FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 16

Federal Bureau of Investigation · 169 pages · text by OCR

This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section collects 1949 Army intelligence reports of unidentified aerial objects seen around Camp Hood, Texas, forwarded by the San Antonio office, which told the Director it was reviewing and destroying such reports unless they held FBI interest. It also has 1957 FBI liaison memoranda on a radar-tracked object near Montauk Point and Benton, Pennsylvania, judged unlikely to be a Soviet operation. The file also includes a civilian Flying Saucer Researchers release arguing that saucers probably come from Mars.

And after this, remain "somewhat nebulous" on the matter. would suggest a check of files on this name as well as others previous mentioned.

His appearance within 2 weeks after mentioning to me that it would require several thousand dollars, is also a little too well ti

She has also stated that the 6 person business meetings, held in her between public meetings is not too necessary, and that I only need appear She has spoken to Mr. several times, and mentioned that he m able to appear at one of these business meetings, and planned for next

From this, I would assume that they either plan further attempts to obtain information from me, or make a possible business agreement to re work. I do not plan to enter any agreement, in the possibility it is o
