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.

## Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows: (Metal splatters on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer were identified by spectrographic analysis as being formed from two different aluminum alloys. However, these alloys could not be identified since the chemical composition of the deposits did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to 4 degrees outboard.) On July 18, 1964, I made another observation, the details of which I sent to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. (This sighting was Astronomical not a man made object), a copy of their return letter is enclosed. Somehow both of these observations had something in common, the color. I proceeded to experiment and have arrived at the following conclusions, after several hundred experiments had taken place. I have bought books on Astronomy and also books on Flying Saucers. I know that this object was not astronomical in any way nor was it a Flying Saucer. This object was a cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a Meteor or as a Flying Saucer. However, this missle failed to operate as planned that is how I was able to see the complete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the government. I also know why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. My experiments proved this. Thru my experiments I have been able to determine the following: 1. Where they get the tremendous speed from. 2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion. 3. Appearing to osCillate about their vertical axis. 4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust. 5. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions. 6. Different colors they have. 7. Pulsating light.-Luminous appearance. 8. Different forms and shape. These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South Americas by Russia. Anyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities.
