background
On the heels of the Washington D.C. radar events, on July 29, 1952, Ralph Clark, Acting Assistant Director of the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), advised the Agency's Deputy Director of Intelligence (DDI) that verified UFO reports were ongoing. 'In the past several weeks a number of radar and visual sightings of unidentified aerial objects' were received.

OSI would be participating in that study.
