Dow of Goffstown, New Hampshire, who had asked whether the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America was backed by communists. Her enclosed July 1966 issue of the AFSCA journal is also in the file. Later items are a 1977 Air Force UFO fact sheet on the end of Project Blue Book and a White House inquiry, to which the FBI replied that it has no jurisdiction over UFO sightings.
•SF 62- 2927 DET : lms documents many reports throughout the world of UFOs since that date, and claims that 1965 was the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings and that these were observed by mul tipl e wit nesses . It is author Edwards ' contention that UFOs are space vehicl es sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force , which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs , has deliberatel y withhel d information and given misleadi ng expl anati ons because it f ears a mass panic by the public if the publ ic were tol d the truth . The book describes UFOs as pol ished metal objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses who were too near), and emitting some force fiel d that inter feres wi th electromagnetic instruments and power sources . Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and bril liant orange . Some objects have carried blinking lights .

According to the book, the objects move silently and attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover motionless in mid- air; they have been reported to land and to take off with great speed, usually with a burst of l ight from the underside , which in some cases has left the groupd beneath them scorched. Many of the persons named in the book who have re ported them are reliable individuals, including law enforce ment officers, mil itary personnel on official duty, military pilots, commercial airline pilots , civilian defense officials , etc . A number of photographs of the obje cts have been repro duced in the book, some reportedly taken by repubable persons . Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile research areas .
