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.

WE WILL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WILL PUBLISH THE ENCLOSED AFPEAL ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER, IN A CONSPICUOUS ENOUGH MANNER THAT NO ONE WILL FAIL TO NOTICE IT. IT IS THE PUBLIC WE MUST DEPEND UPON TO GET THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED, AND WITH THIS CO-OPERATION WE ARE OERTAIN THAT WE CAN FIND THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE OF THE "FLYING SAUCERS."
