Department of War · 290 pages · text from the file's own layer

This section of FBI file 62-HQ-83894 collects Bureau correspondence on flying saucers from 1957 to 1966. It includes a 1957 memo on the rise in UFO reports after Sputnik, in which the Air Force told the FBI that the recent sightings were nonauthentic. It also holds a Havana report of a disc over Matahambre, Cuba, and inquiries about Robert T. Stone's Inter Continental Aerial Research Foundation and a Torrington, Connecticut sighting. Hoover's replies state that UFOs were never within FBI jurisdiction.

GEOBlE W. VAN TASSEL

in the public. He said this 1s due to the number of scien
tific d1scover1ee already made and that Will be made wn1oh
are labor aaving and or almost permanency so that replacements
would not be needed.
In summation, VAN TASSEL' S speech was on these
(1) Space people related to occurrences 1n
Bible.
(2) Atom Bomb detrimental to earth and universe .
(3) Bconomy is poor and would collapse under
... ,., ideas brought by apace people.
Tiiroughout hie lecture, VAN 'l'ASSBL mentioned only
the u. S. econom;y and Government and the u. s. Air Poree. He
did refer to the human race numerous times but al l reterencee
to Government and economy could only be taken as meaning the
u. s. Cne question put to him waa whether sightings had been
made in .Ruaa1a or China. He anawered this by saying a1gh.t1ng11
had been reported all over the world, but then •~c1t1cally
mentioned only the U. s. , Australia, Ne• zealand, and Hew
Guinea .
He also mentioned that he waa not advocating or
asking tor any action on the part of the audience becauae he
ea1d evll haa a way or destroying 1t•elt. He did aay that
he telt that the audience, of about 250 persona, were the
o~ intelligent ~opl e in Denver and he knew they had not
come out or curioeity but because they wanted to do the right
th.1.ng . He aaid that they were above the average 1n :intelligence
and when the critical time came, the world would need people
such as thia to thirik and guide .
An application blank waa distr~buted at the meeting
