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.

experts; so, I decided to reveal their official, behi nd-the
scenes attitude to the public , doing so in a lengthy report
issued in 1960. The report 1 had taken five months to make
the rounds of the review-clearance mill, but. J s f inally

Despite a subsequent admonition from the Civilian
