Earar J. Hoover. Director. Federal Bureau of Investigation. Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir,
Calling success.
About two years ago or so I wrote to you and asked you, to the best of my recollection, why agents of you Bureau investigated reported landings of unidentified flying objects and whether data referring their findings was available. You replied saying that agents investigated these cases to determine whether env Federal law had been broken and that their findings were confidential as were all other FBI records.
Since receiving your letter which was placed in my records, many of my records including your letter were destroyed recently in a fire at my home and I would therefore be grateful if, for the purposes of my new records, confirm your letter of 1964/5 if the situation is still the same.

In addition, I would be pleased to learn what your opinion is of the unidentified flying objects. If you decline, I would appreciate that it was due to your position. DEC 2 1966
