From the source: Release of 2026-07-10 Incident: 10/10/74, Various. This file contains two pieces of correspondence. The first, dated 9/22/1967, relays a description of an incident provided by an eleven-year-old child in which they heard a “weird” noise and saw a “flash of light.” The second, dated 9/30/1974 and 10/10/1974, is an exchange of letters between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Mr. Larry Bryant regarding an “alleged April 8, 1954 sighting of an occupied unidentified flying object (UFO).” The FBI’s response to Mr. Bryant’s inquiry indicated that it maintained no record of such an event, and that, circa 1974, the Bureau does not collect information regarding UFO sightings.

Mr. Larry W. Bryant 2904 South Thirteenth Road Apartment 2 Arlington, Virginia 22204 Dear Mr. Bryant: I have received your letter dated September 30, 1974, regarding UFO sightings. I am sorry to advise you that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has no information regarding the UFO sighting you describe in your letter, and, in fact, the FBI does not collect information regarding UFO sightings in general. As you are probably aware, the FBI is the investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice, and is authorized to investigate only those matters specifically delegated to it by Congress. UFO sightings are not such matters. In addition, our files contain no information regarding the current residence or telephone number of Mrs. Lelah H. Stoker, mentioned in your letter. Very truly yours, RICHARD G. HELD Special Agent in Charge 1974 Jul-A P 4258 Oct 3/26/90 1- Addressee 2- Chicago (100-44501) 1- 100-36363 100-44501-3 JMF:nss (3) Searched Serialized Indexed Filed
