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.

NOTE: Bu.files reflect that an unidentified flying object was sighted
near Socorro, New Mexico, on April 24, 1964. Captain Holder, United
States Air Force, along with SA D. Arthur Byrnes, Jr., interviewed
one LJnnie Zamora of the Socorro Police Department who had observed
the phenomena. SA Byrnes typed such a statement from Zamora which
was la"ter include.ct in a memo for dissemination. The Albuque:i;-que
Office did not concluct any investigation other than to keep the Bureau
advised and mainta:j.n liaison with the Air Force. This is app:trently
the situation to which the correspondent is referring. Bu.files contain
no information identifiable with the correspondent.
