Background

A January 30 openly private Memorandum for Record by OSI's Philip Strong was mysteriously titled 'Briefing of ONE Board on Unidentified Flying Objects, January 30, 1953.' While the composition of the 'ONE Board' came to be partially identified, precisely what its purpose was could not be defined outside government circles.

Assisted by agent Fred Durant, Strong advised eleven high-ranking officials, including a general, an admiral, an ambassador, a future CIA director (William Bundy), and 'Dr. Edgar Hoover.' Among other materials in the same file were summary statements regarding the Tremonton, Utah, and Great Falls, Montana, films.
