Ever since the Russians released "Sputnik" there has been a great increase in the number of "flying saucers" and other unidentified flying objects (UFO) reportedly seen by people all over the U. S. On October 10, 1957, the Air Force was flooded with calls and the newspapers were full of reports that an unknown object described as "looked like the moon" and trailing a "blue flame that pulsed like a heart" had landed in the vicinity of Vernal, Utah. The Air Force immediately investigated these reports with negative results, inasmuch as no object was located nor was there any evidence of an object having fallen in Utah.

Gandy

Within the past two weeks reports in these cases have increased tremendously and some of the more serious have been described as follows: An object had landed in Nebraska with six people aboard, the persons had talked to a Nebraska farmer and then sped off into space; a firey object was seen flashing across the southern skies from Albany, Georgia, to Miami, Florida; a Coast Guard cutter had sighted a huge object flying over the Gulf of Mexico, and persons in the Southwestern states while driving their cars have allegedly seen UFO's that caused the engines in their automobiles to stop. In view of the number of these reports, the Bureau's Liaison Representative discussed these various sightings with officials of Air Force Intelligence and was advised that all the cases mentioned above have for all practical purposes been resolved as being nonauthentic or there was no basis for the sightings. Investigating details that the Air Force had out in the field investigating these matters have not submitted their complete reports but have advised that they are all more or less negative. The Air Force is following these sightings closely and all reports are submitted to the Air Technical and Intelligence Center, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio where they are evaluated and analyzed. In the event any of the future reports appear to be authentic, the Air Force will immediately notify the Bureau, keeping in mind our particular interest in matters concerning espionage and sabotage.

"We are in the process of setting up UFO observer Posts all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Alaska, Australia, Japan, England, Africa, and South America.

"Our filter-observer network is expanding by leaps and bounds, but we are still far from our goal.

"The Air Force investigation has either gone underground, or else they have the answer and are hiding the fact from the public. The fact remains that millions of people continue to see these UFOs and the public still doesn't know what they are.

"It is our purpose in organizing ICARF to find the answer to the UFO mystery, and give the facts to the public. And in order to do this we will need the assistance of every person concerned.

No further action in this matter is contemplated by this Bureau. Should additional information be received, however, it will be forwarded promptly to you. The files of this Bureau contain no information identifiable with Robert T. Stone or the Inter Continental Aerial Research Foundation.

This is the true story of our visitors from outer space 506 years ago. Many people wonder whether there are people living in other worlds and many people wish they knew for sure and some.

people wish they could contact them. Of course there are people living in another world at least and probably many worlds. My husband and three daughters and I were living on our farm in Michigan (in the sticks) Our oldest daughter was working as a waitress about seven miles

from our peace at the Country Club, that summer vacation to help pay her college expenses. I would go after her at midnight then wait untill she was ready to go home. One night right soon after we left the high way we noticed this moving object a little ahead of us along the side of the road.

from the highway to our home which made six home driveways and three roads leading off of our road that we were traveling. At each place this outer plane would hover until they knew whether we were turning off or going on by, then they would swiftly glide on ahead of me, they staied just above the trees and a little ahead of us showing they were very intelligent people because had they staied behind us we would have speeded up and panicked. When we came to our place they hesitated until we turned in then they turned in over our garden beside the drive away. My daughter got out on her side and I got out on my side of the car. They were only a short distance from from us and down much lower. They were motionless and noiseless no motors at all. We stared at each other a long time, the thot crossed my mind that they were probably taking our picture. I was completely speechless and awed. I felt the enormity of this thing that was happening. They came from endless time endless distance I felt that it was out of eternity itself. After some time they moved first on across the field down towards the river. Silently we went into the house

and on to bed without saying a word about it. It was no time for words I didn't want to break the wonderment of this little piece of sacred time in my life. Every night from now on our dog which was tied night to his dog house in the back yard would bark just a few minutes when the last light was turned off. I could tell by his bark that it was not just another animal but a person out there. The old orchard at the edge of the yard was wild and grown up with grass and bushes and small trees and six or eight old big trees. There on the edge behind high bushes of lilacs stood our indispensable little ague. (library). I noticed that the newspapers and magazines were missing every morning. I had a good idea of what was going on so I purposely put out newspapers and magazines every evening then checked in the morning and they were always gone. One day our youngest daughter mentioned that every night when she turns off her light the dog would bark and she'd see a peculiar red round light out there in the back yard. That night when the dog started to bark I opened

4
her door to see what it looked like. The light
was the size of a pie plate it was red but
it didn't throw a beam of light like our
flashlights but it did have depth. There
were at least two people one waited outside
and watched while the other one went inside
to get the papers. We lived right on the
state line and we got Indiana papers so
every evening I'd put out The Cekhart Truth
The South Bend Tribune and Chicago Sunday
Tribune and magazines.
One night the dog was not tied and he
started to bark but his bark was sliced
off. I'll never forget the sound of it. Isephood
that they killed him but I was not brave
enough to go out and look. I got up early
the next morning to see, he had run half
way across the yard and he had fallen
over just as he ran, he was unconscious
but not dead. I walked right by him but he
didn't move. This was another proof of their
goodness and human qualities because
their flashlight was a ray light and
they could have killed him had they
wanted to. He came to enough to pull him-
self into a more comfortable position before

5 the girls got up, I was noon before he could walk and three months before he was well again. One morning at the end of the six weeks I found a strange newspaper on the shelf in our (library). On top of the paper was a good quality sheet of white paper with the key to the print in the newspaper. These letters are almost like ours a couple exactly like ours however they use three letters together instead of one alone.

| 000   | 000   | 000   | 000              |
|-|-|-|-|
| 000   | 000   | 000   | 000              |

| 000   | 000   |       |                  |

I suppose to hear them read it would sound like a song song of phases. They didn't use end of sentence dots or punctuations of any kind. No capital letters either. I know that they must have learned to read our printed matter but if we heard them read it we wouldn't understand it I mean our own language. I'm sure that they get they the right meaning tho. I hid the newspaper until I could decide what to do with it but someone found it and burned it up. I feel terrible about it I know it

is unforgeable but that is what did happen anyway. The morning that I found the newspaper I went upstairs and looked down across the orchard to the river and there was the flying saucer. It was made of transparent material like glass it was dome shaped like an eskimo hut. Inside was a large ring (like a napkin ring) only huge and every thing was inside this ring and as I looked the whole ring was lit up in colors and I could no longer see inside the ring. It rose straight up and showed very plainly a- gamst the trees but after it was above the trees it looked just like a star. Pilots probably saw them many times and didn't realize what they were looking at. They probably didn't use this for outer space travel but had a huge ship plane somewhere and used this only for travel on this earth, they probably had more of them somewhere. My husband died two years ago so I rented the farm and my daughters and I live in Elkhart now. So I don't know if they ever came back or not, I know that I have no proof that this is true but I thought I'd see if the government did believe any of it. Outer space people can read

Iour print if they would shut up a station wich our print in neon lights they could understand what it is and that it woud be for an exchange of newspapers. I imagine That they are quite disgusted with our shutnehe ad they could give us much knowledge that we need. if we could contact them.
If you think that there is nothing to this and you don't believe it don't answer if you want to answer send a letter to a friend of mine you can't write to my home because my own relatives woud lock me up if they knew that I wrote to you because they definetly would not believe it so I never talked about this to anyone (Oh yes our picture was inside)

DONALD E. KEYHOE
MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION CONCERNING
(Nationalities Intelligence)

Subject, Director of National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, by letter of 9/22/58 requested particulars of Bureau's participation concerning unidentified flying objects. The committee he heads is described on letterhead as "A privately sup- ported fact finding civilian committee serving the public interests" and he lists several prominent individuals among "our Board members and Special Advisers." He is a retired Marine.

Keyhoe has been known to the Bureau since 1935 and was, and may still be, a free-lance writer. In 1948 he was described by Mr. Nichols as "a flamboyant writer and we have found from previous experience that much of his material is irresponsible." In 1951 the Director concurred with Mr. Nichols' statement that "We should not get involved with him."

As an example of his writing, the January, 1941, issue of "Cosmopolitan" magazine carried an article written by Keyhoe and John J. Daly entitled "Hitler's Plan to Seize the United States Merchant Marine." This article indicated the Bureau had in its possession documents concerning such a plan by Hitler which indication was completely false.

The attached suggested letter to Keyhoe responds in a very general way to his questions, some of which are extremely pointed such as "Have FBI Agents told witnesses not to talk about UFO sightings?" and "Does the Bureau make character investigations of UFO witnesses in some cases?" The answers which have been furnished are designed to avoid the charge we have not answered questions yet they are broad in nature to avoid his apparent pointed inquiries. His request for an interview with a Bureau official concerning our policy concerning unidentified flying objects has been side-stepped since there appears to be no point in discussing this matter further with him. JANAP 146 is

ACTION:

Dear Sir:

In response to your letter of September 22, 1958, the following requested information is furnished:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation does not investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects. When the details of such a sighting are reported to representatives of this Bureau, the information is forwarded to the Air Force.

Representatives of this Bureau do not issue instructions to individuals who have sighted unidentified flying objects that they should not talk about such sightings.

It is not a function of this Bureau to make character investigations of individuals who have witnessed unidentified flying objects.

This Bureau does not have information on unidentified flying objects which can be re- leased. This does not imply that this Bureau has information concerning unidentified flying objects which cannot be released.

It is understood that JANAP 146 is a Department of Defense document and is not, as such, applicable to the operations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

flying objects prove to be extraterrestrial, is not a function of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This Bureau is, of course, interested in any aspect of any development which would affect the internal security of the United States.

Your letter of September 22, 1958, requested an interview with an official of this Bureau concerning the matter of unidentified flying objects and this Bureau's policy in connection therewith. Since this Bureau's policy in connection with unidentified flying objects has been fully set forth above, you may feel that the requested interview is not now necessary.

This memorandum summarizes Bureau policy regarding unidentified flying objects commonly referred to as "flying saucers."

Reports of "flying saucers" became prevalent in 1947 and at request of Army Air Forces Intelligence, Bureau agreed to cooperate in investigation of flying discs. By Bureau Bulletin Number 42, 7-30-47, field instructed to investigate each instance to determine if bona fide sighting, a prank, or hallucination. Coordination with Army through liaison channels in field and at SOG.

By letter 9-3-47 from Headquarters Air Defense Command addressed to Commanding Generals of the various Air Forces it was noted original intent of Air Force was that Air Force would interview responsible observers and Bureau would investigate incidents of so-called discs found on ground. Letter stated services of the FBI were enlisted in order to relieve the numbered Air Forces of the task of tracking down all the many instances which turned out to be "trash can covers, toilet seats and what not." As result, Bureau Bulletin Number 57 of 10/1/47 instructed "all future reports connected with flying discs should be referred to the Air Forces and no investigative action should be taken by Bureau Agents." Letter of 9-27-47 advised Air Force that personnel and time of FBI could not be dissipated in this manner (62-83894-121).

SAC Letter Number 38, 3-25-49, advised that from reliable source it had been determined the USSR had been experimenting for four years on unknown type of flying disc. SAC Letter listed for field data desired by Air Force in connection with reports of sighting of flying saucers. Letter again called attention to fact no investigation should be conducted by Bureau but if reports made, information should be taken and furnished to Air Force.

SAC Letter Number 83, 8-29-52, referred to prior Bulletins and SAC Letters and cautioned that the type of information desired by Air Force should be obtained from complainants and furnished promptly to OSI locally. This SAC Letter again reminded field investigation is responsibility of Air Force.

Memorandum to Mr. Donahoe

RE: FLYING SAUCERS

Neither Agents Handbook nor manuals contain instructions regarding handling of reports of sightings of unidentified flying objects although policy has been well established by above Bureau bulletins and SAC Letters and no problems have arisen in connection with this matter. Air Force has on several occasions assured that Bureau will be advised of any developments of interest to us. Last such assurance given 11-12-57 (62-83894-387).

Our liaison with Air Force on this matter is with OSI although within Air Force this matter is handled by Air Technical and Intelligence Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

ACTION:

For your information. There appears to be no necessity for further instructions to the field or insertions in the Handbook or manuals at this time.

SUBJECT: WILLIAM ALBERT RHODES REPORT OF FLYING DISCS

For record purposes, SAC McMahon of the Phoenix Office advised at 3:21 p. m., 11/17/58, that on April 30, 1947, the above-captioned person reported to the Phoenix Office that he had taken photographs of what he believed to be flying discs, but he did not have the negatives of the pictures with him, promising he would bring them into the office the following day. On August 30, 1947, Rhodes brought negatives of the photographs he allegedly took at that time into the Phoenix Office and he was advised by SA J. Bailey Brower that the negatives were being accepted by the FBI for Air Force intelligence; that there was a question as to whether he would ever get the negatives back. With this understanding Rhodes left the negatives which were in turn turned over to George Fugate, Jr., military representative.

On April 17, 1950, Rhodes contacted the Phoenix Office for the return of the negatives at which time he was advised of the statement made to him in 1947 that the negatives were accepted for Air Force intelligence and it was doubtful if they would be returned, but that he should contact the Office of Special Investigations of the Air Force, San Francisco, California.

SAC McMahon advised that today the Arizona Republic newspaper was doing a column about flying saucers having been reported over the years and had interviewed Rhodes since their clips showed that he had been talked to back in 1947. Rhodes told the Arizona Republic that the FBI had borrowed the negatives of films he had taken but had never returned them. SAC McMahon desired advice as to what he should tell the Arizona Republic and he was informed that he should advise the paper that the negatives were received in 1947 from Rhodes with the understanding they would be turned over to Air Force intelligence and that there was doubt as to whether the negatives would ever be returned to Rhodes; that with this understanding Rhodes released the negatives; that the negatives in question were immediately turned over to Air Force intelligence representatives; and that should any further information be desired concerning the matter the Arizona Republic should contact the Office of Special Investigations of the Air Force. SAC McMahon was referred to the Domestic Intelligence Division for its concurrence.

The Honorable J. Edgar Hoover, Director,
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Washington 25, D. C.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

I am Acting Deputy Director of a local Oklahoma City know which is known as the Interplanetary Intelligence of Unidentified Flying Objects, which is interested in the serious investigation of UFO.

Recently many rumors have been printed in UFO periodicals, concerning reports that Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation have discouraged certain saucer investigators, particulary Mr. A. Bender of Bridgeport, Connecticut, from furthur research into the secret of these elusive discs. Since, you are the Director of the F.B.I., I would like to know whether or not these reports are factual or whether they are just rumors.

Thank you very much. Trusting to hear from you in the near future, I remain,

If policy and space permit, we would appreciate an article in your publication, asking that all persons witnessing aerial phenomenon during this period contact our office.

# Unidentified Flying Objects Interplanetary

There is now sufficient information based on data compiled from eyewitness accounts that a high percentage of aerial phenomena such as those popularly described as unidentified flying objects are "intelligently controled craft whose ports of origin are outside Earths atmosphere.

This is the conclusion reached as the result of a study begun by Aerial Phenomena Research Group in Seattle, Washington on January 1, 1954 into the field of unidentified flying objects and possibly related incidents.

Commenting on this study, National Director of Aerial Phenomena Research Group Robert J. Gribble said: "Although the accounts considered in this study did not contain scientific measurements of each sighting, it was possible to establish certain valid conclusions by the application of statistical methods in the treatment of the data. Analyzed and arranged, the data did show a marked pattern.

"On the basis of this marked pattern of the data, A.P.R.G. has concluded that a high percentage of the more than 5,000 accounts of unidentified flying objects examined in this study represent observations of technological developments outside the range of present-day scientific knowledge.

"Therefore, it is highly probable that many of the unidentified flying objects considered in this study are 'spacecraft from other planets'."

A.P.R.G. highly recommends that all national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the unidentified flying objects of the special "secrecy status" they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunatly acquired. END.

ReBulet 12/2/58 to JAMES MANEY of Oklahoma City, with copy to the Oklahoma City Office.

On 12/8/58 JAMES MANEY, 1007 N.W. 14th St., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was contacted by SA J. A. GRIMES and advised that the FBI has not discouraged the investigation of flying saucers and that the FBI does not conduct investigation concerning unidentified flying objects (UFO).

JAMES MANEY, who advised he is 13 years of age, stated he had read reports in some of the literature concerning UFO which indicated that the FBI had discouraged some of the investigators from carrying out their research. He exhibited a copy of a publication entitled "The Saucerian Bulletin" which could not be given to the interviewing Agent since he had borrowed the publication from an unidentified friend. An examination of the publication reflected it to be Vol. 3, #4, Released October 15, 1958, edited and published by GRAY BARKER, Box 2228, Clarksburg, West Virginia. The publication consisted of approximately 30 pages, contained several book reviews and advertisements for books pertaining to UFO. Page 20 of the publication contained an editorial by BARKER consisting in part of a letter which BARKER stated he had received from a researcher in the western part of the U. S. This letter stated in part as follows:

"Dear Mr. Barker

"You have often wondered where the 3 men came from that silenced Bender. I can give you the answer because 3 men tried to silence George Adamski. Adamski tells me that the 3 men were from the FBI, Air Force Intelligence, and the Central Intelligence Agency. It was the man from the CIA who made the threats that were designed to shut Adamski up."

This letter indicated that it was written by an individual who has been writing books on UFO and that his publisher is ROBERT J. GRIBBLE, 5108 Findlay St., Seattle, Washington.

JAMES MANEY advised that the above letter had also been printed in a publication originating in England and that the writer's name was listed as RICHARD OGDEN, Seattle, Washington. MANEY advised he is unable to recall the name of this publication and does not have a copy at the present time. He stated that the BENDER referred to in OGDEN's letter was A. BENDER of Bridgeport, Connecticut, who had conducted some research concerning UFOs and had allegedly been deterred from his investigation by three unidentified men. According to MANEY there has been a great deal of speculation regarding the identity of the men who tried to silence BENDER. He stated that GRAY BARKER, editor of "The Saucerian Bulletin," had written a book concerning the matter entitled "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers."

Dear Sir:

I am extremely interested in the "Bender Affair," and I will be most grateful if you could help clear up the mystery in this affair. The reason I am writing you is because I have learned recently that a researcher of the flying saucer mystery said the FBI is involved in this affair.

A civilian investigating agency was formed in Bridgeport, Conn., in 1952, to look into the flying saucer mystery by Albert K. Bender. He called the organization The International Flying Saucer Bureau. And, during his study of the saucer mystery Bender ran across something important. This information was evidently the solution to the mystery for in 1953 Bender stated bluntly, "I knew what the saucers are." Then, "three men in black suits" silenced him. Even today Bender will not discuss the matter of his "hush-up" with anyone. However, I have learned that the secret of the saucers lies the "dreadful underground menace" that is threatening the world. And, I am also extremely interested in this "menace."

EXP. PROC DEC 10 1958

I have some very important information concerning this "dreadful underground menace" that I would like to discuss with Bender very much. For the story concerning this "menace" is certainly a "hellish Horror" one, which reveals a fantastic situation, so fantastic, that it would be hardly conceivable by the public. Yes indeed, I would appreciate it very much if you could help me get in touch with Bender.

2021.03.06

I have also been getting information regarding "certain" ship tragedies that have occurred on the high seas for a very long time, and "certain" aircraft accidents and disappearances. For these tragedies reveal evidence that gives proof that such a "monce" really "exists."

I certainly will be looking forward in hearing from you.

BERT K. BENDER
MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION CONCERNING
(Nationalities Intelligence).

Enclosed is a copy of a letter received from C. N. Marck, Jr., 7834 North Loma Land Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona.

Bufiles contain no information pertaining to the "Bender Affair" nor to the "hush-up" of Bender as alleged in paragraph two of the enclosed letter. The only identifiable data in Bureau files on Bender is a letter he wrote on 10/26/52 on the letterhead of the International Flying Saucer Bureau to a Mr. L. H. Frahm, Franklin, Indiana, in which he suggested how Frahm could organize a chapter of the Saucer Bureau in Franklin. Also in Bufiles is a copy of the January, 1953, magazine "Space Review" which apparently was put out by the Saucer Bureau. This magazine contains numerous articles and squibs concerning the sighting of flying saucers throughout the world. It does not appear to have any security significance.

Unless information in your files would indicate an interview with Marck is undesirable, immediately contact him and orally acknowledge the receipt of his letter by the Bureau. At the same time thoroughly interview Marck and obtain all data in his possession concerning the "hush-up" of Bender as well as what part the FBI was alleged to have played in the "Bender Affair." In the event it is apparent that the Bureau was not so involved, so advise Marck. Submit results of this interview to reach the Bureau no later than 12/23/58. It is permissible to advise Marck that the Bureau is not cognizant of Bender's whereabouts and has no record of involvement in the "Bender Affair."

By letter 12/7/58 Mr. C. H. Marck, Jr., inquired whether we could furnish him any information concerning the "Bender Affair" and advised he was asking the Bureau since he had recently learned that the FBI is involved in this affair. Marck explained that Bender formed the International Flying Saucer Bureau in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1952 to look into the flying saucers mystery. In 1953 Bender allegedly stated that he knew what the saucers are. Then according to Marck "three men in black suits" silenced Bender to the extent that even today Bender will not discuss the matter of his "hush-up" with anyone. Marck pointed out he has learned that "the secret of the saucers lies the 'dreadful underground menace' that is threatening the world" and that he has important information concerning this menace. Marck also requested our help in getting in touch with Bender.

Bufiles contain no information on Marck. The only identifiable data in our files on Bender is a letter he wrote on 10/26/52 on the letterhead of the International Flying Saucer Bureau to a Mr. L. H. Frahm, Franklin, Indiana, in which he suggested how Frahm could organize a chapter of the Saucer Bureau in Franklin. Also in Bufiles is a copy of the January, 1953, magazine "Space Review" which apparently was put out by the Saucer Bureau.

On 12/19/58, CLAUDE HAROLD MARCK, JR., 7834 No. Loma Land Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona, stated to SAS GEORGE HOLLINGSWORTH and WILLIAM M. DREW that he had a hobby of gathering information concerning flying saucers and also gathering information concerning mysteries of the sea. He stated that any literature written he obtains in order to pursue this hobby. He referred agents to books written by Major DONALD E. KEYHOE entitled "Flying Saucers from Outer Space" and a book entitled "Flying Saucers Conspiracy." Both of these books were published by Henry Holt Company, 383 Madison, New York, New York. Major KEYHOE is a retired Major of the U. S. Marine Corps.

17,

Concerning the "Bender Affair", he referred agents to the book entitled "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers", written by GRAY BARKER and published by University Books Publisher, April, 1956, third printing June, 1956. According to MARCK, GRAY BARKER resides at Clarksberg, West Virginia, P. O. Box 2228 and is a person with whom MARCK corresponds concerning flying saucers as BARKER is alleged to have a civilian investigative agency handling investigations concerning flying saucers.

MARCK related that he has corresponded with various harbor masters and the U. S. Navy relative to the "dreadful underground menace which relates to the disappearance of crew and passengers of various ships found floundering in the open seas out of control." He stated that BARKER has also shown interest in this subject matter, however, was unable to furnish any further amplifying details. The "Bender Affair" is

Agents observed at the time they contacted the residence of MARCK, while he was absent therefrom, that his sister, SHIRLEY E. MARCK, carried on exclusive conversation concerning her brother relating that he had been taken out of high school while living in Denver, Colorado, and had been in the service until several months ago. She stated that her brother never had an opportunity since then to complete his schooling and that as of the present time, he was 33 years of age. This information was reiterated several times by her while waiting the arrival of her brother who was with his parents on a local shopping tour. After conversation with MARCK, it was apparent to agents that he is obsessed with gathering information concerning flying saucers and mysteries of the sea. He was admonished severely by his mother for having written to the Bureau without her knowledge.

Inquiry was made as to the length of time MARCK spent in the H. S. Army and he was unable to furnish the duration of his enlistment and date of discharge nor furnish his serial number. MARCK made available his discharge paper reflecting that he was inducted in 1943 and discharged in 1946 as Private First Class, Army Serial No. 37-703-300. His discharge papers showed that he attended East High School for a period of two years and that he was born 1/21/25.

After conversation with MARCK, it was apparent that the only reason he wrote to the Bureau was in an effort to locate the present whereabouts of ALBERT K. BENDER and he and his family were informed that this Bureau was unable to institute an investigation to ascertain the whereabouts of BENDER.

From the admonishment given him by his mother for writing letters to such agencies as the FBI, it would appear that CLAUDE HAROLD MARCK is a "chronic", living in a dream world of flying saucers and stories of the sea. He was informed that the agents' contact was an acknowledgment of the Bureau's receipt of his letter.

No further investigation is being made in this matter.

Re Bureau letter 12/16/58.

On 12/19/58, CLAUDE HAROLD MARCK, JR., 7834 No. Loma Land Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona, stated to SAS GEORGE HOLLINGSWORTH and WILLIAM M. DREW that he had a hobby of gathering information concerning flying saucers and also gathering information concerning mysteries of the sea. He stated that any literature written he obtains in order to pursue this hobby. He referred agents to books written by Major DONALD E. KEYHOE entitled "Flying Saucers from Outer Space" and a book entitled "Flying Saucers Conspiracy." Both of these books were published by Henry Holt Company, 383 Madison, New York, 17, New York. Major KEYHOE is a retired Major of the U. S. Marine Corps.

Concerning the "Bender Affair", he referred agents to the book entitled "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers", written by GRAY BARKER and published by University Books Publisher, April, 1956, third printing June, 1956. According to MARCK, GRAY BARKER resides at Clarksberg, West Virginia, P. O. Box 2228 and is a person with whom MARCK corresponds concerning flying saucers as BARKER is alleged to have a civilian investigative agency handling investigations concerning flying saucers.

MARCK related that he has corresponded with various harbor masters and the U. S. Navy relative to the "dreadful underground menace which relates to the disappearance of crew and passengers of various ships found floundering in the open seas out of control." He stated that BARKER has also shown interest in this subject matter, however, was unable to furnish any further amplifying details. The "Bender Affair" is related in the book published by BARKER.

NOTE: By letter 12/7/58 Marck inquired whether we could furnish him any data concerning the "Bender Affair." He explained that Bender formed the International Flying Saucer Bureau in Connecticut in 1952 to look into the flying saucer mystery. In 1953 Bender allegedly stated he knew what the saucers are; then, according to Marck, "Three men in black suits" silenced Bender to the extent that even today Bender will not discuss the matter of his "hush-up" with anyone. Marck explained that he recently learned that the FBI is involved in the "Bender Affair." On 12/19/58 Marck was interviewed to obtain all information in his possession concerning the "hush-up" of Bender as well as what part the FBI was alleged to have played in the "Bender Affair." Concerning the "Bender Affair" he referred the interviewing Agents to the book set out above. In addition to information regarding this incident it is possible this book may contain other data of interest. Accordingly, not only to resolve this matter but also to ascertain whether any allegations of interest to the Bureau are contained in the book, we should if possible obtain a copy. Upon receipt, it will be reviewed with the Bureau's interest in mind.

Dear Mr. Bryant:

I am in receipt of your letter dated February 1, 1959. In response to your request, I wish to advise that information in the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is confidential and available for official use only. I know you will understand the reason for this rule and will not infer either that we do or that we do not have the data you desire.

I am at liberty, however, to advise that the investigation of unidentified flying objects is not within the jurisdiction of this Bureau. This matter is of primary interest to the Department of the Air Force and, accordingly, I am sending a copy of your letter to the Director of Special Investigations, The Inspector General, Department of the Air Force, Building Tempo E, 4th and Adams Drive, S. W., Washington, D. C., to whom you may desire to direct further inquiries in this matter.



Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:

It is my understanding that the F.B.I. has participated in the Government's program of investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO).

How many UFO sighting reports involving alleged photographs or films of unconventional aerial objects has your organization collected, evaluated, or analyzed since January 1, 1952 to present? Has the F.B.I. ever been furnished with an analysis of maneuvers of UFO's?

I understand that congressional closed-door hearings are being held on the UFO subject. Has any F.B.I representative ever given testimony in these hearings ?

"The Anniston Star", Anniston, Alabama, daily newspaper, published an article on April 2, 1959, entitled, "Flying Saucer Witnesses Urged to Send in Data". This article said that the Aerial Phenomena Research Group, 5108 Findlay Street, Seattle 18, Washington, would like to get a report from people who have seen "Flying Saucers".

?

On April 3, 1959, Lt. Colonel OLIVER R. HERTEL, Fort McClellan, Alabama, advised that 5108 Findlay Street, Seattle 18, Washington, is believed by him to be the address of the chauffeur for the Russian Consul in Seattle, Washington. HERTEL advised a Special Agent of the 111th CIC Group at Fort McClellan that about five months ago he looked over a list of Russians and their addresses when he visited the office of the Chief Chemical Officer, Department of the Army, Washington, D. C.

The Seattle Office is requested to ascertain who lives at 5108 Findlay Street, Seattle, Washington, and whether this address has any connection with a chauffeur for the Russian Consul.

Re Birmingham letter 4-21-59.

The address of 5108 Findlay Street, Seattle 18, Washington, is the residence of ROBERT GRIBBLE, who is the so-called national director of the Aerial Phenomena Research Group. In connection with inquiries made concerning this group in 1957, GRIBBLE advised that he was regularly employed as a fireman for the City of Seattle and that his hobby is acquiring information regarding unidentified flying objects. He advised that the Aerial Phenomena Research Group has a national and an international membership of about 350 members, and that they charge a membership fee of $5.00 per year for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a publication which the group issues periodically and for other incidental expenses of the organization. According to GRIBBLE the organization is a non-profit one and was established primarily as a hobby for persons like himself who were interested in acquiring information regarding flying objects. GRIBBLE stated that the organization was centered in Seattle, and he provided the names of other officers, all of whom were residents of this city.

Twentieth District OSI, McChord Air Force Base, is aware of the existence of this group and has been furnished all pertinent information in our files regarding it.

There is no Russian Consulate or other establishment of the U.S.S.R. in the City of Seattle. Lt. Col. HERTEL's recollection of the address of 5108 Findlay Street, Seattle, having something to do with the residence of a chauffeur for the Russian Consul in Seattle is completely erroneous.

No information regarding the activities of the Aerial Phenomena Research Group has come to the attention of the Seattle Office since June 1958,

Dear Mr. Hoover:

Flying Saucers

The purpose of our organization is to investigate and study UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) or flying saucer reports.

Also we are planing to publish a publication on the same subject some time in September ( I hope ).

I was wondering is you would take the time to write an artical for our publication? It may be on the subject you care too write on, typed, and about 350 words long.

Thank you, trusting to hear from you in the near future.

Memo Sanders to Donahoe 10-13-58 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects (flying saucers) is to conduct no investigation but immediately refer facts to the Air Force (Bureau Bulletin Number 57, 10-1-47); that SAC Letter Number 38, 3-25-49, reiterated this policy and set out data desired by Air Force to be obtained when complaint received; that SAC Letter Number 83, 8-29-52, again pointed out our policy; that Air Force, as late as 11-12-57, assured Bureau would be advised of any developments in this field of interest to us; and that there appeared to be no necessity for further instructions to field or insertion in Agents' Handbook or Manual of Instructions of our policy relating to flying saucers.

During past 12 months no complaints regarding flying saucers have been referred to Bureau. During this period we have received two inquiries regarding this alleged phenomena and on both occasions the person making the inquiry has been referred to OSI.

ACTION:
For your information. At this time there appears
to be no necessity for additional instructions for the field
or insertion in the FBI Handbook or Manuals relative to
flying saucers. This matter will again be reviewed on or
about 10-5-60.

Re: Unidentified Flying Object;
Joseph Perry, Grand Blanc,
Michigan - Complainant

Mr. Joseph Perry, 3079 Edwards Street, Grand Blanc, Michigan, was contacted at his request by Agents of this office on March 5, 1960.

Mr. Perry advised that he operates a Pizza House at 3075 Edwards Street, Grand Blanc, and that he has been a professional photographer for thirty years. He explained that he has a hobby of taking photographs of the moon through a home-made telescope. At about 1:00 a.m. on February 21, 1960, he took some photographs of the moon and after developing same, he put them in his viewer and in one photograph he observed what appears to be a flying object somewhere between the end of his telescope and the surface of the moon. He said that when blown up, this object is flat on the bottom, is oval shaped, and appears to have a fluorescent glow around the entire object, and that it is apparently moving as it has a vapor trail running behind it. He has taken over one thousand pictures of the moon and has never seen anything resembling this object.

Perry said that due to his thirty years' experience in photography, he is sure that what appears on the picture is actually a flying object, and is not a malfunction of the camera, is not a blur on his telescope, and is not anything that appears on the photo because of the manner in which he developed the film. Perry took about twenty pictures of the moon on February 21, 1960, and after developing them, he observed that most of the pictures were under-exposed, so he just cut off the two that appeared to be properly exposed and destroyed the rest. He furnished both of these pictures to the FBI.

ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIED
DATE: 5/7/85
BY: Sloba/Key
Comp#: 845974

Perry advised he took the pictures with a 35 mm Retna German Camera using Super Ansco Color Film, and he took these pictures through his home-made telescope which can go to 2,840 power. He estimates that at the time he took the picture showing the flying object, that his scope was set at between 350-400 power.

This confirms information furnished to Special Agent Louis Woiwade, 25th OSI District, who also was advised that the information was being furnished for any action he deemed appropriate and no further action was contemplated by the Detroit Office of the FBI.

An article appeared in the "Flint Journal", Flint, Mich., dated 3/27/60 by Reporter ALLAN R. WILHELM. This article appeared on Page 13. The article reflects an interview with PERRY and in part states that PERRY had received at least 50 letters and calls in regard to the photograph he had taken. One letter was from National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomenon. The article contains the following quote from this letter, "From past experience with photographic evidence we consider it unlikely that you will ever see your picture again." PERRY had advised the newspaper that all he knew was that the picture was in Air Force hands. The FBI only says that it is in "proper hands", according to PERRY. The article continued, "So last week PERRY wrote to the President telling him he can't find out where his slide is and asking assurance that he will get it back." PERRY was quoted as saying, "The only way I will be satisfied if I don't get it back is if the Government tells me it is top secret."

The photograph referred to above was on a .35 mm slide which was furnished to OSI, SAFB, by letter dated 3/9/60.

OSI, Selfridge Air Force Base, Mt. Clemens, Mich., advised of the above. Additional information follows which will include a copy of clipping.

# Grand Blanc Man Makes Plea to Ike

# Film of Flying Saucer Up in Air

By Allan R. Wilhelm
The scene is a very good ad-
dress on Pennsylvania Ave. in
Washington, D. C. The time is
late last week.

A balding gentleman of dis-
tinguished bearing picks up a
letter, blinks a few times in ob-
vious astonishment and then
pushes the button on his inter-
com.

"Get hold of White (Gen. Thomas D., Air Force chief of staff) and Hoover (J. Edgar, FBI chief) and tell them to give Joe Perry back his flying saucer," he orders.

If such a scene did not take place, it's not because a Grand Blanc Township pizza merchant didn't write the letter. He did.

111

It all started because Perry, operator of Perry's Pizza Grill, 3079 Edward St., likes to take pictures of the moon through his big homemade telescope. Because he usually doesn't open until well after the sun is set, he does most of his celestial sight-seeing between pizzas.

A color shot he took about 1 A. M. on a cold night last month caused him no end of consternation. Looming against the full moon on the slide was a "saucer-like" object.

Perry showed the slide to a number of his patrons. When they saw it projected on a screen he has built into the wall of his grill, he said, most of them agreed that it looked like a flying saucer—or what most folks think a flying saucer looks like.

Then he read a newspaper

report that the Air Force was Flint FBI office, which said interested in all reports of unidentified flying objects (UFO's). So he gave it to the the slide was sent to the Washington office of the Air Force, which deals with UFO's.

When word got around that Perry had the slide, things began to happen. Since then he's had at least 50 letters and calls about it.

One of the letters concerned him greatly. It was from the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena. The committee had noticed an article about Perry's find in a Detroit paper.

"From past experience with photographic evidence," the letter continued, "we consider it unlikely that you will ever see your picture again." The letter said NICAP wanted the picture made public.

All Perry knew about the whereabouts of the picture was that it was in Air Force hands. The FBI would only say that it was in "proper hands," Perry said.

So last week Perry wrote to the President telling him he can't find out where his slide is and asking assurance that he will get it back.

"The only way I'll be satisfied if I don't get it back is if the Government tells me it's top secret," said Perry later.

He has had offers for the slide from groups that indicate they would go into court to gain possession of it from the Government.

For those who want to buy it, Perry has a stock answer: "It's not for sale."

Perry, whose hobby is expensive, admits that some financial gain wouldn't be a bad idea—but he declared "if I get it back, it's for everybody." He said he was informed a national magazine wants to use it.

Perry is confident that his
slide shows some sort of space
vehicle.

He bristled with indignation when asked if anyone had suggested that the saucer might help sell pizza. His pizza, he declared, is its own best advertisement.

Perry said it shouldn't take an expert long to tell if the slide is legitimate. The Government, he believes, wouldn't look kindly on a hoax and would make a fool of a person trying to fake such a picture.

Perry said he did not see the object through the scope. He was unaware of it until the slide was processed. He does his own processing.

The object, Perry said, looked as if photographed from the side. It is surrounded by blue-green radiation and has the appearance of being in motion.

“Everybody who has contacted me about it seems to know more about it than I do,” he commented.

All these people sounded serious, he observed, even the fellow who called long-distance and said he had ridden in a flying saucer and wanted a picture of one to show his friends. Perry said he didn't take him seriously, however.

Asked if he had advice for others who might come up with a picture of an unidentified flying object, he said:

“Yes, make a copy.”

Success.

The first part of March I turned over to the F.B.I. a colored transparency of the moon and a unidentified flying object for identification. Up to this point I have not been able to locate where it is except that it is supposed to be in the proper hands.

Quoting from a letter of March 14 from Major Donald E. Keyhoe, "From past experience with photographic evidence, we consider it unlikely that you will ever see your picture again."

Also, from other U.F.O. societies I have received the same perdictions.

I would like the assurance that this colored transparency will be returned to me within a short time, as it would be financially profitable in the pursuit of my hobby, (cameras and equipment).

I am enclosing a clipping from The Detroit Times in regards to this item.

Respectfully yours,

The FBI got wind of it last Friday and the next day two agents from the Flint office visited Joe's place here.

The FBI is interested in the picture Joe snapped last month on the second night of the full moon.

"I showed them several slides of photographs I took on that particular night," Joe said. "They did not seem to be interested until I showed this particular one and then both of them jumped up."

The picture shows a saucer-like object silhouetted against the moon.

The "thing" radiates a trail in green and appears nearer to the earth than the moon," Joe said. "It is round, much smaller than the moon, and it has a dome."

The agents took the photograph and several others.

JOE, A grandfather at 44, hopes he has been of some service to government experts in their search for answers in outer space.

The 2019-2020 school year was a year of unprecedented challenges for educators, students, and families across the country. As we look back on this unique and difficult year, it is clear that the resilience and dedication of our educators and students were key to our ability to continue learning despite the many obstacles we faced. From remote learning to hybrid models, our educators adapted quickly and creatively to ensure that students continued to receive high-quality instruction. Students, too, showed remarkable perseverance and determination as they navigated new learning environments and adjusted to new routines. We are proud of the way our students and educators rose to the challenge and continued to learn and grow throughout the year. As we look ahead to the 2020-2021 school year, we are excited to see how our students and educators will continue to innovate and adapt to meet the needs of our students. We are committed to providing our students with the resources and support they need to succeed, and we are confident that our students and educators will continue to demonstrate their resilience and determination in the face of any challenge.

Perry reported incident to the press which carried articles indicating FBI was investigating. We straightened out the "Detroit Times" on this point. Perry by letter dated 3-21-60 wrote to President Eisenhower pointing out he did not know where his photographs were but he would like assurance that they would be returned to him. Special Agents of Detroit Office on 4-12-60 informed Perry that the photographs he had voluntarily turned over to them had been furnished to OSI, Selfridge Air Force Base, and that the Department of the Air Force had been furnished a copy of his letter to the President. Perry in his 4-13-60 letter thanked the Director for relaying the message from the White House and indicated he was looking forward to the completion of Air Force analysis of his photographs so that "your office" would be able to return them to him. He pointed out that "thousands are looking forward" to viewing the photographs. A copy of the instant letter and a copy of Perry's 4-13-60 letter are being furnished Air Force for its reply to Perry.

On April 17, 1960, a lecture was given by GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL at Phipps Auditorium, City Park, Denver, Colorado, which was advertised to be a lecture, movie film, and discussion of unidentified flying objects. The audience was comprised of a majority of older individuals and also a majority of the audience was female. There were few young people, although some family groups.

The program was sponsored by the Denver Unidentified Flying Objects Investigative Societies, one of which meets monthly at the Jefferson County Bank, Lakewood, Colorado, whose executive officer was the Master of Ceremonies. The program consisted of a 45 minute movie which included several shots of things purported to be flying saucers, and then a number of interviews with people from all walks of life regarding sightings they had made of such unidentified flying objects. After the movie GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL gave a lecture which was more of a religious-economics lecture rather than one of unidentified flying objects.

VAN TASSEL stated that he had been in the "flying game" for over 30 years and currently operates a private Civil Aeronautics Authority approved airfield in California. He said he has personally observed a good many sightings and has talked to hundreds of people who have also seen flying saucers. He said that he has also been visited by the people from outer space and has taken up the cause of bringing the facts of these people to the American people. He said it is a crusade which he has undertaken because he is more or less retired, his family is grown and gone from home, and he feels he might be doing some good by this work.

RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,
INVESTIGATIVE SOCIETY;
GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL

The major part of his lecture was devoted to explaining the occurrences in the Bible as they related to the space people. He said that the only mention of God in the Bible is in the beginning when the universe was being made. He said that after that all references are to "out of the sky" or "out of heaven." He said that this is due to the fact that man, space people, was made by God and that in the beginning of the world the space people came to the earth and left animals here. These were the prehistoric animals which existed at a body temperature of 105 degrees; however, a polar tilt occurred whereby the poles shifted and the tropical climates became covered with ice and vice versa. He said that then the space people again put animals on the earth and this is depicted in the Bible as Noah's Ark. He said that after the polar tilt the temperature to sustain life was 98.6 degrees, which was suitable for space people, so they established a colony and left only males here, intending to bring females at a later date on supply ships. This is reflected in ADAM's not having a wife. He said that ADAM was not an individual but a race of men. He said that this race then intermarried with "intelligent, upright walking animals," which race was EVE. Then when the space people came back in the supply ships they saw what had happened and did not land but ever since due to the origin of ADAM, they have watched over the people on earth. He said that this is recorded in the Bible many times, such as MOSES receiving the Ten Commandments. He said the Ten Commandments are the laws of the space people and men on earth only give them lip service. Also, the manna from heaven was bread supplied by the space people. He also stated that this can be seen from the native stories such as the Indians in America saying that corn and potatoes, unknown in Europe, were brought here by a "flaming canoe." He said this refers to a space ship and the Indians' highest form of transportation was the canoe, so they likened it unto that. He said this can be shown also by the old stories of Winged Chariots and Winged White Horses, which came from out of the sky. He said that JESUS was born of MARY, who was a space person sent here already pregnant in order to show the earth people the proper way to live. He said the space people have watched over us through the years and have tried to help us. He said they have sent their agents to the earth and they appear just as we do; however,

they have the power to know your thoughts just as JESUS did. He said this is their means of communication and many of the space people are mute, but they train a certain number of them to speak earth languages.

He said that the space people here on earth are equipped with a "crystal battery" which generates a magnetic field about them which bends light waves so that they, the space people, appear invisible. He said this has resulted in ghost stories such as footsteps, doors opening, and other such phenomena.

He stated that the space people are now gravely concerned with our atom bombs. He said that the explosions of these bombs have upset the earth's rotation and, as in the instance of the French bomb explosion in North Africa, have actually caused earthquakes. He said that the officials on earth are aware of this and this was the reason for the recent Geophysical Year in order to try to determine just what can be done. He said these explosions are forcing the earth toward another polar tilt, which will endanger all mankind. He said that the space people are prepared to evacuate those earth people who have abided by the "Golden Rule" when the polar tilt occurs, but will leave the rest to perish.

He advised that the space people have contacted the officials on earth and have advised them of their concern but this has not been made public. He also said that the radioactive fallout has become extremely dangerous and officials are worried but each power is so greedy of their own power they will not agree to make peace.

VAN TASSEL also spent some time saying that the U. S. Air Force, who are responsible for investigations on unidentified flying objects, has surpressed information; and as they are responsible only to the Administration, not to the public, as elected officials are, they can get away with this. He said that also the Air Force is afraid that they will be outmoded and disbanded if such information gets out.

He said that the Administration's main concern in not making public any information is that the economy will be

RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,

ruined, not because of any fear that would be engendered in the public. He said this is due to the number of scientific discoveries already made and that will be made which are labor saving and of almost permanency so that replacements would not be needed.

In summation, VAN TASSEL's speech was on these subjects:

(1) Space people related to occurrences in Bible.

(2) Atom Bomb detrimental to earth and universe.

(3) Economy is poor and would collapse under ideas brought by space people.

Throughout his lecture, VAN TASSEL mentioned only the U. S. economy and Government and the U. S. Air Force. He did refer to the human race numerous times but all references to Government and economy could only be taken as meaning the U. S. One question put to him was whether sightings had been made in Russia or China. He answered this by saying sightings had been reported all over the world, but then specifically mentioned only the U. S., Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea.

He also mentioned that he was not advocating or asking for any action on the part of the audience because he said evil has a way of destroying itself. He did say that he felt that the audience, of about 250 persons, were the only intelligent people in Denver and he knew they had not come out of curiosity but because they wanted to do the right thing. He said that they were above the average in intelligence and when the critical time came, the world would need people such as this to think and guide.

An application blank was distributed at the meeting for membership in the Denver society of this organization.

life regarding sightings they had made of such unidentified
flying objects. After the movie GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL gave a
lecture which was more of a religious-economics lecture
rather than one of unidentified flying objects.

VAN TASSEL stated that he had been in the "flying game" for over 30 years and currently operates a private Civil Aeronautics Authority approved airfield in California. He said he has personally observed a good many sightings and has talked to hundreds of people who have also seen flying saucers. He said that he has also been visited by the people from outer space and has taken up the cause of bringing the facts of these people to the American people. He said it is a crusade which he has undertaken because he is more or less retired, his family is grown and gone from home, and he feels he might be doing some good by this work.

RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,
INVESTIGATIVE SOCIETY;
GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL

The major part of his lecture was devoted to explaining the occurrences in the Bible as they related to the space people. He said that the only mention of God in the Bible is in the beginning when the universe was being made. He said that after that all references are to "out of the sky" or "out of heaven." He said that this is due to the fact that man, space people, was made by God and that in the beginning of the world the space people came to the earth and left animals here. These were the prehistoric animals which existed at a body temperature of 105 degrees; however, a polar tilt occurred whereby the poles shifted and the tropical climates became covered with ice and vice versa. He said that then the space people again put animals on the earth and this is depicted in the Bible as Noah's Ark. He said that after the polar tilt the temperature to sustain life was 98.6 degrees, which was suitable for space people, so they established a colony and left only males here, intending to bring females at a later date on supply ships. This is reflected in ADAM's not having a wife. He said that ADAM was not an individual but a race of men. He said that this race then intermarried with "intelligent, upright walking animals," which race was EVE. Then when the space people came back in the supply ships they saw what had happened and did not land but ever since due to the origin of ADAM, they have watched over the people on earth. He said that this is recorded in the Bible many times, such as MOSES receiving the Ten Commandments. He said the Ten Commandments are the laws of the space people and men on earth only give them lip service. Also, the mana from heaven was bread supplied by the space people. He also stated that this can be seen from the native stories such as the Indians in America saying that corn and potatoes, unknown in Europe, were brought here by a "flying canoe." He said this refers to a space ship and the Indians' highest form of transportation was the canoe, so they likened it unto that. He said this can be shown also by the old stories of Winged Chariots and Winged White Horses, which came from out of the sky. He said that JESUS was born of MARY, who was a space person sent here already pregnant in order to show the earth people the proper way to live. He said the space people have watched over us through the years and have tried to help us. He said they have sent their agents to the earth and they appear just as we do; however,



RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,

GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL

they have the power to know your thoughts just as JESUS did. He said this is their means of communication and many of the space people are mute, but they train a certain number of them to speak earth languages.

He said that the space people here on earth are equipped with a "crystal battery" which generates a magnetic field about them which bends light waves so that they, the space people, appear invisible. He said this has resulted in ghost stories such as footsteps, doors opening, and other such phenomena.

He stated that the space people are now gravely concerned with our atom bombs. He said that the explosions of these bombs have upset the earth's rotation and, as in the instance of the French bomb explosion in North Africa, have actually caused earthquakes. He said that the officials on earth are aware of this and this was the reason for the recent Geophysical Year in order to try to determine just what can be done. He said these explosions are forcing the earth toward another polar tilt, which will endanger all mankind. He said that the space people are prepared to evacuate those earth people who have abided by the "Golden Rule" when the polar tilt occurs, but will leave the rest to perish.

He advised that the space people have contacted the officials on earth and have advised them of their concern but this has not been made public. He also said that the radioactive fallout has become extremely dangerous and officials are worried but each power is so greedy of their own power they will not agree to make peace.

VAN TASSEL also spent some time saying that the U. S. Air Force, who are responsible for investigations on unidentified flying objects, has surpressed information; and as they are responsible only to the Administration, not to the public, as elected officials are, they can get away with this. He said that also the Air Force is afraid that they will be outmoded and disbanded if such information gets out.

He said that the Administration's main concern in not making public any information is that the economy will be



RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,
INVESTIGATIVE SOCIETY;
GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL

ruined, not because of any fear that would be engendered in the public. He said this is due to the number of scientific discoveries already made and that will be made which are labor saving and of almost permanency so that replacements would not be needed.

In summation, VAN TASSEL's speech was on these subjects:

(1) Space people related to occurrences in Bible.

(2) Atom Bomb detrimental to earth and universe.

(3) Economy is poor and would collapse under ideas brought by space people.

Throughout his lecture, VAN TASSEL mentioned only the U. S. economy and Government and the U. S. Air Force. He did refer to the human race numerous times but all references to Government and economy could only be taken as meaning the U. S. One question put to him was whether sightings had been made in Russia or China. He answered this by saying sightings had been reported all over the world, but then specifically mentioned only the U. S., Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea.

He also mentioned that he was not advocating or asking for any action on the part of the audience because he said evil has a way of destroying itself. He did say that he felt that the audience, of about 250 persons, were the only intelligent people in Denver and he knew they had not come out of curiosity but because they wanted to do the right thing. He said that they were above the average in intelligence and when the critical time came, the world would need people such as this to think and guide.

An application blank was distributed at the meeting for membership in the Denver society of this organization.

Re: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,

GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL

On April 17, 1960, a lecture was given by GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL at Phillips Auditorium, City Park, Denver, Colorado, which was advertised to be a lecture, movie film, and discussion of unidentified flying objects. The audience was comprised of a majority of older individuals and also a majority of the audience was female. There were few young people, although some family groups.

The program was sponsored by the Denver unidentified Flying Objects Investigative Societies, one of which meets monthly at the Jefferson County Bank, Lakewood, Colorado, whose executive officer was the Master of Ceremonies. The program consisted of a 45 minute movie which included several shots of things purported to be flying saucers, and then a number of interviews with people from all walks of life regarding sightings they had made of such unidentified flying objects. After the movie GEORGE H. VAN TASSEL gave a lecture which was more of a religious-economics lecture rather than one of unidentified flying objects.

VAN TASSEL stated that he had been in the "flying game" for over 30 years and currently operates a private Civil Aeronautics Authority approved airfield in California.

ReBulet to Office of Special Investigations, Air Force, dated 4/21/60.

Enclosed herewith are 5 copies of a letterhead memo explaining a telephone call from the "Detroit Times" at Detroit, Mich., to the Flint, Mich., Resident Agency on 5/20/60.

It is noted that the Flint RA immediately advised Detroit upon receipt of this call from Reporter JERRY CHIAPPETTA of the "Detroit Times". The ASAC in turn immediately contacted JERRY CHIAPPETTA to determine the extent of his inquiry of our RA and it was determined he had merely had a call from DAVE DOWNNEY, referred to in letterhead memo, and DOWNNEY, by inference, had stated it was his understanding that the FBI Agents in Flint had previously "snatched" the 2 photos from JOSEPH PERRY. CHIAPPETTA stated he knew that the FBI did not operate that way and inasmuch as he was doing a research on his morgue files he wanted to clarify this information.

CHIAPPETTA's attention was directed to a previous contact by the Detroit Office with the "Detroit Times" at the time the incident occurred and it was reiterated to this Reporter that the FBI did not investigate this case and does not investigate

cases of this type but that we were called by PERRY concerning this matter inasmuch as PERRY volunteered information to the FBI and asked for our assistance in getting this information to the appropriate agency. It was made very clear to the Reporter that the FBI immediately transmitted these photos to the Office of Special Investigations, Dept. of Air Force, Selfridge AFB, and that Mr. PERRY was advised at the time that the FBI did not examine these photos, neither did we conduct any investigation, but that we did see the appropriate agency was furnished these photos. It is noted that our Flint Agents on subsequent contacts with PERRY, already known to the Bureau, that PERRY fully understands the situation as far as the FBI's position in this matter.

Mr. CHIAPPETTA was also advised that when Mr. PERRY turned these photos over to the FBI, he said that the Air Force could retain them until they had served the purpose and then he would like them returned to him. This information was made available to the Air Force when the photos were turned over to them. Mr. CHIAPPETTA stated he realized the FBI handled this matter properly in accordance with our established procedure and that he merely wanted to straighten the record so that he did not, by inference, indicate other than the facts should he desire to write another story on this matter.

Immediately upon receiving information from the Flint RA concerning this matter, the Office of Special Investigations at Selfridge AFB was telephonically contacted by the Detroit Office to alert them to this new inquiry in the event they should receive newspaper inquiry or contact from DAVE DOWNNEY, referred to in the letterhead memo.

At 3:58 p.m. on May 20, 1960, Jerry Chiappetta, who advised that he was on the City Desk for the "Detroit Times" at Detroit, Michigan, telephoned the Flint, Michigan, Resident Agency and advised that he had just received a telephone call from Dave Downey, who resides in Wayne County, Michigan.

Downey reportedly advised the "Detroit Times" that he is the District Director of the Aerial Phenomenon Investigation Society. Downey stated that Joseph Perry, of Grand Blanc, Michigan, received a slide from Selfridge Air Force Base, Mt. Clemens, Michigan, on May 3, 1960. This slide is the property of Joe Perry, of Grand Blanc, and Perry had claimed this slide contained a photograph of the moon and that it showed what appeared to be a flying object somewhere in the vicinity of the moon. Downey said when the Air Force returned the photograph, they gave Perry a letter explaining that what appears to be a flying object in this slide is actually a part of the negative which was not properly developed. Downey reportedly told the "Detroit Times" that he does not believe this story as he knows that Joe Perry is very meticulous when he develops pictures; therefore, he feels the slide actually does contain a picture of a flying object and that he intends to obtain this slide and forward it to the Eastman Kodak Company for further analysis.

At this time there appears to be no necessity for additional instructions for the field or insertion in the FBI Handbook or Manuals relative to flying saucers.

Memorandum 10-5-59 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects is to conduct no investigation but immediately refer facts to the Air Force (Bureau Bulletin Number 57, 10-1-47); that SAC Letter Number 38, 3-25-49, reiterated this policy and set out data desired by Air Force to be obtained when complaint received; that SAC Letter Number 83, 8-29-52, again pointed out our policy; that Air Force on 11-12-57 assured that Bureau would be advised of any developments in this field of interest to us; and that there appeared to be no necessity for further instructions to field or insertion in agents' Handbook or Manual of Instructions of our policy relating to flying saucers.

During the past twelve months only one complaint regarding flying saucers has been referred to the Bureau. That immediately was turned over to Air Force, both in the field and at the Seat of Government.

ACTION:

For your information. There appears to be no necessity
for additional instructions for the field or insertion in the FBI

Gentlemen:

Theresa

There is a gentleman, a "Dr." Stranges, who has published, or caused to be published, a book dealing with "Flying Saucers".

In public and in private the man infers that he is a former member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Is this true?

wash.

This "Dr." Stranges (Doctor of What? -- has never been explained.) is very careful of his wording, in speech and in writing, inferring many things, yet doing so in a manner that will allow him to deny them, if necessary.

He quite skilfully avoids answering directly to direct questions.

All of this is done in a manner indicating that he is rather careless of the truth, yet the sort of thing that is pretty hard to pin down.

"Dr." Stranges has coupled his "Flying Saucers" with a religious theme in such a manner that he is invited to occupy the pulpit in churches around the land.

It is my personal opinion that the man is using the churches for his private gain. (Tax free, no doubt.)

010

I am not aware that he has broken the law in any respect, but from a moral standpoint, he is, I feel, worse than a law-breaker.

He will be coming again to my church in a few weeks, and on the occasion of his other visit told several quite patent lies.

If this man is either by law, or morally, a fraud I am quite opposed to his appearance in my church.

I would appreciate knowing if he is, in truth, a former member of your organization.

COMPLAINT CONCERNING
"DR. STRANGES"
RESEARCH (CORRESPONDENCE AND TOURS)

# FLYING SAUCERS

Enclosed are copies of a letter dated October 10, 1960, which was received from captioned individual and my reply to him, all of which are self-explanatory. Bureau files contain nothing identifiable with Mr. Zigler.

On the basis of information furnished by him, it is not possible to identify the "Dr. Stranges" he is referring to in his correspondence. The possibility exists that he may be identical with Dr. Frank E. Stranges, President, International Evangelism Crusades, 7847 61st Street, Glendale, New York. Since October, 1957, the Bureau has received several communications from Dr. Stranges on the letterhead of the American Evangelistic Association of which he was listed as Vice President. These communications primarily requested information from the Bureau to be used in their monthly publication, "Vision." Stranges was identified as Vice President of the Baltimore Bible College, as well as Vice President of the American Evangelistic Association. In 1957 a brief inquiry concerning the Baltimore Bible College revealed that the school was organized in that year and had an enrollment of 121 students. It was indicated to be affiliated with the Baltimore Revival Center, and its principal officers were ministers of the Church of God. Dr. Stranges reportedly holds a Doctor of Divinity degree and is a graduate of LaSalle Law University. Stranges has been given permission to reprint two of my previously published articles and various Bureau publications have been sent to him. It has been necessary to decline several requests from him in the past, including one for an article, a proposal to make a speech and a request that a Bureau representative be designated to speak before the National Evangelistic Center in Washington, D. C. The last two communications received from him indicate he is President of the

International Evangelism Crusades.

Letter to Seattle
Re: Alfred Zigler

I desire that you have Mr. Zigler interviewed by a Special Agent in an attempt to determine if the "Dr. Stranges" of Mr. Zigler's letter is identical with Dr. Frank E. Stranges. Ascertain also Mr. Zigler's reasons for believing the individual he referred to is giving the impression that he is a former member of the FBI. I would also like to know the date "Dr. Stranges" is expected to reappear at Mr. Zigler's church. Furnish the results of your inquiry to the Bureau by 10-26-60.

Memorandum 9-30-60 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects is to conduct no investigation but immediately refer facts to the Air Force (Bureau Bulletin Number 57, 10-1-47); that SAC Letter Number 38, 3-25-49, reiterated this policy and set out data desired by Air Force to be obtained when complaint received; that SAC Letter Number 83, 8-29-52, again pointed out our policy; that Air Force on 11-12-57 assured that Bureau would be advised of any developments in this field of interest to us; and that there appeared to be no necessity for further instructions to field or insertion in agents' Handbook or Manual of Instructions of our policy relating to flying saucers.

During the past 12 months only one complaint regarding flying saucers has been received. The facts in this complaint were immediately referred to the Air Force.

MATION CONCERNING

For the information of the Bureau, there is a letterhead memorandum captioned as above relative to information received from LEONARD H. STRINGFIELD on September 25, 1961, and on October 2, 1961, by SA GEORGE J. MC QUAID. One copy of letterhead memorandum has been disseminated locally to OSI, Cincinnati,

Flying Saucers

For completion of the Bureau's file concerning matters relating to LEONARD H. STRINGFIELD, the following is set forth:

A newspaper article captioned "Death and Funerals, L.R. "PAT" STRINGFIELD; decorated war hero", appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a newspaper of general circulation in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, area, dated June 15, 1960, reflects that LEONARD R. "PAT" STRINGFIELD, a much decorated veteran of World War I, and one of the chapter members of Chapter 1 of the disabled American Veterans in Cincinnati, died at his home, 2495 Harrison Avenue, at age 62.

This article further reflects that one of his sons, LEONARD H. STRINGFIELD, Mariemont, is known nationally for his researches into the study of unidentified flying objects, and holds views on the subject which have attracted the attention of the Federal Government. The article identified Mr.

Stringfield as an Advertising Executive of the DuBois Chemical Company, and further shows that his study of reports on flying saucers, however, have convinced him they are from other planets.

Additionally, a news article appeared in the Cincinnati Post and Times Star, a daily newspaper of general circulation in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area, under date of June 4, 1960, page 5, captioned, "Tell Secrets on Saucers, Expert Says", which article is set forth verbatim as follows:

"Leonard Stringfield, Cincinnati's flying saucer expert, believes the United States could take the space spotlight away from Russia by opening up secret files on unidentified flying objects.

'It could be the start of co-operation among all governments of the world,' he says. 'If all governments would pool their information on unidentified flying objects and work in unison on this it would help to ease world tensions.'

Stringfield, advertising manager for DuBois Chemicals, Inc., believes the unidentified flying objects are from outer space and that they are controlled by intelligent beings who are observing earth.

'I don't believe there is any hostile intent,' he said. 'I believe they have been using planets in our solar system for bases, even the moon. Astronomers for years have observed shifting spots on the moon.'

Stringfield said he believes U.S. Air Force secret files contain evidence 'or near evidence' that the objects are from outer space, but that officials are afraid that it would cause panic if released.

Foreign governments, too, have such evidence, he said, but are keeping it secret for the same reason.

Stringfield, who heads Cincinnati's Unidentified Flying Object Society, became interested in unidentified flying objects in 1945 while in the Air Force. He said

he saw a formation of them from a bomber.

Since then he has served as a spotter for the Air Defense Command, published a magazine about the objects, and written a book on them.

RE: CIVILIAN RESEARCH, INTERPLANETARY
FLYING OBJECTS, LEONARD H. STRINGFIELD,
DIRECTOR, CINCINNATI, OHIO

Leonard H. Stringfield, Advertising Manager, DuBois Chemical Company, Inc., 7th and Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio, residence, 4412 Grove Avenue, Mariemont, Cincinnati, Ohio, advised on September 25, 1961, that he is active in unidentified flying objects research, that he has published a bulletin concerning these matters, that he is well known in this field, and that he has worked with the Air Defense Command concerning matters relating to unidentified flying objects.

Mr. Stringfield advised that he recently appeared on a television program known as Impact News on television station WCP0-TV, Cincinnati, Ohio, appearing on Sunday, September 10, 1961, at which time he was questioned by a panel of three members concerning matters relating to unidentified flying objects.

Mr. Stringfield advised that at approximately 9:00 A.M. on September 25, 1961, he had received an anonymous telephone call, being male caller, whose voice he described as firm, clear, and who spoke good English. The caller related that he had very important information to relate to Mr. Stringfield, whom he asked for by name in his call, relating to unidentified flying objects. Mr. Stringfield related that the caller

stated in effect, "We are calling all key and responsible people on this matter", after the caller had established that he was speaking with Mr. Stringfield, which call was placed to Mr. Stringfield's place of employment, mentioned above, telephone GA 1-5100. The caller would not identify himself, and in the phone call alerted Mr. Stringfield to expect, "the biggest flurry of unidentified flying objects sightings as a result of Russian nuclear explosions in the one hundred megaton range". Mr. Stringfield advised that the caller said to be prepared when confusion begins resulting from these sightings. The caller related that these sightings would be seen between certain dates, and that to the best of Mr. Stringfield's recollection, the caller stated, "Mark these dates, October 15 to October 19, during which will be the greatest incident in UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) activity over the years". According to Mr. Stringfield, the caller remarked further, "I'll remain in touch with you, and will call back after the nineteenth".

Mr. Stringfield advised that the caller refused to identify himself, and according to Mr. Stringfield seemed to speak intelligently in the message he had to relate to Mr. Stringfield.

Mr. Stringfield advised that he was concerned about this telephone call in that if there were any truth in the matter, and if such sightings should occur, that it may cause panic among the populous in this country, and that further, that the caller seemed to speak very seriously, and there was no indication in the caller's voice or message to indicate that it was a joke or a prank.

Mr. Stringfield advised that it is not unusual that he receives telephone calls concerning unidentified objects, inasmuch as he, Stringfield, is authorized to report sightings of unidentified objects to the headquarters, Air Defense Command, at Columbus, Ohio. He stated further that it is not unusual that he might receive such a call inasmuch as he is publicly known as a person who is interested in matters relating to unidentified flying objects.

Mr. Stringfield advised that he is an advisor to the National Investigations Committee on aerial phenomena, which committee is located on Connecticut

Street, Washington, D.C., Major Donald Keyhoe, Director.
Mr. Stringfield noted that the personnel of this committee are made up of civilian personnel.

On October 2, 1961, Mr. Stringfield advised the Cincinnati Office, FBI, Cincinnati, Ohio, that he had noted an article in the Sunday edition of the Cincinnati Enquirer, October 1, 1961, on page 1, section E, under the caption, "Offbeat Washington", which contained one paragraph, "Some Defense Department bigwigs are apprehensive that Russia will climax its campaign of intimidation by a spectacular explosion in space--an immense nuclear blast visible to hundreds of millions of people. These officials believe that the Soviet Union has the capability of setting off such an explosion 200 miles or so above the earth where it could be seen from many countries."

Mr. Stringfield advised that the above paragraph was printed as a reprint from the Herald Tribune News Service, Washington, D.C., and that this article seemed to tie in well with what the caller had related to Mr. Stringfield in the anonymous telephone call on September 25, 1961.

Dear Sirs:

I would appreciate it very much if you could give me the answers to two questions. The questions are as follows:

(1) Are you under orders to withhold information dealing with unidentified flying objects and the occupants therein? If not, are the files on these cases open to public inspection?

(2) Are you under orders to withhold information dealing with mysterious disappearanes, especially those linked with the afore mentioned ufos? If not, are the files on these cases open to public inspection?

(2a) If the answer to question #1, part a is no could you please answer the following:

Has a flying saucer, or interplanetary craft of any kind, been captured by the US Government? If yes, were there any occupants and where were they taken.

Any help would be welcomed.

Yours truly,

Re Buairtel to Norfolk, 9/20/63.

Flying Discs

A review of Norfolk files reflects that BRYANT directed a letter to the Commanding Officer, Cape Charles Air Force Station, Cape Charles, Virginia, 8/7/58, requesting information concerning unidentified flying objects (UFO). A copy of that correspondence was directed to the FBI, Norfolk, by Cape Charles Air Force Station officials.

Records also reflect that BRYANT had directed a letter to the FBI, 2/1/59, which correspondence was answered by the Bureau, 2/9/59. BRYANT directed a letter to Commanding Officer, Headquarters, Aircraft Fleet, Marine Force Atlantic, U. S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, 6/15/60, requesting information concerning UFOs. That agency submitted a copy of that correspondence to the FBI, Norfolk.

Files further reflect that BRYANT directed a letter to Commander, U. S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, 8/8/63, concerning restrictions that command has against the publicizing of flying saucer sighting reports made by Navy personnel. A copy of this correspondence was directed to the FBI Office, Norfolk, Virginia.

There is also in file a copy of a letter received by Sheriff's Office, Sussex County, Virginia, Stony Creek, Virginia, in which BRYANT requested information concerning UFOs. This correspondence was postmarked at Fort Eustis, Virginia, on 7/23/63.

This letter was forwarded to the Norfolk Office by the Richmond Division.

On 9/17/63, Mrs. BEVERLY EARLEY, Secretary to Personnel Officer, Civilian Personnel Records Section, Fort Eustis, Virginia, advised SA JOHN S. CASTLES that files in her possession reflect that LARRY WILLIAM BRYANT, who was born, 2/23/38, Shenandoah, Page County, Virginia, and who has Social Security Number 230-44-9093, was employed at Fort Eustis as a clerk-typist on 5/22/58 and is presently employed as editorial clerk (typing) Transportability Branch, Technical Manuals Division, Directorate of Training Literature, United States Army Transportation School, Fort Eustis, Virginia. Mrs. EARLEY said her records reflect that BRYANT resides 5603 Madison Avenue, Newport News, Virginia, and formerly resided at 1002 Arnold Street, Newport News, Virginia.

On 9/17/63, BRYANT was interviewed by SA JOHN S. CASTLES in Room 206, United States Army Transportation School, Fort Eustis, Virginia. BRYANT advised that he had become interested in UFO while he was a member of the Ground Observer Corps for the Civil Defense in the old City of Warwick, Virginia. He said since this time he has become intensely interested in UFOs and has done considerable research through reading and writing and obtaining information through directing letters to different military agencies and civilian agencies who have reported sighting UFOs in the past. He said his interest in UFOs is a personal one and has no official status with his current job. He said presently he has prepared a research paper on UFOs and has directed it to Department of Defense for clearance so that he might offer it for publication to a magazine or newspaper. He said this research paper is an essay-type paper.

While being questioned, BRYANT stated that he had previously written to the FBI concerning UFOs and asked did the interviewing agent know the date which he wrote, to which he was advised that it was in 1959 that he had directed a letter to the FBI.

At the conclusion of the interview, BRYANT asked what was going to be done with the information obtained from the interview, to which he was told that a memorandum would be prepared for the file.

NF 62-720

For the information of the Bureau on 9/17/63, Lt. GILBERT KLEINKNECHT, Provost Marshal's Office, Fort Monroe, Virginia, advised SA CASTLES that the G-2 Section of Second Army, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, has conducted a background check of BRYANT, since BRYANT has directed voluminous correspondence to military officials in the area and because BRYANT is employed by the Department of the Army.

Dear Sir:

This morning, your Newport News agent John S. Castles visited me at my office at Fort Eustis, Virginia, and questioned me about 10 minutes regarding my interest in reports of sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) -- namely a letter which I wrote to you in 1959 and two of my recent letters to local state and Federal agencies regarding the role of those agencies in processing UFO reports.

I

Mr. Castles stated that the objective of this interview was to determine my official identity and my motive for writing as a private citizen the letters in question. He also told me he was going to prepare a "memorandum for the files" on this interview. I request that you furnish me a copy of this memorandum or report.

There appears to be no advantage to our continuing our yearly review of captioned matter.

In 1958 we adopted the practice of once a year reviewing complaints received concerning existence of flying saucers for the purpose of determining whether instructions in addition to those already issued to the field were necessary. The last memorandum dated 10/2/62 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects was to conduct no investigation when received in the field but the field should submit the facts immediately to the Air Force. Our SAC Letters dated in 1949 and in 1952 emphasized the afore-mentioned policy and it does not appear that at this time further instructions to the field are necessary.

During the past 12 months we have received no complaints regarding flying saucers and during the past 24 months only one complaint was received, the facts of which were immediately referred to the Air Force.

ACTION:
Since it does not appear that continuation of our yearly
review of the flying saucer situation is warranted, no further
analysis or review of matters coming within this field will be
conducted in the future. Action with respect to any complaints
received, of course, will follow our policy.

Gentlemen: Flying Discs

I qualify myself as a layman, and amateur scientist in my own fields who has read your public documents, "Nuclear Rocket Propulsion," etc. I am also a person who has seen several unidentified flying objects. One of huge saucer shape performed certain feats at incredible speeds, far beyond the power of any propulsion system which we currently use. I am also familiar with the reported sightings of such craft for many centuries and in various places. I am also aware that the connecting link between energy and matter, the proton nucleus of hydrogen, was probably created by the electro-magnetic fusion of radio galaxies in an original electron atmosphere. Quite naturally I have at various times researched pertinent subjects in an attempt to figure out how such interstellar space craft operate. Perhaps I'm like a lot of others who can't see the forest because of the trees. Yet I may have hit upon a workable system capable of being created with our present technology, materials and methods. In the interest of the United States first, I pass these on to you. They are embodied in a treatise upon which I am working titled "The Worlds And You In The Making." I quote:

"Were the unseen passengers of these space craft then borne along on atomic fusion motors which burned elemental matter, hydrogen, from interstellar space? Could they use a hydrogen motor flow sheet which begins with hydrogen intakes and suction compressors into a liquid hydrogen fuel tank? That from this continually unlimited fuel reserve second stage compressors convert the hydrogen into an expanding gas fed into a second semi-ready heater tank, with compressors upon each end to force the semi-ready fuel flow from the tank's center. And into a "pod" of four thermal reactors angled to fire to a central point behind outside thrust plates similar to the feed end of a gaseous cavity reactor? That into this superheated hydrogen gas vortex another thermal reactor fires fissioning uranium vapor thereby creating the heat for controlled hydrogen fusion?

REC-39 62-83894-433

"Or is it possible that hydrogen fusion motors are composed of so simple a thing as the four thermal reactors angled to fire to a central point closely behind the outside

thrust plates. And that into the vastly superheated hydrogen gas vortex side streams of hydrogen are impacted together by accelerator guns to cause controlled fusion? Is it possible that a saucer shaped craft with such motors fore and aft and upon each side could hover, set down and take off upon the downward thrust of the upper exhausting reactors alone and otherwise perform such instant changes in speed and direction as to leave human passengers unaffected by gravity considerations? Obviously these space travelers must have surpassed our own evolutionary stage of development by thousands of years. They were as far ahead of us with their sight-barrier-breaking space craft as our own jet planes are ahead of the Pharaoh boats of five thousand years ago."

All this might boil down to the following concept combinations which involve (1) four thermal reactors fire to one point (2) against an outside thrust plate from behind and similier in modified concept to the feed end of a gaseous cavity reactor, and, (3) into which superheated hydrogen vortex fissioning uranium vapor is fed to cause controlled hydrogen fusion for propulsive power, or into which vortex streams of impacting hydrogen atoms are fired by accelerator guns.

A rough sketch, sufficient to convey the idea might look like this:

The image depicts a conceptual design for a propulsion system, likely for a missile or spacecraft, featuring:

*   **Heated Tank:** A cylindrical tank labeled "heated tank."
*   **Uranium-235 (U²³⁵):** Indicated as a fuel source.
*   **Thermal Reactors:** Multiple reactor units are shown, connected to the heated tank.
*   **Gaseous Cavity Reactor Pattern:** This suggests a specific type of reactor configuration.
*   **Thrust Plate:** A plate designed to generate thrust.
*   **Steering Fins by Release of Pressure:** Fins controlled by the release of pressure for directional control.

In this critical time, and even if the concept only partly works, it may result, militarily, in being able to put an atomic warhead on Moscow in a matter of minutes instead of hours.

Dear Sir;

A research group that I am in is presently engaged in the study of the subject of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), sometimes ludicrously termed "flying saucers".

Since our research takes us into every aspect of the subject, certain rumors and statements appear which we feel justify an examination to the fullest. One such statement is that, certain federal agencies, namely the FBI and CIA, have carried on private investigations of UFOs and/or that such agencies have, at times, worked in conjunction with the Air Force on its own study of the subject. Another such statement is that, agents of the intelligence bureaus (FBI and CIA) have, at times, pres-



-sured private citizens to keep quiet about the "myste
that they saw.

serious objects"
62-83894-4/34

1 JAN 23 964

My group would be very glad if your agency would either confirm or deny the above statements regarding, of coarse, only the FBI and its

agents (a similar letter to this will be written to the CI,
answer will be greatly appreciated.

A). Your
CORRESPONDENCE

NOTE:

A police officer described as sober, dependable, mature and not known to engage in flights of fantasy reported seeing an unidentified flying object rise from the earth with a roar, emitting bluish and orange flames and disappear over a distant mountain. When he reported his observations, representatives of the local law enforcement agencies searched the scene and noted four small irregularly shaped smouldering areas and four regular depressed areas at the site. The unidentified flying object was described as oval shaped; about twenty feet long; with a red insignia; there is no indication in the referenced teletype that Air Force had been advised. Our policy is not to investigate but assure that Air Force is cognizant. Military is investigating and Albuquerque Office is maintaining liaison.

Major CONNER, on 4/27/64, advised that on 4/26/64, he had met ORLANDO GALLEGOS at Santa Fe, New Mexico, and both proceeded to La Madera, New Mexico. to check out GALLEGOS' observations. He stated that at the scene there was still some smoldering material. He noted that there was miscellaneous rubbish in the area and the site may have been a dump at one time. In his opinion, some material, such as a can of paint, could have caught fire and exploded. He also noted that GALLEGOS had an odor of alcohol about him. Major CONNER stated he would advise the FBI, Albuquerque, of any pertinent developments.

It may be noted that New Mexico State Police Sergeant M. S. CHAVEZ and Socorro County Undersheriff JIM LUCKIE on 4/24/64, advised that they answered ZAMORA's radio calls and went to the site quickly. They noted several small burning areas at the site and the indentations. No one else was noted in the area. Officer ZAMORA, a well regarded and capable officer, was noted to be perfectly sober and thoroughly frightened.

SA D. ARTHUR BYRNES, JR. was at Socorro, New Mexico, 4/24/64, and had noted the four irregular burned spots and the four indentations at the site. SA BYRNES immediately advised Captain R. T. HOLDER, Up Range Commander, Stallion Range Center, Socorro, New Mexico. Captain HOLDER, along with Officer ZAMORA and SA BYRNES checked the Socorro site and interviewed Officer ZAMORA at length. Officer ZAMORA's observations were taken in the form of a statement. A copy of this lengthy statement is retained at the Albuquerque FBI Office as well as a small sample of charred material taken at the scene.

An unusual observation made at the Socorro scene was that there appeared to be no "blast" effects. Between the burned spots were unburned areas, including patches of unburned brown range grass.

SUBJECT: LARRY W. BRYANT
NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA
ARTICLE ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
<signature>

## BACKGROUND:

On 5-21-64 the Department of Defense delivered at the Bureau a manuscript by captioned individual entitled "Let's Challenge the UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) Censors." The Department of the Army, according to the transmittal form from the Department of Defense, has no objection to the publication of the article. The FBI's attention was directed to page 6. Also included with the manuscript was a copy of the author's transmittal letter to the Department of the Army stating he would like to know the name, rank/grade, title and office of each person who actually conducts the review of Bryant's article. A review of the article revealed it is a criticism of the Department of Defense's policy with regard to issuing clearances of articles relative to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), particularly when the author is employed by the U. S. Army as in the case of Bryant. The article is in essence a history of Bryant's problems in getting articles published on UFO.

References to the FBI are as follows: On page 2, Bryant indicates he will reveal the role played by the FBI in monitoring UFO research activities of Army civilian employees. On page 6, Bryant refers to his being interviewed on 9-17-63 by Special Agent John S. Castles of our Norfolk Office. Bryant states SA Castles contacted him in response to Bryant's letter of 7-23-63 to the Sheriff of Sussex County, Virginia, requesting UFO sighting data. Bryant alleged that SA Castles inquired about Bryant's letter to the Sussex County Sheriff as well as to a similar letter dated 8-8-63 to the Commander of the Norfolk, Virginia, Naval Base. Bryant claims he asked SA Castles if it was customary for the FBI to question people who expressed an interest in UFO. SA Castles replied in the negative and added that "Since his office was queried by the addressees of the two letters he was just seeking information on which he could write a memorandum for the files." Bryant also states that SA Castles volunteered the following: "If the FBI has any such data (on UFO sightings), it is probably of an intelligence nature and thus would be unavailable to the public and to private individuals."

## INFORMATION IN BUREAU FILES:

Bureau files reveal an inquiry from Bryant to the Director in February, 1959, regarding the investigation of UFO. He was informed the FBI does not investigate matters of this nature/ the jurisdiction of UFO is within the Department of the Air Force.

Re: LARRY W. BRYANT

By letter dated 9/17/63, Bryant advised he had been interviewed on that date by SA Castles (Senior Resident Agent, Newport News, Virginia, assigned Norfolk Office, EOD 2/2/48, GS-13) regarding Bryant's interest in reports of sightings of UFO. According to Bryant, Castles stated he was contacting him in connection with his inquiries and that he intended to prepare "a memorandum for the files." Bryant requested a copy of SA Castles memorandum. Prior to responding to Bryant, the Norfolk Office advised as follows: Bryant has directed a voluminous amount of correspondence to military officials in the area and as Bryant was employed by the Department of the Army, Fort Eustis, Virginia, the G-2 Section of the Second Army, Fort Meade, Maryland, was conducting a background check of Bryant. The Norfolk Office was in receipt of several letters directed to other government agencies which were subsequently forwarded to the Norfolk Office. This included a letter to the Commanding Officer, Headquarters, Aircraft Fleet, Atlantic U. S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, 6/15/60; Commanding Officer, Cape Charles Air Force Station, Cape Charles, Virginia, 8/7/58; Commander, U. S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, 8/8/63; Sheriff's Office, Sussex County, postmarked Fort Eustis, Virginia, 7/23/63.

Bryant was interviewed on 9/7/63 by SA Castles in order to obtain back-ground information concerning him in order to reply to the correspondence from the Sussex County Sheriff's Office and the U. S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, mentioned above. At the conclusion of the interview, Bryant wanted to know what would be done about the information he furnished SA Castles at which time he was told that the information he furnished would be made a matter of record in FBI files.

Bryant was subsequently advised by in-absence letter of 9/27/63 that the confidential nature of our files would preclude complying with his request (the copy of SA Castles' memorandum concerning his interview with Bryant.)

It appears that the reference to the FBI on page 6 of Bryant's manuscript is not completely true. However, it has the effect of leaving the wrong impression; the FBI was not investigating Bryant but was merely interviewing him in order to respond to inquiries directed to us from other agencies. SA Castles did not interview Bryant merely for the purpose of writing "a memorandum for the files" but that his interview of Bryant would be made a matter of record in FBI files. Also, the phraseology used by Bryant regarding SA Castles' reference to the confidential nature of FBI files could be misleading. These points should be brought to the attention of the Department of Defense.

## RECOMMENDATION:

That Bryant's manuscript on UFO be returned to the Department of Defense by our liaison representative with that agency at which time that agency can be informed that the FBI does not agree with Bryant's portrayal of his interview by the FBI or his misrepresentation of the Bureau's role in investigating of UFO. However, the Department of Defense should not attribute these comments to the FBI and we are deferring to their judgments as to authorizing publication of the article. 6-3-64 Baisley

# LET'S CHALLENGE THE UFO CENSORS

Jem SRA

by

Larry W. Bryant

Before you see this article in print, it will have been submitted to appropriate Defense Department authorities for security review and clearance. Why? Because, under U. S. Army regulations, its author is in duty bound to have its contents examined for adherence to accuracy, propriety, and security. And the process applies not just to this article, but to any others he might write on the military aspect of Unidentified Flying Objects.

While employed as a Department of the Army civilian, I have been writing for the past six years unofficial critiques of the Federal Government's role in UFO research. I have confronted and withstood the obvious objections to my writing on such a controversial subject (e.g., "biting the hand that feeds you"), and I can only say to my detractors: "Someone must do it. Someone must challenge the UFO censors, assuming they exist." Proof of their existence has been offered by at least two of my previously cleared manuscripts and by one that failed to hurdle the review-clearance obstacle. As to exactly how much longer I can speak out freely for what I believe without bringing

3578

62.83894-439

ENCLOSURE

the censors directly upon my head is your guess.

Meantime, if this gets cleared, you may share in this, my latest quasi-official challenge. You will share by becoming informed of the existing policies and methodology of the Defense Department's public information program -- that part of the program which covers the review-clearance of manuscripts written for personal publication by the department's employees. You will share in my evaluation of the roles played by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Army's intelligence body (G-2) in monitoring the UFO research activities of an Army civilian employee.



We return first to 1958, to Fort Monroe, Va., headquarters of the U. S. Continental Army Command (USCONARC), where I was employed for two years. As part of my early interest in aerial phenomena, I had an unofficial notice published in the Fort Monroe Daily Bulletin for September 22, 1958. The notice requested USCONARC personnel to report their UFO sightings to me for analysis. It developed that fulfillment of my request would be in violation of two classified Army directives covering the official processing

-2-

of such reports. During my ensuing interrogation by two Army Counter-Intelligence Corps members at Fort Monroe, I became fully aware that UFO's, or flying saucers, were being treated with grave respect by our military intelligence experts; so, I decided to reveal their official, behind-the-scenes attitude to the public, doing so in a lengthy report issued in 1960. The report ¹ had taken five months to make the rounds of the review-clearance mill, but was finally cleared for publication in February 1960.

Despite a subsequent admonition from the Civilian Personnel Officer at Fort Monroe to give up my campaign of seeking the truth about UFO secrecy, I have continued to amass evidence against the censors. And the censors still persist in making themselves (known) to me. It is certainly a vicious cycle of verbal pushing and pulling, with the victor of the conflict being not really myself or the censors but you readers, who represent the general public.

D

*

The next episode concerns a draft newspaper "letter to the editor" that I wrote in the spring of 1959, and which I duly submitted to USCONARC for review and clearance. USCONARC declined to clear the manuscript, asserting, among other things, the following nonconcurrences:

-3-

(1) "The 'official censorship, ridicule and silence' as stated are not true, nor is the statement 'conceal vital UFO data'. Instead it would be more correct to state that the policy of the Department of Defense is not to release UFO data not substantiated by fact.

ment? DA

(2) "Inference is made of chastism in efforts to obtain information about UFO when in fact the control of such information follows an established policy. The Department of Defense must maintain such controls to insure that data released is based on fact."

(3) "Attempts to extract UFO data from this headquarters /USCONARC/ cannot be met. Suggest contact be made with . . . the U. S. Air Force. Any matter received should be considered privileged information and not for release to the public.

(4) "The statements contained herein are not an attempt at 'censorship'. The Army encourages its . . . personnel to speak and write, as long as they stick to the facts, do not reveal classified information, and meet standards of propriety." 2

*

Shortly after I transferred from Fort Monroe to the U. S. Army Transportation School at Fort Eustis, Va., I again pulled my end of our tug of war. I wanted to squelch rumors that UFO's were secret terrestrial weapons. Pursuing this angle, I wrote privately to the Combat Development agency at Eustis on March 13, 1960, and asked whether

-4-

they had been engaged in producing or testing a saucer-like craft during the 1952 sighting crisis. I never got an answer; instead the post G-2, Col. Frank O. Adams, summoned me to his office and instructed me to explain the motives for my inquiry.

After assuring Col. Adams that I had not intended to undermine local security measures, but had merely posed an honest question, he recommended I be more prudent in the future. Here, we mustn't reproach Col. Adams too severely, because his job was to abide by the military intelligence axiom of "never underestimate a potential enemy." This axiom no doubt inspired the following Eustis policy, a policy which was probably the basis for Col. Adams's investigation:

"A great part of the information sought by people who do not have the best interests of the United States at heart is obtained from unclassified sources through apparently innocent requests. Any unusual request for information concerning the installation, our personnel, or other data, should be brought to the attention of the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2." 3

* * *

You may see now that the sources as well as the fruits of my UFO research are subject to scrutiny by all interested authorities. This fact became even clearer several months

-5-

ago when I was finishing the groundwork for my recently published article, "A Hard Look at UFO News Management," 4 which was cleared by the Defense Department on October 10, 1963.

Here is how it began. On July 23, 1963, I wrote to the Sheriff of Sussex County, Va., requesting any UFO sighting data that he might possess. While on duty at Fort Eustis the afternoon of September 17, I received a 10-minute visit from local FBI agent John S. Castles. Not only did Mr. Castles inquire about the Sussex letter, but also about a similar letter I sent on August 8, 1963, to the Commander of the Norfolk (Va.) Naval Base. Upon furnishing Mr. Castles the information he desired on my Civil Service position and my UFO writings, I asked if it were customary for the FBI to interrogate anybody who expresses an interest in UFO's. He said no, that since his office was queried by the addressees of the two letters he was just seeking information on which he could write a "memorandum for the files." Mr. Castles volunteered the following: "If the FBI has any such data /on UFO sightings/, it is probably of an intelligence nature and thus would be unavailable to the public and to private individuals."

Again, the "authorities" have shown a serious, persuasive concern about the writings of a private citizen on objects

6

which supposedly do not warrant such attention -- objects which, officially, are identifiable for the most part as natural aerial phenomena or some other familiar, harmless manifestation.

How can the over-all review-clearance system be manipulated by the UFO censors? Take as an authoritative answer the following excerpt from a letter written to me by a local USAF official:

". . . Chapter 4, Section B, paragraph 2a(7), of Air Force Manual 190-4, 6 June 1960, says in part: 'When the . . . manuscript concerns military subjects, national, or foreign affairs, it will be submitted to SAF-OI to review for accuracy, propriety . . . and to obtain final clearance from the Department of Defense. This policy applies to Air Force active duty personnel, retired personnel, civilian employees, and members of the civilian components.' SAF-OI is the symbol for the Office of Information, Secretary of the Air Force."

"Another directive, Air Force Regulation 200-2, governs activities as they relate to Unidentified Flying Objects. This regulation says only that base Information Officers may examine manuscripts which are submitted to them to be sure they are factual and accurate. The same groups of persons as indicated above, according to this regulation, may not use Air Force material on Unidentified Flying Objects for their writings." 5

Quite a challenge, isn't it? But as long as you and I are willing to meet it, there is still the hope that the censors will admit defeat and capitulate. You may be asking yourself, "If the censors do exist, then why is Bryant allowed to continue publishing his manuscripts?" That has been my question, too, and the only solution I can offer is that freedom of information has yet to perish entirely in America.

The individual interviewed was a police officer of the Socorro, New Mexico, Police Department. No additional investigation was conducted by this Bureau with regard to that incident.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

Again thank you for your letter of August 31, 1959.

The II0UFO has been investigating UFO and flying saucer sightings since August 1958. We have a State Representative in most of the 50 states, and in seven foreign countries. We have a Scientific Panel of known scientist and a Technical Advisory Board of known saucer researchers.

I have received special authorization from the Department of the Air Force in Washington to visit Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio for the purpose of viewing the Air Force Files on their saucer investigation since 1948. Among the sightings we are interested in is one recent one, Soccorro, New Mexico, April 25, 1964. This sighting was observed by several different people in different towns in New Mexico. According to the AP, it was stated that the FBI was investigating this sighting.

Would it be possible to obtain the results of your investigation? I was appreciate any information you could give us.

Thank you. Trusting to hear from you in the near future.

Dear Mr. Hoover:



Enclosed with this letter is a sheet of condensed facts concerning two supposed visitors from outer space, which is taken from Harold T. Wilkins book "Flying Saucers On The Attack." Since the F. B. I. was reportedly involved in the investigation I would like to know if the story concerning the supposed visit is true, a possibility, or just plain science fiction.

If the story is true and/or if the F. B. I. has a report on this case in its files, I would appreciate a copy of that report. If it is impossible to forward me a complete copy of the report please send a summary of the report.

I realize this story sounds fantastic but I would appreciate a reply, since it is actually suppose to have occurred.

FACTS concerning two mysterious visitors from outer space as reported in Harold T. Wilkins "Flying Saucers On The Attack," published by Citadel Press (New York) 1954.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Concerns two men hired on or about January 20, 1953 in Los Angeles, California by official in attorneys office concerned with tracing lost and missing persons (legal inquiry bureau).

THEIR (visitors) STORY: They came from another planet about the mid-
dle of December 1952. They landed on Mojove (or Mohove) Desert in a
small flying saucer, 200 miles east of Los Angeles. They learned to
speak English by listening (presumably in outer space?) to broadcasts
of radio and television.

CHARACTERISTICS: a) 6 foot 6 inches in height; b) emaciated; c) not well clothed; d) bluish-green in complexion; e) prick ears; and f) extremely successful investigators.

ADDITIONAL FACTS: One of the above mentioned two men leaned over steel top of filing cabinet and with his curiously curved hand, made an indentation in the steel at least 1/2 inch deep. The indented steel was sent to a metallurgical chemist, who said that, to produce such indentation, would require a force of some 2,000 lbs. to the inch. He also added that traces of more than a dozen unknown elements were found in the dents.

CONCLUDING REMARKS: a) It was reported that the F.B.I. sent several agents to investigate these two men, but by the time the agents arrived the two visitors from outer space had disappeared (in mid-February 1953.)

b) The steel filing cabinet is suppose to be lock-ed in a vault.

c) The story is suppose to have been related to the author, Wilkins, by a Los Angeles reporter, who wished to remain anonymous.

The above is a condensed version of the facts presented in an article, which appeared in the apendix of the previously mentioned Harold T. Wilkins' book.

In response to your inquiry, the FBI has not conducted an investigation as you mentioned inasmuch as this would not come within our investigative jurisdiction. The presence of an Agent was simply to determine whether or not any violation may have occurred in which the FBI would have an interest, and for no other reason.



While I would like to be of assistance to you, the files of the FBI must be maintained as confidential in accordance with regulations of the Department of Justice and are available for official use only.

Re: Unidentified Flying Objects.

Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Washington 25, D.C.

The image contains handwritten text "FLYING SAUCERS" underlined. The text surrounding the figure indicates it is part of a communication addressed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Dear Sirs,

Would you be so kind as to advise me whether or not it is the usual procedure for agents of the FBI to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects which have been seen on the ground.

In several recent cases, agents of the FBI have been present when USAF investigators from local AFBs in the vicinity of the landing site have carried out their investigations. Would you also advise me whether it would be possible to obtain copies of reports made by agents of their findings. One case which I do have a personal interest in was the La Madera April 26, 1964 case where a Orlando Gallegos, age 35, of La Madera and Santa Fe, New Mexico, reported to Officer Marvin Romero that he had observed an unidentified object approximately 300 feet from his home. The following day, Agent Byrnes of the FBI and Major Connors of Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque inspected the site. Can you advise me of Agent Byrnes findings at the site?

(1) Arthur, JR.

I realise that your department is probably more concerned with federal crime, however, I cannot understand why it has concerned itself with cases which are normally undertaken by the USAF as a matter of National Defence.

I am writing to ask about Flying Saucers reading material that is being sent through the mail. I am wondering if some of this material might be communist inspired, or is it alright to receive. If you would please send me a list that might be subversive I would appreciate it-since I certainly do not want to receive any such communists inspired material.

Dear Mr. Snigier:

Your letter of April 11th has been received.

With respect to your inquiry, sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects are not a matter within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI. Inasmuch as your communication is of interest to another governmental agency, I am referring a copy of it to the Office of Special Investigations, Department of the Air Force.

NOTE: Snigier is not identifiable in Bufiles. Joseph F. Perry of Grand Blanc, Michigan, was contacted by Bureau Agents from our Detroit Office at his request in March, 1960, regarding photographs he had taken of what he believed to be unidentified flying objects. These photographs were turned over to the Office of Special Investigations of the United States Air Force by our Detroit Office. Perry reported to the local paper that the FBI was conducting an investigation and it was necessary for this Bureau to straighten the record with that newspaper. Perry was advised that we had furnished his photographs to the Air Force and he subsequently wrote to the Director in April, 1960, indicating he was looking forward to the completion of the Air Force analysis of his photographs and their return to him. A copy of his letter was referred to the Air Force for a reply to him.

Dear Sir:

It is the responsibility of the Air Force's Project Blue Book to investigate and analyze UFO sightings. At time local or state law enforcement officials have been requested to make investigations of such cases.

After a number of recent sightings in Rehoboth, Mass., Police Chief Oscar Berghman announced that the FBI had questioned at least two of the witnesses.

I am also aware of similar past cases. The color photographs taken at Grand Blanc, Michigan by Joe Perry, amateur astronomer, on February 13, 1960 is one past case. After notifying the Air Force he was referred to the FBI and an investigation was conducted by two agents from the Flint office. The photographs were subsequently furnished to the Air Force for analysis.

What is the FBI's policy with respect to this matter of investigation of such cases? Is there an official FBI regulation pertaining to FBI UFO investigatory policy, and if so, I request a copy. If this is not possible could you please inform me as to the regulation number of such documents. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Paul G. Snigier

Just recently I bought a copy of the magazine, "Real." This issue had a great deal of pictures about unidentified flying objects and it also had a photo of two F.B.I. agents leading a silver-clad man, about one and a half to two feet tall, down an american street. I know this sounds extraordinary, but this is what it had. The photo was probably faked but I wanted to be doubly sure. Please write me and tell me if there is any truth to this photo. Also this photo was first published by some odd chance in a Cologne, Germany newspaper.
