COLORADO UNIVERSITY ENDS SAUCER STUDY BUT DOES NOT DISCLOSE RESULTS

Field investigations of UFO reports by the U of Colorado research project were completed on schedule today, but findings won't be discussed until the final report is sent to the National Academy of Sciences in late September. The U of

Colorado undertook a $500,000 study of UFOs at USAF's request because critics accused USAF of failing to make a comprehensive, scientific investigation of saucer reports.

In a related development, NICAP held a news conference yesterday to announce it

has "broken with" the Colorado Project to "reveal the firing of top project scientists and other incidents leading to the project's failure. "A May 14 Look article by John G. Fuller told about the oustings last February of David R. Saunders, a psychologist, and Dr. Norman E. Levine, an electrical engineer,

and called the project the "flying saucer fiasco". On the House floor yesterday, Representative J. Edward Roush quoted from the Look article and said

Congress should take over the UFO investigation from USAF because grave doubts had arisen "as to the scientific profundity and objectivity of the Colorado project."
