~1958
⟳ Deeper read pending. This record is from the FBI 62-HQ-83894 flying-disc file, whose cursive, clippings and faint scans are under-read by automated OCR. It is flagged for a vision-transcription pass and likely undercounts what the source contains — see the documents collection note.
Analysis — our summary
The Sub-A file includes a newspaper clipping or reference in which psychologist Carl Jung is quoted in 1958 stating that UFOs are real, 'show signs of intelligent guidance by quasi-human pilots,' and are 'not explainable by purely psychological explanation.' This is included in the FBI case file as a notable expert opinion, not as a primary incident report.
As reported — verbatim from the document

Analyst notes — caveats & confidence
