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.

CO LON EL MAC LAUGH LI N. Missile expert. (Statement in 1949.) - * - 29 sight U FO's over W hite Sands Range by Dorrance Guy. A lamogordo , N.M. - At least 29 White Sands Missile Range personnel were eyewitnesses to one or more Unidentified Flying Objects between 10.30 and 11 a.m. Thursday. News concerning the UFOs has been cutoff by orde rs from the Pe ntago n. A ll service personnel and civilians working for the services have been forbidden to discuss the sight ings. An investigation is under way at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M ., with Maj . James Stephens , UFO officer, in charge. He, too , is not allowed to discuss the sightings. Terry Clark, president and general manager of radio station KALG , Alamogordo , said the UFOs first were spotted near Ruido so, N.M., then went near Hol loman AF B, the n south toward Orogrande, N.M ., and then disappeared over the Sacramento Moun tains. Info rm at ion o ffi cers at H o ll oman AFB and WSMR were contacted by Cl ark and he was told the Flight Safety Office at Kirtland AFB at Albuquerque , N.M ., would handle the investigation. Ki rtland would make no comment exept that all information would have to come from the Pentagon . Clark called the assigned number at the Pentagon and was told that no information was available. Capt. Frank J. Morris , di rector of information at Holloman AFB , Saturday night said that Maj . Step hens is handling the investigation. He said the re sults would be sent to Wright- Patterson AFB , Ohio, and from there would go to the Pentagon . He said no informatio n wculd be re leased except through the Pub lic Information Office under the Secretary of the Air Force. Neith er WSMR nor H ol loman AFB personnel has any authority in the case. Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be ident ified , would not allow use of their names beca:ise of the Air Force regulation . However, these witnesses estimated that the " silv ery discs" were flying at an altitude of " 20,000 to 25,000 feet" and moving at a speed of " approximat ely 2,000 miles per hour." There were several Air Force planes in the air over WSMR at the time of the sightings. While it took a few minutes to transfer from Army to Air Force communicat ions, the pilots were notified of the UFOs. They circled around , but none of the pilots was able to see anything unusual. Missile firings at WSMR were checked . There were none at this t ime. There was little c loud cove r duri ng the half hour invo lved and , at this time of day, it would be impossible to see a meteor. The ob j ects were moving much faster than a balloon . One WSMR individu al said the UFOs were tracked on radar. There is no accu rate estimate of the number of objects spotted . There may have been one - may have been more. There is no indication when the Pentagon will release any information on the sightings - if ever. From: The El Paso Times , El Paso, Texas. Sunday, March 5th, 1967. COMMEN T : We understand from our source of in form ation that this news item appeared only in El Paso, Texas . Inquiries showed that the Air Force had stopped t he incide nt be ing re ported in th e national newspapers.

And so, Iife goes on . . . - * - UFO's over British Columbia On April 14th, 1967, at about 8.05 p.m., Ian Squire and Scott McNeil! (two boys aged about 14) were on their cycles going along Cedar H ill Crossroads, Virginia, B.C . They crossed over Cadboro Bay Road into Upper T errace Road (Up lands res id ent ial district) , and proceeded down into Ripon Road as far as the Circle. From there , they saw a red and a green light hovering over wh at they thought was probably the area of the Upland s Golf Clubhouse on Cadboro Bay Road . They were on their way down to the Yacht Club, and didn 't stop to investigate, however. The two lig hts were not blinking, and seemed stationary (but it mu st be remembered that on their cycles, they were moving , which prevented their being certain about this last point). The sky was dark and starry: there was hard ly any wind at all. At 8.10 p.m . t he same evening, i.e . f ive or six mi n utes later, Ian Squire 's grandmother (name withne ld at witness' request) was driving uphill alo ng C ad boro Bay Road southwards towards the northern gates into The Uplands district, when suddenly she saw a red and a green light over the roadway, i.e. higher than the height of a very tall tree . T he wit ness, who is person ally known to me through her daughter and grandson, unfortunately did not stop to investigate. Instead, she continued on right under neath the object which , she said, seemed to be spread entirely over the width of the wide roadway. The two colored lights seemed to be shining only forwards , and to be from 4 to 6 feet from the extrem-
