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.

Once before, a gracious lady was willing, against
much advice, to listen to the sincere words of a man
who was still to battle for many years to come for
the truth which he propounded. We ask again for that
First L ady' s gracious attention to certain matters
which we believe, as in years gone by, will be of
interest to her, also today.
Our Open Letter we respectfully address to -
Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of t he Netherlands .
An open Letter
SOESTD IJK PALACE,
SOES TD IJ K,
H OLLAND. JUN E 1967.
To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana.
Your Majesty,
We venture to approach you on a matter which we
believe wi ll be of some interest to you, the sub j ect
being one of immense importance, bearing as it does
imp li cat io ns of a nature which might well affect in
the future every aspect of human endeavour on this
Earth.
The subject of which we speak has once before
been broug ht to You r Majesty's attent ion, and, we
understand , received caref ul consideration; in fact,
it is in t he be li ef that Yo ur Majest y has shown more
than usual interest that we make this approach to
day.
May we , with respect, ask you to cast your mind
back 8 years. In May of 1959, Your Majesty was
pleased to request the presence of Mr. George
A damski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr.
A damski was at that time on a wor ld lecture-tour.
This gentleman had an unusual story to tell . He
spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings
from outer space. H e spoke of kind hum an bei ngs
who had travelled in their spaceships, often called
" flying saucers", from their home planets in our
so lar system , from Venus , from Saturn, Mars and
others.
T heir understanding was far ahead of our own ,
their si ncere interest in our we lfare was part of a
philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the
Creator' s W orks.
T his was George Adamski 's story.
In 1959, t he sub j ect of fl yi ng saucers was consid
ered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt
to discuss t he possibi lity of beings technologica ll y
superior to us, visiti ng Earth in space craft trave ll ing
at fantastic speeds, was t o dismiss all the sc ientif ic
concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were
only beginning to accept the remote possibility of
" some form " of life , - and a one-cell life, at that, -
existing anywhere at all outside of Earth . And any
suggestion that intelligent beings existed who had
progressed past the stages of wars and poverty and
racial intolerance, was to speak of H eaven itself.
Now, in 1967, many things have changed. The
maj ority still laughs, yes. B ut one sees in the ever
expanding minority a level of radical but intelligent
thought which would have been branded a "heresy "
against the who le Establishment just a few years
ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity
and the near-proximity of an Earthman's landing on
the Moon , ideas have had to change along with the
immense changes in the means of travel.
What modern science has yet to discover, how
ever, is an antidote to the enormously swo ll en ego
of " Earth - man " which has gained nothing from the
discoveries of Galileo other than a list of changed
astronomical data and some very basic facts con
cerning the solar system in which we live .
What they have not yet learned from the " here
tica l" reve lations of Galileo is that scientific " fact "
of today is not necessarily scientific " fact " of to
morrow ; that they, too , these modern scientists, may
be called upon - and perhaps very soon - to change
all previous concepts of astro nomical physics and
to accept that Earth-man is not, after all , alone in
the Un iverse.
One of the pioneers in this school of thought was
George Adamski. Since his passing , in April 1965,
others have come forward to carry on his work .
Madam, on severa l occasio ns in the years since
1959, Mr. Adamski was give n t he opportu nity of phot
ograp hing some of t hese space craft on movie-fi lm.
These films have been show n widely in the United
Stat es and in certain cou ntries in Europe. They have
been viewed by persons in authority, including ex
perts in many fie lds , as well as by millions of the
general pub lic by way of television.
The extraterrestrial human beings of whom Mr.
Adamski spoke are still operating in the same patt
ern . Several of his helpers have been privi leged to
meet these people. New co lour movies have been
taken of the ir ships, on occasion with th e deliberat e
connivance of the pi lots of the craft concerned .
An American lady, Mrs . Madelei ne Rodeffer, and
two Germanborn , naturalised Americans , Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Steck ling, have been privi leged not on ly
to meet these friends from other planets but they
have also been enabled to photograph t he movement
of their craft on colour-film .
All of th ese fil ms have been viewed by perso ns
in authority, including photographic experts of
t he U.S . Nat ional A ero naut ics and Space A gency,
(NASA), and they have yet to be faulted .
Madam, the reason for our approach in this Open
Letter is this. Having heard from Mr. Adamski first
hand of hi s experiences, wou ld Your Majesty care
once more to hear of the visitations of the Brothers
and Sist ers who befriended hi m? They have made
themselves known to others ; there are courageous
,_
messages to trusted UFO worke rs on Earth, and
for other specific purpo ses. Most of us have re ad
accounts written by people claiming to have recei
ved messages , both garbled and clear, from the
Space Brothers via ham radios , tensor-coil experi
ments, etc. , or of seeing spacemen or other uniden
tified phenomena on their television screens. There
was one amusing story of a man who fe ll asleep
whi le watching a late, late movie on television and
awoke several hours later to find himself stari ng
at a strange, other-wor ld face on his TV screen!
He was so sc ared , he snapped off the TV set -
and sold it the next day! Then there are cases of
people hearing messages and celestia l music on
the ir tape recorders. Only recently, Fate magazine
publ ished a letter received from Myra Dee H ina of
Sacrame nto , California, in which she stated that
while attempting to record a new song she had
created with the help of numerology, i.e., »notes
forming the vibration of each word« , on a brand
new tape bought at a local store, she proceeded
to pick the notes out on an organ and sing them
on to the tape . She goes on to say: »I then went
to turn off the tape recorder and fou nd it had stop
ped. I reset it and played the notes over again .
Whe n I returned to t he recorder to stop it, some
sort of a force field seemed to appear. I could
see it and feel it with my hands. It gave me the
same sensation as if I held two repelling magnets.
Wondering why such a co ndition existed, I stood
and let the machine run on. When I no longer fe lt
the force fie ld, I ran the tape back to replay. My
voice was c lear, the notes were clear - but I was
shocked beyo nd words when a beautiful orchestra
began playing the very theme I had created. it
lasted a long per iod, over 35 minutes. It is poss ible
that t he recorder somehow picked up music out of
the air. There was no other instrument in the house,
the tape was new and I ran it around 12 o'c lock
midnight. I've tried to repeat this strange incident
several times , but nothing has happened . In addi
tion to the music on the tape, a voice speaks in
a language I never heard before. Several persons
who have li ste ned to the tape say they have a weird
feeling whi le it is playing «.
A Warning V ia Ham Rad io.
Whi le, even wit h an open mind, we cannot, un
derstandab ly, vouch for the veracity of all these
claims , we can quote a coup le of experiences of
this nature which happened to our founder, the
late Wi lbert 8 . Sm ith , during his long and intensive
study of the UFO Mystery.. W BS, as most of you
know, was fi rst and foremost a scientist, and he
never accepted anything without carefu l checks and
cross -checks and only by this method was he rea
sonably sure of his ground . But undoubtedly, he
received c lear-cut messages and confirmations on
a variety of scientific and philosophical matters
from his space friends , the »Boys from Topside«,
through a number of different media. One of these
sources was a local ham radio operator who, it
must be clearly stressed , knew little if anything
about Mr. Smith 's work or scientific experiments
and most of the messages he received for Wi lbert
Smith , on an unidentified waveband, were complete
ly unintelligible to hi m - althoug h they made a lot
of sense to WBS.
By this means and with t he usual , requested con
firmation from other sources , Wilbert Smith received
a lot of invaluab le gu idance in his scie nt ific work.
The most dramatic incident, however, occurred when
WBS and a small work ing party of th e then Ottawa
Flying Saucer Club were preparing to test out an
exper imental mach ine th ey had bui lt. Just prior to
this test, the Boys from Topside broke into the
ham radio operator's listening , blanking out all
other stations and repeating insistently that they
had an urgent message for Wi lbert Smit h which
the operator was to pass on to him without delay -
and this he did. Th e message, couched in scientific
terms , might be translated into layman ' s language
as saying that a certai n fl ywhee l in t he experi menta l
machine would not stand t he stress of the r.m .p.
about to be placed on it and t hat it wou ld shatter
under the strain ; precaution should be taken. Hee
ding t hi s adv ice , W BS and his co -workers bui lt a
protective woode n covering around the machine,
after wh ich they set it in motion and, as predicted,
the flywheel shattered , embedding the wooden
boards with its shrapne l !
Intervention on a Tape Recording.
Another strange experience occ urred duri ng an
exchange of tape recording letters between WBS
and another UFO worke r in the U.S . At the time,
WBBS was in possession of certain scientific data
which the Boys from Topside had asked hi m to
keep confidential for the time being . Inadvertently,
W BS, more by implication t han d irect state men t,
let slip a few clues to this scientific problem in
a tape-letter to his co ll eague . A week or so later,
he received the tape back from his friend , with a
message aski ng if he would fi ll in t he blank spaces
on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examined the tape care
fully and played it over, onl y t o discover that in
the places where he had let slip the tell-tale clues ,
the sound had been neatly erased and there was a
slightly sticky substance on the tape in these areas!
The on ly possible conc lusion he could reach was
that it was the work of the Boys from Topside.
H ere the n, are two au t hentic cases of t he Space
Brothers using our electronic equipment for a speci
fic purp ose.
Use of Television.
Recently, the English magazine »Week -End« car
ried the following article, and whi le it is wr itten in
a humorous, tongue-in -cheek vein , its writer may
have been a lot closer to the trut h than he imagi
ned! To quote : »Tonight you wi ll probably sit down
