Documents / FOIA release
This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section collects 1964 to 1968 correspondence about the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). It includes public letters, internal notes calling Donald Keyhoe's submissions irresponsible, and an Indianapolis recommendation against sending material to NICAP researcher Harry F. Koch. The FBI Laboratory declined to examine UFO photo negatives from Emerson, New Jersey, but its experts privately judged them likely trick photography. Other replies state that UFO matters fall outside FBI jurisdiction.

John Edgar Hoover Director of FBI Justice Department Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Hoover: 62-103581 Mr. Mohr Mr. DeLeonch . Carper . Cullahan Ir. Conrad Ir. Felt Mr. Cale Mr. Raven Mr. Sullivan Mr. Tavel Mr. Trotter Tele. Room: Miss Hoimes Miss Gaudy I just read and articulate in the local newspaper that you delivered in a report on March 4, 1965 before the House Appropriations subcommittee. And I can not understand why our government is about to allow the Communist bloc to establish consulates in many parts of our country when we can not even keep our embassies and our flag from being damaged in foreign countries, also we can not enter anywhere in Russia or China. Your department has difficult as it is to keep tabs on subversive groups that dwell within our country as it is. I and many others believe they should be kept in Washington D.C. area, that is where Government affairs are at. It is best to have them under your thumb instead of the whole hand, and this should be stopped by some means. I believe if the people knew this and urged to write their Congressmen and Senators it could be stopped. By gosh it will become, one will suspect ones neighbor in time. And we have enough unrest among our youth's as it is. Harry F. Koch Research Director NICAP P.O.Drawer 638 La Porte, Indiana. 46350
