•This is the conclusion reached as the result of a study begun by

Comentitw on this study, National Director rof Aerial Phenomena

aidered in this study did not contain scientific measurements of gaoh

_Anaiyzed and arranged, the data did show a narked pattern,
•on basis of this marked pattern of the data, A"' has
concluded that a high percentage of the more than 5,000 accounts of
unidentified flying objects examined In this study represent observ-

'Therefore, It is highly probable that many of tho unidentified

6/14/77
Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science
Tedhnology, White House, telephonically contacted me today to
inquire as to the Bureau 's procedure for handling information
received from the public or otherwise, relating to sightings
of UFOs. He advised that Jody Powell of the President's staff
has raised the question as to whether or not there 1B any
coordination within the Executive Branch relating to information
concerning this subject. He stated that the U . S. Air Force had
closed their investigation of these matters several years ago
and currently does nothing but refer such information to
appropriate local authorities .
I advised him that as far as the FBI is concerned
there appears to be no conceivable jurisdiction for us to
any inquiries upon receipt of information relating to a UFO
sighting 4nd, in the absence of some investigative jurisdiction
based upon the information furnished, that information would be
referred to the Department of the Air Force without any action
being taken by the Bureau .
He thanked me for the information and stated

On Decernber 1969 the Secretary of the Air Force

The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based
on an evaluation of a reoort bv the University of

any indication of threat to out petional security; (2) there
has been no evidence submx t ted to or discovered by the Air
Force that sightings categorized as *unidentified" represent
technological developments or principles beyond the range Of
present day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no
evidence indicating that sightings categorized as •unidentified'
are extraterrestrial vehicles.
With thé termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force

Attached for your information is üe Project Blue Book

Dear Sirs;
Dei City,

There currently are rumors over the grapevine and
in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go
around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's.
It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officer
and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark
automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are
reported to have attemped to run down witnesses of UFO sightings, made
disturbingqalmost macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who
were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft
or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken picture
of several homes where UFO witnesses lived.
Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or' can y
refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions?
this information will help settle some disturbing questions
the readers of my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can
fully accept these rumours as facts. I need more information.
Any information you supply can ease the worries of people
who feel that the objects unknowm they see in the sky may portend the visit
of a mysterious visitor.
