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.

Gentlemen : °Fly C I 0
Enclose~!ou will find "Newe Releases" from a group
calling itsel~rial Phenomena Research Group, in Seattl e ,
Washington.
I am wondering if this is a legitimate organization o~ .
a phoney, particularly because it is indicated that certa· -
