Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency release is filed as a note from Strong to Page about the Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, and it is nearly illegible. The readable part is a letter from CIA Legislative Counsel John S. Warner to Representative Gordon H. Scherer. It answers a constituent's question about a UFO photograph taken in Brazil, says the Air Force has primary responsibility for UFO investigations, and says the Agency has no further information. The rest of the text is garbled OCR that mentions Dr. Robertson.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
Honorable Gordon H. Scherer House of Representatives Washington 25. D.C.
Dear Mr. Scherer: $ ^{2} $
In your letter of 24 August you forwarded a copy of a letter from Mrs. Catherine Carter Golden of Cincinnati in which she discussed the subject of unidentified flying objects. Mrs. Golden seemed particularly interested in the pictures taken in Brazil and shown on the Dave Garroway show.
The photograph referred to by Mrs. Golden was taken by a free-lance photographer. Contrary to her information, this photograph was not developed in the presence of persons other than the photographer.
Mrs. Golden has corresponded with the Department of State and the Air Force for some time on the general subject of unidentified flying objects. The Department of the Air Force has primary responsibility for investigating information pertaining to UFO's. Mrs. Golden recently contacted the State Department on the subject of the alleged Brazilian sighting and her query was referred to the Department of the Air Force whose reply is attached. This Agency has no information other than that which has already been provided the Air Force on this subject.
## Sincerely.
SIGNEM
John S. Warner Legislative Counsel
