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.

Unidentified Flying Objects Interplanetary There is now sufficient information based on data compiled from eyewitness accounts that a high percentage of aerial phenomena such as those popularly described as unidentified flying objects are "intelligently controlled craft whose ports of origin are outside Earths atmosphere." This is the conclusion reached as the result of a study begun by Aerial Phenomena Research Group in Seattle, Washington on January 1, 1954 into the field of unidentified flying objects and possibly related incidents. Commenting on this study, National Director of Aerial Phenomena Research Group Robert J. Gribble said: "Although the accounts considered in this study did not contain scientific measurements of each sighting, it was possible to establish certain valid conclusions by the application of statistical methods in the treatment of the data. Analyzed and arranged, the data did show a marked pattern. "On the basis of this marked pattern of the data, A.P.R.G. has concluded that a high percentage of the more than 5,000 accounts of unidentified flying objects examined in this study represent observations of technological developments outside the range of present-day scientific knowledge. "Therefore, it is highly probable that many of the unidentified flying objects considered in this study are 'spacecraft from other planets'." A.P.R.G. highly recommends that all national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the unidentified flying objects of the special "secrecy status" they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired.
