This is an FBI file serial containing an October 3, 1966 memo from the Los Angeles SAC to the Director. It reports that the Philadelphia Division forwarded Issue No. 24 (July 1966) of Flying Saucers International, the journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America. A subscriber believed an article in it followed the Communist Party line. That article was a message said to come from Korendor via Bob Renaud's radio. Los Angeles had no record of Renaud and planned no further action. Attached newspaper clippings cover sightings including the Wanaque Reservoir UFOs and an 1896 Oakland airship.
