A. Ray Gordon was a U.S. intelligence officer who served as the officer in charge of UFO investigations within the CIA's OSI (Office of Scientific Intelligence) Physics and Electronics Division during the 1950s. Following Deputy Director for Intelligence Robert Amory Jr.'s assignment of UFO investigation responsibility to OSI, Gordon coordinated closely with the Air Force's ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center) and oversaw contributions from each branch of the division. He played a key role in the CIA's early systematic approach to UFO phenomena analysis during a period when the Agency concluded that sightings represented misidentifications of natural phenomena rather than enemy aircraft.
