Background

On March 28, 1966, Representative Gerald Ford addressed the chairmen of the Armed Services and Science committees regarding aerial phenomena. Citing extensive media coverage and eyewitness accounts from his constituency, he expressed dissatisfaction with military explanations provided thus far. The correspondence urged immediate legislative scrutiny of unexplained sightings. This initiative marked a significant political effort to force governmental transparency regarding aerial anomalies during the mid-1960s.
