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.

This requires myself as researcher to write all over this country to gather material. Just the other week, the local police detective had orders to check me out, to see if I represented what I address myself to be. I do write to top leaders of our country, sheriffs, Air Force and other government branches, and all respond graciously and most help me in gathering material, such as Ranger 7-8-9 Photos, Grissom and Youngs photos that they took on their second orbit, detail of various crafts that are in space and going into space, oceanography, satellites, propulsion, rockets, atomic energy and many other scientific events. And photos they are the material the youth's get most impress on, because as they say, "it is like being there as the event happens". And you know the old say, one picture is worth 10,000 words and I do believe it from the interest these youth's take, not only the youth's but various organization of science Mr. Orvil Hartle Chairman and myself as Researcher been thinking, because we are interested in science, that we might be approach by some subversive person or group, but we will, without saying or doing a thing let the FBI office know that is in South Bend. I say this because of all the places I have been writing to, specially all the scientists I hear from and get material from. And we want your department to know what we do, and why we contact so many top men in the field of science, just encase something does turn up.
