"I am a member of 'Nicap' and am very much interested in U.F.O (Flying Saucers)"

"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."

Hennessey stated he had previously written Hoover inquiring why FBI agents investigated reported UFO landings and requested data on their findings. He noted receiving Hoover's response indicating agents investigated to determine if Federal laws were violated and findings were confidential. Hennessey mentioned recent loss of records in home fire and requested confirmation if situation still the same.

## Dates

## People

## Organizations

## Observations

Hoover responded to Hennessey's inquiry regarding whether FBI conducted investigations of unidentified flying objects, clarifying that such investigation would not come within FBI investigative jurisdiction. Hoover indicated that presence of an Agent was simply to determine whether any Federal law violation may have occurred, and for no other reason. Hoover stated FBI must maintain files as confidential in accordance with regulations of Department of Justice.

## Assessments

Hoover's response makes clear FBI does not conduct independent UFO investigations and only becomes involved if Federal law violations are implicated. All information must remain confidential.

On April 24, 1964, an unidentified flying object was sighted near Socorro, New Mexico. Captain Holder (USAF) along with SA Byrnes interviewed Officer Lonnie Zamora of Socorro Police Department who had observed the phenomena. SA Byrnes typed a statement from Zamora which was later included in a memo for dissemination.

## Assessments

FBI Albuquerque Office did not conduct any investigation other than to keep the Bureau advised and maintain liaison with the Air Force. This activity apparently relates to Hennessey's prior correspondence.

"What could we see and hear on this 'celestial' television? Hoyle, in his new book, 'Of Men and Galaxies' (University of Washington Press), says some of these outer space civilizations have evolved further than we and would therefore be able to tell us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war."

Technical engineering analysis of UFO scout-craft configuration by Leonard G. Cramp, M.S.I.A., A.R.Ae.S.

## Author/Engineer

## Book Reviewed

"Piece for a Jig-saw" - 27 shillings 6 pence

## Technical Analysis Summary

Cramp conducted 12+ year engineering study analyzing hundreds of reported UFO sightings with associated maneuver and flight pattern details. Using purely engineering principles, produced ideal form for visiting "saucer."

### Progressive Analysis Method

### Result

Final saucer design matches Adamski scout-craft configuration in all respects.

## Scientific Corroboration

Cramp compared engineering data provided by Adamski with independently derived configurations. Found:

1. **Adamski-type saucers not uncommon** in UFO reports

2. **Scout-ship configuration offers best compromise** embodying gravitational propulsion theory functions

3. **Inside description consistent with theory** - theory seems to support Adamski's account

4. **Conclusion**: "on these grounds alone I for one feel inclined to accept the first part of his experience as fact, and in my opinion any inconsistencies which appear in his subsequent claims are insufficient to invalidate the previous conclusions."

## Historical Context

## Testimonial Quote

"At this juncture I can almost hear many an Adamski sceptic breathing a sigh of incredulity, hard ly able to believe that I should dare to include such material in a semi-technical work of this nature."

## Assessment

Independent engineering analysis validates Adamski's craft descriptions despite initial skepticism about source credibility.

Pan American Flight crash and alleged UAP involvement

## Content Summary

Correspondent reports observing an unusual object in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey on December 7, 1963. On December 8, 1963, a Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and crew of eight crashed near Elkton, Maryland. Writer claims the object he observed was laying air mines and that the aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines. He references CAB Report File #1-0015 (Boeing 707-121 N709PA Pan American World Airways), specifically pages 8, lines 20-24, which reference metal splatters on stabilizer. Writer claims metal composition did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. Letter contains annotation "Flying Saucers" at top and handwritten reference numbers.

Alleged missile design and technical analysis

## Key Claims and Content

1. References specific CAB Report data: "Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows: (Metal splatters on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer were identified by spectrographic analysis as being formed from two different aluminum alloys. However, these alloys could not be identified since the chemical composition of the deposits did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to 4 degrees outboard.)"

2. Second observation: July 18, 1964 - correspondent made another observation and sent details to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Notes this sighting was "Astronomical not a man made object."

3. Claims both observations shared common element: color.

4. Conclusions from hundreds of experiments:

- Object was not astronomical in any way

- Object was not a Flying Saucer

- Object was a "cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a Meteor or as a Flying Saucer"

- Missile failed to operate as planned, allowing detailed observation

5. Eight characteristics determined through experiments:

- Where they get tremendous speed from

- Wobbling effect

- Oscillation about vertical axis

- Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust

- Whooshing, wheezing, humming noise on occasions

- Different colors

- Pulsating light/luminous appearance

- Different forms and shapes

6. Allegation: "These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South Americas by Russia"

7. Social consequence: "Anyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities."

2. Responsibility assessment: "The present situation can be blamed upon the various governmental agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who have reported these sightings."

3. Threat assessment: "Now we are about to pay with 60,000,000 American lives or more. 'Some price'."

4. Proposed solution: "Our one hope is that Russia and China will go to war against one another. This then will give us time to created an effective and efficient Radar system that cannot be penetrated."

Astronomical explanation for alleged UAP observation

## Content Summary

Richard B. Southworth of Harvard College Observatory responds to Edward A. Stewart, Jr.'s July 1964 observation report. Key points:

1. "The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes called a 'fireball' or a 'bolide'."

2. "Almost all very bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments of asteroids."

3. "The direction of motion of your meteor is consistent with that sort of orbit."

4. "A good many bright meteors strike the earth each day, but most go unnoticed."

5. "We have received another report of the same meteor from Wilmington, Delaware."

6. Observation being forwarded 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."

7. "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."
