U.S. Department of War · 1955 · 220 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

Department of Unidentified Flying Objects Air Force Intelligence Headquarters

The Pentagon

Washington, D. C.

Dear Sirs:

I am writing my research theme on flying saucers.

I would appreciate it if you could send me any information you might have on the subject that has or can be made public.

In the book by Major Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers From Outer Space, an Albert M. Chop, Air Force Press Desk, is mentioned. If he is around somewhere, in the Pentagon, I would appreciate it if you would give him the enclosed letter. Otherwise, I wish someone in the intelligence headquarters would answer it.

Thank you very much for your trouble.

Stan Raymonds

Glenn Reynolds

P. S. I will appreciate your prompt reply, as my theme is due very shortly.
