FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 16

Federal Bureau of Investigation · 169 pages · text by GLM-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.

## RESEARCHERS COOPERATION WITH OTHER GROUPS

Naturally, cooperation with military groups comes under the heading of security information, and civilian exchange is not permitted. In addition, most US scuser groups are small, under a hundred members, and work on a competitive and not a cooperative basis.

However, foreign civilian groups are usually willing to exchange date on the subject, and usually have information not available in the US. The Flying Souper Researchers exchange information with all groups willing to send either clippings, photostated reports or microfilmed reports. At present, this includes

1. FLYING SAUCER CLUB in England, who print their own quarterly "FLYING SAUCER MEN" of European - Asian reports. It is headed by Richard Hughes.

2. AUSTRALIAN FLYING SAUCER BUREAU, who print their own Quarterly Bulletin of Australian and Asian reports. It is hodded by E. R. Jarrold.

3. CURAN'S MAGAZINE, which is printed by 2 persons, Eric Biddle and More Edrouty for their group, half in English, and half in French.
