Correspondence Relating to Project Blue Book, 1955

This 1954 to 1955 file of U.S. Air Force Directorate of Intelligence correspondence gathers letters and memos about the Unidentified Flying Object Program. In one memo, the Air Force says an object that fell at Sylacauga, Alabama was identified as a meteorite at the Air Technical Intelligence Center. Donald Keyhoe questions the Office of Naval Research about the Navy's analysis of the Tremonton film, and the Navy says data are insufficient and it sees no danger. Most of the replies to the public enclose the Air Force UFO summary.

Dear Sir;

I have become very interested in the subject of flying saucers. I have obtained and read as many book that were within my grasp. I am now starting a file on this subject and was wondering although you are trying to keep the cap on the lid, if it is at all possible to send one information on the sightings within and through 1940+55. Also I would appreciate a form that is to be filled out when a sighting is made. I would appreciate this very much, although I know this is a big order. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tim Stone
