What it's used for here

The Debrief, 23 May 2022. The only published study of the folder. Notes that only a few of its 19 pages concern Hackensack, that most are correspondence with a Wildwood woman redacted except as 'Mrs. Evans', and that the last are the Danforth specimens; quotes Hynek's rating. Using unredacted copies obtained with CUFOS, identifies 'Evans' as Ethel Mary Goetz Rodman, who wrote knitting books under that name and died in Atlantic City on 28 July 1950. Reports newspaper searches finding no Wildwood sightings in 1947-48, FOIA requests to the Air Force and FBI pending, and asks whether the Air Force really investigated her or humoured her and why the cases share a file. Does not cite the separate Incident 50 file or the FBI's 13 August 1947 interviews.
