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.

Dear Mr_, Hoover:
December 1, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an
unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just
24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73
passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in
mid air and crashed.
I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, 'to Mr. J. F.d.gar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of
this plane. Mr. Hoover infonned me that the Civil Aeronautics Board
was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be ~
forwarded to them, the C.A.B. Cl

u
this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or ~
the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have p.~

missed the point completely. ~
I claimed that the object which I seen was laying air mines and
that this aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines.
