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 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 Plint 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. 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. 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 referred to in the letterhead memo.

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

reportedly advised the that he is the 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. 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.

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.

Re:<empty>

On April 17, 1960, a lecture was given by  at Philpps 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
, one of which
meets monthly at the , Lakewood,
Colorado, whose 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 gave a
lecture which was more of a religious-economics lecture
rather than one of unidentified flying objects.

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:<empty>

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 "flaning 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,

[x]



RE:



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.

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

- 3 -

RE: <empty>

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, [REDACTED] 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, [REDACTED] 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.

Dear President Eisenhower:

As I can't find out any information from anyone, I am writing to you.

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 re- 5

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

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

"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."

JOE DID not think anything of the photograph until customers in his restaurant

The agents look 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.

# Film of Flying Saucer Up in Air

By Allan R. Wilhelm
The scene is a very good address on Pennsylvanla 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.

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 docs 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 |

r

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."

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.

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.

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 , 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.

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, C-5514-11

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.

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?

Dear Sirt

I am extremely interested in the "  " 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 [REDACTED]. He called the organization [REDACTED]. And, during his study of the saucer mystery [REDACTED] ran across something important. This information was evidently the solution to the mystery for in 1953 [REDACTED] stated bluntly, "I knew what the saucers are." Then, "three men in black suits" silenced him. Even today [REDACTED] 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."

C

I have some very important information concerning this "dreadful underground menace" that I would like to discuss with you 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

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 "monse" really "exists."

I certainly will be looking forward in hearing from you.

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,  brought negatives of the photographs he allegedly took at that time into the Phoenix Office and he was advised by SA  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  left the negatives which were in turn turned over to , military representative.

On April 17, 1950,  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  since their clips showed that he had been talked to back in 1947.  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  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  that with this understanding  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.

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 SOC.

:

By letter 9-3-47 from Headquarters Air Defense Command addressee 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).

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 (62-83E94-367).

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.

ACTIC:

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.

# 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.

RE: Unidentified Flying Object,

Torrington, Conn.,

5 December 1957

Dear Sir:

Enclosed is a copy of a letter from a Delmaine H. Oveson, who identifies himself as Director of Operations, Electronics Service Unit 4, Roseau, Minnesota. This letter requests information concerning the reported sighting of an unconventional Aerial Object on or about 5 December 1957 at Torrington, Connecticut.

This letter was furnished the Office of Special Investigations by the Ground Observer Corps (GOC) Coordinator for the State of Connecticut. That individual has advised that an alleged sighting of unidentified flying object near Torrington, Connecticut, was reported on or about 5 December 1957, but that neither he nor the addressee have any knowledge of the author of the enclosed letter.

Information has been received from the U. S. Army, and Air Force
Postal Service that no military units are located at Roseau, Minnesota.
Therefore, this matter is being referred to your Bureau for any action
you deem appropriate.

Advice if any information of interest to the Air Force is developed by your Bureau in this matter will be appreciated.

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.

DONALD E. KEYICE

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 possess documents concerning such a plan by Hitler which indication was complet. 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: Defense document re reporting intelligence sightings.

ACTION:
That the attached suggested letter be forwarded to Keyhoe. In
view of Air Force interest, copy of incoming with copy of our

# 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 place at The Country Club, that summer vacation to help pay her college expenses. I would go after her at midnight then wait until she was ready to go home. One night right soon after we left the highway we noticed this moving object a little ahead of us along the side of the road. It had tiny lights blinking on and off and for just a second when I/O the lights were off we could see a dark moving object or shape use a better word. There was absolutely no noise whatsoever but I realized at once there were human beings guiding it. I was sure.

10/21/9581
MAR 32





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 staid just above the tree and a little ahead of us showing they were very intelligent people because had they staid 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 me and down much lower. They were motionless and noiseless no motors at all. We stared at each other a long time, the thought 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 thin 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 right 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. Then 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 everynight 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 fire plate it warned 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 lid put out The Cekhart Truther
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. I suspected 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 then flashlight was a ray light and they could have killed him had they wanted to. He came to enough to pull himself into a more comfortable position before

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.

I suppose to them read it would sound like a sung song of phrases. 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 & 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 & burned it up. I feel terrible about it & 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- game? the tree 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 did two years ago so I rented the farm and my daughters and I live in Elkhart Indiana. 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

"If anyone has seen any unidentified flying objects--known also as flying saucers--or knows anyone who has seen them since January 1st, 1957, please contact us immediately, giving full names and addresses of the witnesses to these sightings.

"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. And each state, province or region will have its own filter center which will serve as a receiving station for all UFO reports and other associated data, a distribution point for material from headquarters, and as a general secretary for ICAFF.

"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. Persons with movie and still cameras are particularly needed, for the emphasis is on photographic data, despite the fact that sightings with binoculars and telescopes, sound detector and ham radio stations are also very important in the process of our research.

"To All Concerned:

"If anyone has seen any unidentified flying objects--known also as flying saucers--or knows anyone who has seen them since January 1st, 1957, please contact us immediately, giving full names and addresses of the witnesses to these sightings."

"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. And each state, province or region will have its own filter center which will serve as a receiving station for all UFO reports and other associated data, a dis- tribution point for material from headquarters, and as a general secretary for ICARF.

"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. Persons with movie and still cameras are particularly needed, for the emphasis is on photographic data, despite the fact that sightings with binoculars and telescopes, sound detector and ham radio stations are also very important in the process of our research.

"All persons interested in setting up observer posts who can devote from one to three hours a day on skywatch, and who can be relied upon to have their cameras loaded and ready to photograph these objects should immediately contact us for full information. Adult Skywatch clubs, high school groups, science clubs, industrial groups and individuals in general are all particularly asked to join us in our search for the answer to the UFOs.

DEAR EDITOR:

THE ENCLOSED NOTICE IS SELF-EXPLANATORY. WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THIS PUBLIC SERVICE IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, WHICH THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRIES SO PROUDLY DEFEND AND UPHOLD.

AS A CIVILIAN BODY OF INVESTIGATORS, WE HOPE TO UNRAVEL THE SNARLED MESS THAT SHROUDS THE U.F.O. QUESTION, AND WITH THE HELP OF THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE PUBLIC, WHERE CAN WE FAIL?

WE WILL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WILL PUBLISH THE ENCLOSED APPEAL ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER, IN A CONSPICUOUS ENOUGH MANNER THAT NO ONE WILL FAIL TO NOTICE IT. IT IS THE PUBLIC WE MUST DEPEND UPON TO GET THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED, AND WITH THIS CO-OPERATION WE ARE CERTAIN THAT WE CAN FIND THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE OF THE "FLYING SAUCERS."

IF A FILTER CENTER HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN YOUR STATE OR PROVINCE, THIS FORM LETTER WILL CARRY ITS ADDRESS WHICH SHOULD REPLACE THE HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS GIVEN ON THE ENCLOSED "Public Notice." IF NO SUCH FILTER CENTER ADDRESS IS GIVEN, THEN THE ORIGINAL HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS SHOULD BE USED.

WE WISH TO THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE US IN THIS RESPECT. LATER ESTABLISHED FILTER CENTER ADDRESSES WILL BE SENT TO YOU FOR PUBLIC ATTENTION IN THE EVENT OF UNUSUAL SIGHTINGS. THAT MAY COME TO YOUR ATTENTION.

TO ALL CONCERNED:

IF ANYONE HAS SEEN ANY UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS--KNOWN ALSO AS FLYING SAUCERS--OR KNOWS ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN THEM SINCE JANUARY 1ST, 1957, PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY, GIVING FULL NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF THE WITNESSES TO THESE SIGHTINGS.

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. PERSONS WITH MOVIE AND STILL CAMERAS ARE PARTICULARLY NEEDED, FOR THE EMPHASIS IS ON PHOTOGRAPHIC DATA, DESPITE THE FACT THAT SIGHTINGS WITH BINOCULARS AND TELESCOPES, SOUNU DETECTOR AND HAM RADIO STATIONS ARE ALSO VERY IMPORTANT IN THE PROCESS OF OUR RESEARCH.

ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN SETTING UP OBSERVER POSTS WHO CAN DEVOTE FROM ONE TO THREE HOURS A DAY ON SKYWATCH, AND WHO CAN BE RELIED UPON TO HAVE THEIR CAMERAS LOADED AND READY TO PHOTOGRAPH THESE OBJECTS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT US FOR FULL INFORMATION.

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.



145

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 51 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 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.

SUBJECT: REPORTS OF FLYING_DISCS FOREIGN MISCELLANEOUS

The following information is submitted as of interest to the Bureau in the event reports of flying discs are still desired.

The Havana daily newspaper "Diario de la Marina" November 12, 1957, carried a dispatch datelined November 11, 1957, at Pinar del Rio, Cuba, reporting that  and  who had just arrived in that town from the Matahambre Mines in Pinar del Rio Province, claimed that they had seen a flying disc in the shape of a man's hat hovering over the general area of Matahambre for several minutes. They claimed that this disc was larger than ordinary airplanes normally seen in that area and that it was completely silent in its flight. They said that it disappeared at a very high speed towards the sea. There was no further descriptive information furnished in this newspaper article. It is noted that Matahambre is located approximately 90 miles to the west of Havana. No other reports corroborating the above were received and no inquiry has been made by this office.

SUBJECT: WHITE HOUSE INQUIRY RE
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS (UFO)

Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science and Technology, White House, telephonically contacted me today to inquire as to the Bureau's procedure for handling information received from the public or otherwise, relating to sightings of UFOs. He advised that Jody Powell of the President's staff has raised the question as to whether or not there is any coordination within the Executive Branch relating to information concerning this subject. He stated that the U.S. Air Force had closed their investigation of these matters several years ago and currently does nothing but refer such information to appropriate local authorities.

I advised him that as far as the FBI is concerned there appears to be no conceivable jurisdiction for us to conduct any inquiries upon receipt of information relating to a UFO sighting and, in the absence of some investigative jurisdiction based upon the information furnished, that information would be referred to the Department of the Air Force without any action being taken by the Bureau.

He thanked me for the information and stated that if any further contact was necessary he would call back.

Dear Mr. Malmfeldt:

This office recently received a public inquiry regarding UFOs, referred to us from the Bureau. As the inclosed fact sheet indicates, the Air Force's "Project Blue Book" investi- gation of UFOs was terminated on December 17, 1969, and all related documentation was turned over to the National Archives and Records Service.

The inquirer referred to us has been apprised of these events. Hopefully, the inclosed fact sheet will be of help in responding to any future inquiries on this subject.

CORRESPONDENCE

There are a number of universities and professional scientific organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which have considered UFO phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. In addition, a list of private organizations interested in aerial phenomena may be found in Gale's Encyclopedia of Associations (Edition 8, Vol I, -pp. 432-3). Such timely review of the situation by private groups insures that sound evidence will not be overlooked by the scientific community.

# UFO FACT SHEET

On December 17, 1969 the Secretary of the Air Force announced the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force program for the investigation of UFOs.

The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;" a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences; past UFO studies; and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during the past two decades.

As a result of these investigations and studies, and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles.

With the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force regulation establishing and controlling the program for investigating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. All documentation regarding the former Blue Book investigation has been permanently transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Service, 8th and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20408, and is available for public review and analysis.

Attached for your information is the Project Blue Book sighting summary for the period 1947-1969. Also included is a listing of UFO-related materials currently available.

Since the termination of Project Blue Book, no evidence has been presented to indicate that further investigation of UFOs by the Air Force is warranted. In view of the considerable Air Force commitment of resources in the past, and the extreme pressure on Air Force funds at this time, there is no likelihood of renewed Air Force involvement in this area.

Dear Sir:
Flying Saucers

On September 17, 1963, Mr. , an FBI agent of the Newport News, Va. contingent, visited me at my place of employment (Ft. Eustis, Va.) to interview me as to my interest in the subject of unidentified flying objects (UFO's). I understand that Mr.  prepared a formal report of that interview.

Since President Nixon recently has expressed his intention to assure that the privacy and civil liberties of individual citizens receive the protection they deserve under our form of government, it is in the spirit of that assurance that I respectfully request that you send me a copy of Mr.  report along with a copy of all other documents in your files pertaining to my activities in

the UFO-research field.

Dear Sirs:

In approximately seven months or January, 1972, certain copies of top-secret documents shall be sent to the New York Times as well as two other newspapers. These documents are related to and will be an ostentation of the involvement of the pentagon in the controversial "Unidentified Flying Objects" or "Flying Saucer" subject. It will show that not only the U.S. Air Force was involved in UFO resea but the other military branches as well.

Analysis and the actual conclusions of the classic UFO cases shall be reveal
This shall be accomplished by zeroxed documents and photographs that General
Wolfe had reviewed when he was head of the Army's UFO support program in the

Dear Sir,
FLYING SAUCERS

Just out of curiosity, if a person were to stumble across, build, or invent, a, shall we say, central drive unit that would power a flying saucer without the need of an exhaust or outward thrust that jets need, and I don't mean a fan or anything like that, But an engine like thing that could be placed in a completely sealed craft and would hang suspended in air or travel at speeds beyond man's comprehension, would it be considered top secret or anything? Also what should a person do with it? 62-83891-4

An answer to this letter would be greatly appreciated by me.

Dear Sirs,
Our club is very interested in the study of Unidentified Flying Objects. We were studying a magazine called UFO'S A Pictorial and on one of the pages there was a picture of a supposedly man from outer space who was being held by two men. Above the picture it stated the the two men were FBI agents who had captured this man and were walking down an American street. It had also stated that the picture had first been published in an XXXXX German newspaper. There was no other additional information. We would appreciate it if you would send us a letter telling us whet -her this is true or untrue. Could you please send us the information.

By letter dated January 26, 1965, Mr.  was informed that such matters did not come within our investigative jurisdiction. (62-83894-442)

On November 26, 1966, Mr.  again wrote the FBI stating that the response to his earlier letter had been destroyed in a recent fire in his home and asking whether FBI policy concerning investigation of UFO's remained unchanged. His letter was written on a new letterhead containing the same address and the same reference to membership in the

Dear Sirs;

There currently are rumors over the grapevine and in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's. It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officer and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are reported to have attempted to run down witnesses of UFO sightings, made disturbing almost macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestrial craft or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken picture of several homes where UFO witnesses lived.

Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or can y refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions?

this information will help settle some disturbing questions the readers of my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can fully accept these rumours as facts. I need more information.

Any information you supply can ease the worries of people who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky may portend the visit of a mysterious visitor.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

December 7, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed.

I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover informed me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be forwarded to them, the C.A.B.

In the month of March, 1965, the C.A.B., released a report that this' accident and cause was due to a lightning strike.

I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. , Director Community and Congressional Relations.

Upon reading the Official C.A.B. report on this accident and also this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have missed the point completely.

I claimed that the object which I seen was laying air mines and that this aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines.

To substantiate my claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line 24"inclusive of this report File #1-0015. Boeing 707-121 N709PA Pan American World Airways, Inc., near Elkton, Maryland, December 8, 1963.

Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows:

(Metal splatters on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer were identified by spectrographic analysis as being formed from two different aluminum alloys. However, these alloys could not be identified since the chemical composition of the deposits did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to 4 degrees outboard.)

On July 18, 1964, I made another observation, the details of which I sent to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. (This sighting was Astronomical not a man made object), a copy of their return letter is enclosed.

Somehow both of these observations had something in common, the color. I proceeded to experiment and have arrived at the following conclusions, after several hundred experiments had taken place.

I have bought books on Astronomy and also books on Flying Saucers. I know that this object was not astronomical in any way nor was it a Flying Saucer.

This object was a cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a Meteor or as a Flying Saucer.

However, this missle failed to operate as planned that is how I was able to see the complete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the government. I also know why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. My experiments proved this.

Thru my experiments I have been able to determine the following:

1. Where they get the tremendous speed from.

2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion.

3. Appearing to oscillate about their vertical axis.

4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust.

5. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions.

6. Different colors they have.

7. Pulsating light.-Luminous appearance.

8. Different forms and shape.

•

These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South Americas by Russia. Anyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities.

Russia is well aware of this fact and has capi' lized upon this fact. They have in this way been able to penetrate our Radar System undetected.

To conclude:

The present situation can be blamed upon the various governmental agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who have reported these sightings.

Now we are about to pay with 60,000,000 American lives or more.
"Some price".

Our one hope is that Russia and China will go to war against one another. This then will give us time to created an effective and efficient Radar system that cannot be penetrated.

I am not a Prophet of Doom, just an American Citizen who is concerned about the future of America.

Sincerely yours.

Dear Mr.

The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes called a "fireball" or a "bolide". Almost all very bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments of asteroids. The direction of motion of your meteor is consistent with that sort of orbit. A good many bright meteors strike the earth each day, but most go unnoticed. We have received another report of the same meteor from Wilmington, Delaware.

:

I am sending your observation to the Moonwatch Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for analysis of visual observations of bright meteors. Since it is very rarely possible for the professional astronomer to observe these meteors, most of what is known about them depends on this sort of lucky chance.

Sincerely yours,

DALLAS, TEXAS
OCTOBER 9, 1967

A young white female, who refused to give her name, appeared at the Dallas FBI Office on October 9, 1967. She stated she is interested in Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and has received a quantity of information concerning beings from outer space. She stated she will not reveal her identity as she would feel like a fool if this information is not true. She stated if it is true, however, she will meet with interested officials and furnish all the information she has, provided nothing is done to endanger her safety.

She stated in July, 1967, she met a being from another planet who had assumed earthly form. He gave her certain information, then he was picked up and departed from the earth on August 21, 1967. She stated she then received messages from non-earthly sources in a manner she refused to discuss. She stated these sources told her of the following:

(1) An antimissile missile was fired at a UFO over Africa on May 22, 1962, but the UFO was protected by its "force field."

(2) A UFO was detected 22,000 miles from earth by radar about August 6, 1967.

(3) A UFO was detected over Antarctica August 20, 1967.

1:

(4) A UFO was detected over the "Dewline" in the past week and was shot down, and beings from outer space are trying to recover it.

Informant would furnish no further details. She stated if this information is true, she will know other information

SHÉ received is true, and will furnish full details. This will include information regarding the destruction of a moon explorer vehicle by beings from outer space, and how those beings shot down the Russian Cosmonaut.

She stated she fears for her life if it becomes known she contacted officials, as persons who saw UFOs have died mysteriously in the past. She stated if Air Force officials want to contact her she can be reached by a message to a telephone number she has given an FBI Agent, and she will meet officials at the Dallas FBI Office only.
