description: "Peter Mackenzie Millman was a Canadian astronomer and meteoriticist. He worked at the David Dunlap Observatory from 1933 until 1940. In early 1941 he enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force. In 1946 he joined the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa. Millman was the chair of Project Second Storey, an interdepartmental committee on unidentified flying objects, for the duration of its existence from 1952 to 1954. Millman did not believe that UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin and considered the project a waste of resources."
