Documents / Memo
This undated National Security Agency memorandum for the record, addressed to D4, contains a chronology written by an employee who checked in at Fort Meade in July 1978. The employee reports telling NSA officials about their UFO interests and attending the Mutual UFO Network 1978 UFO Symposium in Dayton, Ohio. There they judged letters shown publicly by Robert Barry to be fraudulent, and NSA later confirmed this. The memo also describes a phone call in which a UFO researcher asked for help finding UFO information inside NSA. The employee says they turned the request down.

We talked for nearly one hour. He first wanted to clear up the matter of his working for NSA, a claim he has made publicly in several interviews. He said he had been talking to and that had said I had checked on his employment at NSA. I explained to him that that was not the case but that in the process of letting the proper people know I was aboard, (D4), his name came up in relation to someone else requesting that information from NSA and that the fact was that NSA records did not reflect that he had every worked for them. He explained what his former association with NSA was. He had been, from 1963 to 1966, in ASA and at one time had been a shift supervisor at a crit-a-com relay The discussion turned to general UFO topics and some general conversation NSAs role, ie. they both provide a service and/or a product to many government agencies.
