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.

I personally have some fear that now that he has made contact with me, he may, either privately, or worse, publicly attempt to make it look as if I am an inside contact with NSA for him. Or, on the other hand, he may elude to having such a contact for years, then when he feels it appropriate or when cornered, hope to produce me as that contact. I really do not know the man but I am fully confident that I can handle him in this situation. I have talked with him in a frank, clear manner that should have conveyed to him my position and I feel, without specific examples of his being dishonest, I should give him a chance of building a productive working relationship. As for his request for information, from what I know of the man I expected him to make such a forward approach upon meeting, though I did not anticipate him looking me up. I guess I should have expected that too. Any further contact or requests for information will be reported.
