Your letter was received on December 19th.

Although I appreciate the motives prompting you to write me, unidentified flying objects do not come within the scope of this Bureau's authority. I am, however, referring a copy of your letter to the Director of Special Investigations, The Inspector General, Department of the Air Force, Washington, D. C., whose agency has conducted related studies.

Sincerely yours,

Edgar Hoover
