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.

a function of the f•deral Bureau of Investigation.
!his Bureau is, of course, interested in any aspect
of anr development which would affect the internal
secur ty of the United States.
Your letter of September 22, 1958, requested an
interview with an official of this Bureau concerning the
matter of unidentified flying object& and this Bureau's
policy in connection therewith. Since this Bureau's policy
in connection with unidentified flying objects has been
fully set forth above, you may feel that the requested
interview is not now necessary.
Sincerely yours,
John Edgar Hoover
Director
