1946-11-05 / Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio

On September 23, 1947, Lt. Gen. N. F. Twining of Air Materiel Command at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, transmitted a letter to Headquarters Army Air Forces stating that the flying disc phenomenon "is something real and not visionary or fictitious," describing observed objects as disc-shaped, flying in formations of three to nine at speeds above 300 knots. On December 30, 1947, Maj. Gen. L. C. Craigie directed AMC to establish Project SION, priority 2A, classified "restricted," to collect and distribute flying disc sighting data.
