This Central Intelligence Agency dispatch, dated 21 November 1960, was released in 2006 under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. It reports a source's trip to Salzburg about a group of Hungarians linked to Andreas Zako. The source said the group's headquarters is in Innsbruck and that the French seem to have cut Zako's budget. It also says the group was selling information to any buyer and working in the black market. In this document "UFO" is the name of the Hungarian group and has nothing to do with unidentified flying objects.
