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.

Anyway, the reason I am writing to you is because of that report you gave. I am a Research Director for the NICAP Unit 2 of Northern Indiana. And I have been writing all over the world to scientists and subcommittees of NICAP also to our governement officials and NASA of various departments for facts, data and photos about our outer space programs and other scientific science. Our group also investigate UFOs sightings of true sighting in a scientific fashion, the hoax we expose along with the Air Force. Those type of sighting we do not want, they can only hurt our organization. But with the thousands of people seeing something and even frighten them, we take their statement with an open-mind then evaluate it and class it with other sightings to see if we can make a pattern to learn what and why. UFOs has been sighted every since B.C. and have been carried along in history, but today, these sightings has become more numerous with intelligent people making reports. You probably have a copy of the UFO EVIDENCE that Major D. Keyhoe published, and that book will explain our interest. But we of Northern Indiana has a secondary interest, and that is to urge our youth's to finish their schooling. Being an non-profit group, we donate our time and money, writing, giving lecturers and gather material from scientists and NASA. We give that personal contact to the youth's that are interested in science, which appears that is what the youth's want.
