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.

_ r..~- ; AdOO ' Oll3 X HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS July 28, 1964 Mr. Edward A. Stewart, Jr. 152 Mount Holly Avenue Mount Holly, New Jersey Dear Mr. Stewart: The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes called a "fireball" or a 1'bolide11 • Almost all vecy bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments of asteroids. The direction of motion of your \meteor is consistent with that sort of orbit. A good many bright' meteors strike the earth each day, but most go unnoticed. We have received another report of the same meteor from Wilmington, Delaware. I am sending your observation to the Moonwatch Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatocy here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for analysis of visual observations of bright meteors. Since it is vecy rarely possible for the professional astronomer to observe these meteors, most of what is known about them depends on this sort of lucky chance . ·-._ Sincerely yours, ~4~ RBS:lrw Richard B±s'ou.thworth EtallUJ'.lllq ---- •,' ,·' '
