Documents / FOIA release
This FBI file release, Part 14 of the Bureau's UFO file, collects correspondence and memoranda from 1960 to 1968. Much of it concerns Joseph Perry of Grand Blanc, Michigan, whose moon photograph appeared to show a saucer-like object. The FBI passed the slides to Air Force OSI at Selfridge AFB and said repeatedly that it was not investigating. The file also covers a Denver lecture about space people, an anonymous Dallas informant, a NICAP subcommittee, and form replies stating that UFOs fall outside FBI jurisdiction.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Penn. Ave. & 9th. NW. Wash., D.C. 19806 Dear Sirs; There currently are rumors over the grapevine and There currently are rumors over the grapevine and in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's. It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officer and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are reported to have attempted to run down witnesses of UFO sightings, made disturbing almost macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken picture of several homes where UFO witnesses lived. Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or can you refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions? this information will help settle some disturbing questions the readers of my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can fully accept these rumours as facts. I need more information. Any information you supply can ease the worries of people who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky may portend the visit of a mysterious visitor. EX-100 P.S. If there are any pamphets covering the FBI's functions you feel I will need, please send them along.
