A Defense Intelligence Agency report released through the Department of War's UFO collection examines whether the quantum vacuum itself could be engineered to propel future spacecraft — and catalogs the exotic physical effects such engineering would produce.
This initial report on unidentified flying objects, directed by General L. C. Craigie in December 1947, consolidates over 100 incident reports and documents a consultation with Dr. Irving Langmuir of General Electric, who was 'reluctant to consider the so-called flying discs as a reality.'
