FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 13

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

There appears to be no advantage to our continuing our yearly review of captioned matter.

In 1958 we adopted the practice of once a year reviewing complaints received concerning existence of flying saucers for the purpose of determining whether instructions in addition to those already issued to the field were necessary. The last memorandum dated 10/2/62 pointed out that our policy concerning unidentified flying objects was to conduct no investigation when received in the field but the field should submit the facts immediately to the Air Force. Our SAC Letters dated in 1949 and in 1952 emphasized the afore-mentioned policy and it does not appear that at this time further instructions to the field are necessary.

During the past 12 months we have received no complaints regarding flying saucers and during the past 24 months only one complaint was received, the facts of which were immediately referred to the Air Force.

## ACTION:

Since it does not appear that continuation of our yearly review of the flying saucer situation is warranted, no further analysis or review of matters coming within this field will be conducted in the future. Action with respect to any complaints received, of course, will follow our policy.
