FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 14

Federal Bureau of Investigation · 141 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

Dear Sir ;

There currently rumors over the grapevine and in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go around terrorizing people who have had close-ups views of UFO's. It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officers and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark automobiles that either have old license 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 leamed some dark secret about extraterrestrial craft or mission plans and opened mail , tapped telephones and even taken pictures of several homes where UFO witnesses lived.

Can you give me any information on such rumours Or can you refer me to a source whose facilities are answer my questions ?
