Twining Memo, Air Force General Declares 'The Phenomenon Is Something Real'

Lt. General Nathan Twining, commanding officer of Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson AFB, sent a classified memo to Brigadier General George Schulgen stating that 'the phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious.' Twining described disc-shaped objects with extreme manoeuvrability, no visible means of propulsion, and possible remote control, and recommended the establishment of a formal investigation. The memo led directly to the creation of Project Sign.
