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.

DA Translation Directorate of Intelligence REL 3-2 (13 Sep 55) 1st Ind. OFFICE OF THE AIR ATTACHE, American Embassy, Djakarta, Indonesia TO: Director of Intelligence, Hq USAF, ATTN: AFOIN-X, Washington 25, D.C. 1. Subject letter was delivered to the U.S. Army Attache, this station, by Mr. Onverzaagt. 2. It is believed Mr. Onverzaagt obtained the name of the Air Attache from a nameplate on his desk, as the Air Attache's office was used to make delivery of the letter. This procedure was necessary as the Army Attache's office was disorganized due to redecoration. 3. The Army Attache advises that the contents of the letter is of little value with Mr Onverzaagt expressing an interest in manufacture of conventional aircraft and otherwise (flying saucers), and wanted a visit to the United States under official status. 2 Incls n/c LYLE R.
