F.O (Flying Saucers) Several weeks ago a fellow employee received a letter (business) from Arizona with a stamp on the back (see enclosed) Being interested in U. F.O's I asked for the stamp & sent $3.00 for the 12 issues of AFSCA. Having received & read my first issue I feel it isn't just what it appears on the surface. I can't say just why, but with my limited idea of how communists operate it strikes me it is backed by them. My reason for writing this is that I consider myself a true American, I am told my ancestors go back to a Gr Gr Gr Grandmother who was an Indian Squaw & I'm proud of it. If, by writing for this AFSCA Report, my name could in anyway be aligned with the communist party, I would like to know if there is any way I can get things straightened out. I may be all wrong about my interpretation of this report but I'd like to be sure since I expect I will get the other issues as they come up. I will be 63 yrs old in a few days. My husband passed away 4-30-65 I have worked as Mgr of Reins Dept for the N. H. Ins Co in Manchester N. H 44 years this month Very truly yours, (Mrs) Florence C. Dow Mrs. Levi J.

SAUCER NEWS CLIPPINGS: Your response has been wonderful! We've received so many clippings from you helpful people that we simply hadn't enough space to print all your individual names and cities. So we say a big and sincere THANKS to all of you. And please do keep 'em coming! (One reminder: please DON'T write on or near the clippings.) WEDDING BELLS rang on Saturday, June 4, 1966 for contactee Elary J. Willsie and Sophia Martinez Olivares of Mexico City. The ceremony took place at Los Angeles, California.

Mr. and Mrs. Willsie will live in Los Angeles. Congratulations and best wishes, Elary and Sophia! MEL NOEL, former Air Force Lieutenant and fighter pilot, is fast becoming very well known for his lectures on his amazing experiences with Flying Saucers while on active duty in the service. He has been speaking to capacity crowds wherever he goes. On Thursday, June 23, 1966, the personable Mr. Noel spoke to a standing-room only crowd at the Aeronautical Sciences Building on Beverly Blvd. in West Los Angeles. We hear that he is booked to speak at 57 colleges across the nation! Recently he appeared on the Louis Lomax TV Show, and has been heard on many radio shows. He leaves shortly for Mexico City, where he has been invited by an official government group to speak. He has been promised some interesting experiences by a local contactee there, and we look forward to hearing his report on his return! Good work, Mel, and good luck! SID PADRICK, contactee from Watsonville, Calif., who spent two hours aboard a space craft, was recently in Los Angeles when he was guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Inglewood Unit of Understanding on Saturday, June 25, 1966.

OUR NEW NAME: Our magazine, formerly called "UFO International", has now become "Flying Saucers International", which we feel to be a more appropriate title, since Flying Saucers are no longer Unidentified Flying Objects as far as we are concerned. Flying Saucers have become a serious issue with thinking people all over the world. We believe that most of the objects which have been sighted have been of extraterrestrial origin, controlled by intelligent beings who, in form, are very much like us. Therefore, we hope you will understand our reasons for changing titles, and that you will continue to enjoy reading our publication under its new banner. DR. RAYMOND BERNARD, founder of the Biosophical Society of Santa Caterina, Brazil, passed away on Sept. 10, 1965. He was the author of "The Hollow Earth" and several other books concerned with the hollow earth theory. MARIA ELLIOTT, contactee, psychic and founder of Maria Creative Womanhood Foundation, was a recent guest on the Bob Grant Radio Show, and the Pamela Mason TV Show. Glamorous Maria now has her own program every Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. on KTYM radio. She may be seen in person every evening on Wed. at Holland House Restaurant, 8:00 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room. An interesting program may be heard on New Age Topics, and free readings are given. For more information about Maria's appearances, classes, etc., phone 657-1631, or write: Dr. Maria Elliott; 1543 Sunset Plaza Drive; Los Angeles, Calif. 90069. DR. GEORGE KING, founder of the Aetherius Society, was host at the official opening of the Society's new headquarters at 6202 Afton Place; Los Angeles, Calif. 90028; on March 5, 1966. After the program Dr. King personally escorted us around the attractive quarters. He also reported that a high Space Being in physical form had visited there recently for an hour and fifteen minutes and, after walking around the premises, left his blessing on the Aetherius Society and its work. For further information call 465-9652, or write to the above address. DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the guiding light and main instigator of Flying Saucer meetings and activities in the San Francisco Bay Area, passed away on October 25, 1965. She was 70 years old. She will be remembered for her energetic and enthusiastic dedication to the goals of the Flying Saucer cause, as well as for the highly successful annual Northern California Space Craft Conventions which she organized for nine years. (Della, we salute you!) MAX MILLER, former publisher of the now-defunct "Saucers" magazine, and author of "Flying Saucers: Fact or Fiction" (now out of print), has a new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" magazine which may be found on the newsstands for 50¢. The August '66 issue devotes about half of its space to the Flying Saucer subject and will be well worth your investigation. WILBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channel contacts with several Space Beings, including Monka of Mars. He also was the co-author - with his wife, Evelyn - of the book "We of the New Dimension." Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and of Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!) HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P. O. Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Independence went out completely for several minutes by a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the same manner. During this time, the Space Being speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection will be given to those in the area." HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on the Joe Pyne TV Show, April 30, 1966. Hal passed the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted himself with dignity and fortitude, which isn't always easy on the Joe Pyne Show. During the test, Hal stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the second planet from the star, Alpha Centauri. M. I. N. D. stands for Mental Investigations of New Dimensions, an organization recently formed by Wesley and JoNell Bateman. Their activities include meetings, courses and public appearances. They have demonstrated on several occasions for groups of up to 20 people, their ability to telepathically direct the movements of visable spacecraft overhead. Write: M. I. N. D.; 4916 Franklin Ave.; Hollywood, California 90027. Phone: 661-1731. HELEN & GABRIEL GREEN contributed their bit to the education of nearly 300,000 young people to the saucer subject at the Teen-Age Fair, April 1 thru 10 at the Hollywood Palladium, where AFSCA had a booth to exhibit saucer photos, show slides, and to disseminate information. We handed out over 13,000 brochures and saucer photo post cards, and talked ourselves hoarse answering questions for 12 hours each day. Gabriel also made over a dozen radio and TV appearances and interviews during the Fair. We also had another booth at the National Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Pan Pacific Auditorium, May 17 thru 22. Yes, we've been busy! 14 [Text present — not reproduced: continuation of the contactee-channeled message and political commentary from the previous spread, signed "Kalen-Li Retan"] 3 [PAGE 11] THIRD NATIONAL CONVENTION JULY 8, 9, 10, 1966 Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America CENTENNIAL COLISEUM RENO, NEVADA FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1966 TIME / MAIN HALL / GOLD ROOM 9AM REGISTRATION: ($2.00 per day).

The Philadelphia Division received the magazine from Mr. JARVIS H. COOPER, IRS, 401 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 9/19/66. Mr. COOPER stated he subscribed to the magazine because his son had exhibited an interest in flying saucers and outer space. He said that on pages 2 and 3 of Issue No. 24 was an article which he believed expounded the Communist Party (CP) line. For the information of the Bureau, the International Headquarters of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. is located at 2004 North Hoover Street, Los Angeles, California. The article, on pages 2 and 3, were allegedly written by Master KALEN-LI RETAN, Head of the planet KORENDOR, which was received on 5/4/66 by special directional short-wave radio by BOB RENAUD. The indices of the Los Angeles Division contain no information identifiable with RENAUD, and no investigation has ever been conducted on captioned organization. No further action is contemplated in this matter by the Los Angeles Office, UACB.

The Air Force has maintained that the sightings have been gas, light, weather, etc. but by talking to some of the people that have seen U.F.O.'s I'm wondering if the Air Force isn't lying. I'm not the only one wondering this, for the people that I have talked to say that after the Michigan sightings and the others they would not report it to the Air Force if they did see a U.F.O.. Reports say that even F.B.I. Agents have seen U.F.O.'s and this has been denied by the Air Force. The report recently about the police officer in Ohio or Penn. having serious family trouble as well as being ridiculed by people because of his sighting, along with a fellow police officer, of a U.F.O.. I see by this that the faith in our Air Force is beginning a [illegible]line and if this is so then we may be putting ourselves in the terrible position, as did Nazi Germany in the 1930's.

Enclosed are copies of an article entitled "Armed Forces - Focus on UFO", which was published in the This World supplement of the San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle, Sunday, October 16, 1966. This article deals with the current controversy over the existence or nonexistence of flying saucers or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and quotes Michigan's Congressional Representative GERALD FORD as suggesting that Congress look into UFOs; also it announces that the Air Force, which is charged with investigating UFOs, has commissioned the University of Colorado and Physics Professor EDWARD U. CONDON to conduct an in-depth study of flying saucers for the next 18 months, at an estimated cost of $300,000. The article also points out that since last summer pressure has been mounting for the establishment of an independent, civilian controlled investigative agency to look into the UFO problem. Also, for the Bureau's information, there was recently published (first printing June 1966) a book entitled "Flying Saucers - Serious Business", Lyle Stuart, Inc., publishers, authored by Frank Edwards. This book is now in its third edition and is available in paperback, published by Bantam Books, and it is probably a contributing factor to the current controversy. In this book author Edwards points out that flying saucers were observed in the spring of 1946, in Scandinavia and Russia (which he points out is about a year from the date of the testing of the Alamogordo atomic bomb), and the book 3 - Bureau (Encls. 3) 1 - Denver (Encl. 1) 1 - San Francisco DET:lms (5) ENCLOSURE REC 53 62-83894-451 3 OCT 21 1966 EX-114 NAT.

You replied saying that agents investigated these cases to determine whether any Federal law had been broken and that their findings were confidential as were all other FBI records. Since receiving your letter which was placed in my records, many of my records including your letter were destroyed recently in a fire at my home and I would therefore be grateful if, for the purposes of my new records, confirm your letter of 1964/5 if the situation is still the same.

[Text present — not reproduced: self-deprecating remark by the writer about his reason for mentioning his position] You seemingly do not know or utterly disreguard the following subject. I had hoped that you might make a statement before now on this subject. I have waited many years to see your opinion in print, but nothing of the sort has happened. I am speaking of the UFO's or unidentified flying objects before long and it is a matter of time you are going to be scooped so to speak on this subject. Sir I happen to know they exist nI have personally seen two of them. One of these sightings under low cloud cover in daylight. (I am not sure as to the cloud height). The other at prehaps two thousand feet altitude and appx. one mile off. You may not be interested ? But I think this may be vital to the security of the United States and if it is vital I am sure that you are now familiar with and working on this problem. If I am correct and these things do land I am greatly con--cerned as to what kind of reception they might receive from the inhabitance of this country. I am convinced after a great deal of thought that someone of your standing in this country should let the people know what is happening as reguards these things. PS. If this is out of your line of duty I am sorry to bother you. Sincerely Yours Joe Thorn Police Chief Princeton, West Virginia.

Collins, 212 Sharon Drive, Chesapeake, Virginia, telephone 547-4648, advised that he desired to report that he had observed a large oblong-shaped object which alighted in the street in front of him when he was on his way home from his television repair shop, the Oak Grove T. V., 6424 Great Bridge Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. He believes that he was taken into this craft which he recalls as being made of a glass like substance and being transparent. It was manned by several individuals who appeared to be undersized creatures similar to members of the human race, probably not more than 4 feet tall. They were allegedly wearing regular trouser pants and T-Shirts. Collins believes that he was transported by this craft for an undetermined distance and returned to his point of take-off approximately one hour later. Collins spoke in a coherent manner although [Text present — not reproduced: remark on the witness's emotional state]. He claimed he had not been drinking any intoxicants but he was unable to account for the time between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.. He stated he was telephoning from his workshop but had no recollection of being elsewhere between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. The above is being furnished for your information. NOTE: Collins furnished information to night supervisor SA A. R. Ware, Special Investigative Division.

PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING FLYING SAUCERS A review of the Miami indices revealed information reflecting subject appeared at the Miami Office on July 24, 1959, and volunteered to return to Austria as an intelligence agent. His expressed motivation was to do something to repay the debt he felt he owed the United States. He was afforded the Washington, D. C. Headquarters address of the Central Intelligence Agency and told his inquiry should be directed there. [Text present — not reproduced: paragraph describing a 1961 visit to the Miami Office and the agent's impression of the visitor's state of mind] During his most recent visit to the Miami Office, PEYERL seemed genuinely concerned about the existence of the object he allegedly photographed during November, 1944. [Text present — not reproduced: remark on the subject's mental condition] In view of recent publicity afforded UFO sightings, some apparently by responsible sources, this information is submitted to the Bureau for consideration of transmittal to the U.

PEYERL, 1430 Southwest 76th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared at the Miami Office and furnished the following information relating to an object, presently referred to as an unidentified flying object, he allegedly photographed during November, 1944: Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he was released from this duty and was assigned as a test pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria. During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft. He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was PEYERL's responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication. Also, a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on the last page. According to PEYERL, the above aircraft was designed and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown to him. He assumed KUEHR was taken into custody by Allied Forces upon the termination of hostilities. PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo ENCLOSURE 62-83894-460 [PAGE 64] RE: PAUL L. PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING in Vienna, Austria, sometime during late 1943 or early 1944. PEYERL also assumed the secrets pertaining to this aircraft were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26 airplane. He furnished the following fuel and engine data: "....Fuel mixture of N2H4O in Methyl Alcohol (CH3OH) rather than 'oxygen-holding' mixture of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in water. 7m 1,3m high two rocket motors; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000 meters per second...." PEYERL said he copied this data from a board located in the hanger area. PEYERL asserted he was shot down by the British on March 14, 1945, after having been reassigned to the Western Front. He was held prisoner by the British in London and later in Brussels until his release in 1946. He departed for the United States from Bremerhaven, Germany, on December 26, 1951; entering the United States in New Jersey on January 7, 1952, and was subsequently naturalized in Miami during 1958. He is presently employed as a mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida. [Text present — not reproduced: personal identifiers (date of birth)] PEYERL stated he has withheld this information because he assumed the United States possessed it. He has become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed reports concerning a similar object and denials the United States has such an aircraft. He feels such a weapon would be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The book relates to Unidentified Aerial Objects (UAO) which SANDERSON states will soon be published in magazine form on a nation-wide basis. SANDERSON, who claims to have written several books, is a graduate of Oxford in England and has various degrees. He states that he has appeared on the Gary Moore Show and other types of television projects.

Dear Mr. Hoover: A very Happy Birthday....... July 1967. I am very Lucky to have the opportunity this afternoon to be able to Introduce to you the ufo contact igap journal. This magazine has been dedicated to Mr. George Adamski. My letter to you and the enclosed magazine is a project of my own. I am a reporter for ufo contact, and in this way I hope to bring to the attention of V.I.P. of our country, our magazine and the message that it contains, to the reader. I don't sell the magazine, but plan to give it to the person I write to as a gift. The cost is my own, and the experience I will gain will be my reward, perhaps an advancement to the position of co-worker for IGAP in the future. Thank you very much for giving me a moment of your time. I am sure you will find our magazine interesting. May I again wish you a very Happy Birthday!

A subcommittee of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenonema, (NICAP), has recently been established in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. NICAP is a private, non-profit organization directed by Major Donald E. Keyhoe, USMC (Ret) from the National Headquarters in Washington, D. C. The purpose of the organization is to conduct scientific investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects. It now has 14,000 associate members in 50 states. The organization is not interested in the alleged psychic, occult, mystical, or religious aspects of UFO phenomena. 2. NICAP subcommittees, of which there are 30 in the United States, are composed of qualified individuals in technical or investigative fields, who are selected and appointed by the Washington office. 3. NICAP is currently working closely with the Colorado Project, a comprehensive study of UFO's begun in November 1966, by a group of distinguished scientists at the University of Colorado under a U. S. Air Force contract. 4. The local subcommittee earnestly solicits your support in reporting to the Committee Chairman any UFO sightings occuring in this area. It is especially important that the NICAP committee be contacted immediately in cases of reported UFO sightings where photographs have been taken or physical evidence remains after the observation.

[handwritten: Flying Saucers; See 149-2988-62] Dear Mr. Hoover: December 7, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed. I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover informed me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be forwarded to them, the C.A.B. In the month of March, 1965, the C.A.B., released a report that this accident and cause was due to a lightning strike. I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations. Upon reading the Official C.A.B. report on this accident and also this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have missed the point completely. [Text present — not reproduced: writer's personal theory about the cause of the crash] To substantiate my claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line 24 inclusive of this report File #1-0015.

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 "bolide". Almost all very 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 Observatory here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for analysis of visual observations of bright meteors. Since it is very 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, Richard B.

His letter was written on a new letterhead containing the same address and the same reference to membership in the "National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena" and adding "Associate Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics."

Dear Sirs: In approximately seven months or January, 1972, certain copies of top-secret documents shall be sent to the New York Times as well as two other newspapers. These documents are related to and will be an ostentation of the involvement of the pentagon in the controversial "Unidentified Flying Objects" or "Flying Saucer" subject. It will show that not only the U.S. Air Force was involved in UFO research but the other military branches as well. Analysis and the actual conclusions of the classic UFO cases shall be revealed. This shall be accomplished by zeroxed documents and photographs that General Wolfe had reviewed when he was head of the Army's UFO support program in the Pentagon during the Eisenhower years. Sorry, but it is concluded here that this is the best course to take because we feel that the secret UFO investigations are parallel in nature to the Times-Pentagon Vietnam controversy.

Halty, Intelligence Division received a call via Command Center telephone from a Major Horn, NMCC (National Military Command Center). Major Horn asked for any information the FBI might have concerning a report that an unidentified object which fell from the sky at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, had been recovered by local police and turned over to the Milwaukee Office of the FBI. No information available at Intelligence Division. Night Duty Supervisor Harry E. Morris, Jr., called SPC Robert Koller, Milwaukee Office, who advised an unidentified object had been recovered by Milwaukee police at about 5:55 p.m., 8/21/74, but that it was still in possession of police. He said a Captain Wills of the Milwaukee Police Department had called the Milwaukee FBI Office to report the recovery. Very little was known about the object which was described as about 13 x 8 x 5 inches, metallic in substance and color, jagged on one side and had an "internal heat source." Police notified military locally. Above information was relayed to Major Horn with suggestion he might like to contact Captain Wills, Milwaukee Police Department.

SUBJECT: WHITE HOUSE INQUIRY RE UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS (UFO) Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science and Technology, 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 is 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 conduct any inquiries upon receipt of information relating to a UFO sighting and, 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 that if any further contact was necessary he would call back. ACTION: None. For information.
