“Maj. Gen. John A. Samford, director of Air Force intelligence, offered the further assurance that a six-year study shows ‘no pattern vaguely resembling any threat to the United States.’ … Gen. Samford said: ‘I think radar is beginning to tell us a great many things it was not built to discover—for instance, about Northern Lights and atmospheric conditions after a heat wave.’”

What this page does not support: The link's wording "held the Pentagon press conference". The page reports what Samford said; it does not place it at a Pentagon press conference. The relation text overreaches this page by a little and should be reviewed.
