This Central Intelligence Agency routing slip, dated 14 July 1976, is addressed to the Deputy Chief of OD&E. The writer notes that the recipient mentioned a personal interest in UFO phenomena at a recent meeting. It adds that DCD had been receiving UFO material from Agency S&T sources doing related research. The slip forwards attached material thought to have possible FI or community interest, including work by a doctor whose name is redacted. It offers further discussion or says the material may be destroyed.

As you may recall, I mentioned my own interest in the subject as well as the fact that DCD had been receiving UFO related material from many of our S&T sources who are presently conducting related research. These scientists include some who have been associated with the Agency for years and whose credentials remove them from the "nut" variety.
3. The attached material came to my attention through these sources and it appears to have some legitimate FI or community interest potential.
4. The work being carried out by Dr.
