Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency document, dated 5 January 1956 and titled Report of Unidentified Flying Objects, reproduces excerpts from a letter received from a Belgian correspondent in early November 1955. The writer asks for prices and delivery information on a small 60x telescope made for sportsmen. They say Americans will not reveal what flying saucers really are, and they want the telescopes for their own observation group. The letter adds that the objects are being seen more and more over Belgium. The OCR text is badly garbled.
