Conclusions
The working party’s conclusions were set out in a document dated June 1951 and bearing the designation DSI/JTIC Report No. 7. It was entitled “Unidentified Flying Objects” and classified “Secret Discreet”.
Dr David Clarke of Sheffield Hallam University was the first person to obtain a copy of the report in 2001 under the Code of Practice on Access to government information. The discovery was made public in The Observer
The document was subsequently made available at The National Archives on 1 January 2002. A full discussion of the Working Party's findings and interviews with some of the key players, can be found in Chapter 5 of Clarke and Robert's book 'Out of the Shadows: UFOs, the Establishment and the Official Cover-up' (London: Piatkus, 2002). Some of the key PRO file references containing the Report and related DSI/JTIC discussions are DEFE 44/119, DEFE 41/74 and DEFE 41/75.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusions:
“I have always been, am, and propose to remain a mere scholar. All that I have ever proposed to myself is to say, this and this I have learned; thus and thus have I learned it; go thou and learn better; but do not thrust on my shoulders the responsibility for your own laziness if you elect to take, on my authority, conclusions the value of which you ought to have tested for yourself.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing more than earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
