The Robertson Panel was a scientific committee convened by the CIA in January 1953 to evaluate UFO reports.
The Robertson Panel was a scientific committee chaired by Howard P. Robertson, an American mathematician and physicist affiliated with Caltech and later Princeton. The CIA convened it to evaluate reports of unidentified flying objects. Its work is known as the "Robertson Report" or the "Robertson Panel Report."
According to later summaries, the committee recommended reducing public attention to UFO reports and preventing mass panic. This historical committee is frequently mentioned in discussions about early UFO investigations in the United States, Project Blue Book, and subsequent UFO studies.
Today, the Robertson Panel is not an active body in official U.S. policy regarding UFOs or UAPs; it remains a historical advisory committee from 1953.
