Federal Bureau of Investigation · 184 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section (62-HQ-83894, Section 10) holds UFO-related correspondence from 1966 to 1977. In a 1966 letter, Florence C. Dow of Goffstown, New Hampshire asked whether subscribing to the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America journal might link her to communists. J. Edgar Hoover replied that the Bureau does not evaluate organizations, and a copy of the journal is enclosed. Other items include a 1977 Air Force fact sheet on the end of Project Blue Book and a White House inquiry answered by the FBI, which said it had no jurisdiction over UFO sightings.

From the source:Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: N/A, N/A. The FBI's 62-HQ-83894 case file includes investigative records, eyewitness testimonies, and public reports concerning Unidentified Flying Objects and flying discs documented between June 1947 and July 1968.

THE COCKEYED BALLAD
There's a cockeyed feeling in the world today
That power politics is here to stay.
But China, Russia and the U.S. A.
Boy-don't let them fool you!
Take a look at this world of ours,
Just one mud ball in the sea of stars.
Other planets have no color-bars,
'Cause they've got perspective.
Yanks and Ruskies put men into space,
But it 1s all a mad politician's race,
One-up-manship in this Year of Grace.
It makes you giggle.
The population stands and stares,
While men in capsules explore U·pstairs.
Why we can 1t even manage our own affairs!
Some cheek -colonization!
Besides, they've got people on Venus and Mars.
They got lads and lasses and ma's and pa I s.
And they've got better transport than four-wheel cars.
Have you ever seen 'em?
Those Flying Saucers whisking through our skies
Must take some power to make them rise.
But government departments just hide their eyes,
And call them meteors!
With all the lies that they print and shout,
The general public's got its work cut out
Figuring what it's all about.
But just you keep on trying.
I suppose you know why I'm telling you this,
So you won't shriek or shake your fist
When you dis cover Martians do exist!
They I re real nice fellows.
I know, 'cause I met one a week ago!
His ship came down for an hour or so .
He talked to me, but then he had to go .
Real interested I was!
Got brothers on Venus and Saturn, it seems -
Fly their ships on magnetic beams .

AGE SONGS by Mollie Thompson
SPACE-TALK
The powers that be will tell us we 're alone.
They'll tell us that in space we are unique;
On this little desert island we call Earth
The hwnan race is just a kind of freak.
When we send our envoys into space
The re '11 be a smile upon this planet's face,
'Cause brother, right out there-I'm telling you,
There's another human race; it's very true!
They're a very, very peaceful crowd,
For they just never go to war.
And they cannot interfere,
This is by Universal Law.
The spaceman's message to us all
Is based on how to banish fear,
And if we only understand,
We will find it heaven here.
While we must rely on war,
We never will be happy here.
While this world's economy
Is based on hardship, strife and fear.
How do they live without a war
In their lands of milk and honey?
They don't need economy,
Because they don't use any money!
They cannot give us any ships,
So we must try and build our own.
But they are waiting right out there,
Oh, my friends, we 're not alone!
How do they go at such great speed,
And vanish then without prediction?
Because they use free energy,
And there isn't any friction.
Brother have you seen their ships?
Sisters have you seen them glow,
As they dance and hover in the sky ,
And make our fastest jets look slow?
