Federal Bureau of Investigation · 127 pages · text by OCR

This part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's UFO file collects FBI and Air Force correspondence from about 1950 to 1953. It includes an Air Force OSI district summary of aerial phenomena in New Mexico from December 1948 to May 1950, which reports that green fireballs occurred near sensitive installations and remained unexplained. It also holds a 1950 sighting of an orange sphere by a New Haven chemical engineer, a report from jet pilots near Fairbanks, a Los Alamos reporting form, and 1953 memos on sighting tips that the FBI passed on without investigating.

Dear

Your letter of June 30, 1953, was brought to my attention upon my return to the city, and I want to thank you for making this information available to me.

I wish to advise that the situation which you discuss in your letter does not pertain to any matter within the investigative jurisdiction of the FDI. Obviously, therefore, no representative of this Bureau conducted the interview with Mr. which you describe relative to "flying saucers."

MAILED 11

JUL 28 1953

COMM·FBI

Sincerely yours,

J. Edgar Hoover

John Edgar Loover Director

cc - Cincinnati Reurlet July 15, 1953.

NOTi: Mr. letter of June 30, 1952, stated that a farmer named of Circleville, Ohio, had reportedly seen a flying sancer one had been subsequently interviewed on the matter by representative of the FBI. Mr. desired to know if this were true.

Bulet of July 9, 1953, to him was an "in-absence" reply, containing a note for SAC, Cincinnati to determine the basis of the runor. Cincinnati letter of July 15, 1953, indicates that was interviewed on July 14, 1953; at that time Stevenson indicated that he had been interviewed on the subject by one of Columbus, Ohio, who made the statement that he (Grant) had once been "checked" by the FBI. Cincinnati files reflect no prior interview with the farmer, who is Circleville, Ohio.
