The file also contains AFSCA newsletter items and an advertisement for AFSCA's 1966 Reno convention.

A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who hand landed from the objects, who are described as three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets.

Author Edwards concludes this book with a prediction that in the near future UFOs will make an "overt landing" or deliberate contact with earth.

A copy of this letter is being directed to Denver, in view of the contract awarded to Dr. EDWARD U. CONDON.

The above is being called to the Bureau's attention in view of the press report of mounting pressure for a civilian controlled investigative agency to handle UFO matters.
