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.

In 1958 we adopted the practice of once a year reviewing complaints received concerning existence of flying saucers f0r the purpose of determining whether instructions in addition to those already issued to the field were necessary. The last memorandum dated 10/2/62 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects was to conduct no investigation when received in the field but the field shoul d submit the facts immediately to the Air Force. Our SAC letters dated in 1949 and in 1952 emphasized the afore-mentioned policy and it does not appear that at this time further instnietions to the field are necessary. ~ During the past 12 months we have received no complaints regarding flying saucers and during the past 24 months only one complaint was received, the facts of which were immediately referred to the Air Force . ACTION: Since it does not appear that continuation of our yearly review of the flying saucer situation is warranted, no further analysis or review of matters coming within this field will be conducted in the future. Action with respect to any complaints received, of course, will follow our policy. b - J .;,<f 9 JFW :klw / '0._,1../-J RE ---- (5) ., t ~<I' OCT 8 1963 t~ \ I62-83894 ' V
