Dear Mr. Roover:-
I know thqt you are a very bugy un but. do you
suppose thet you could enlighten me on tt followin subject,
R nd am 15 years
My name 18
of age and am a student at Technical High choot here in
Spr ingfie ld , Me s sachusett8 ,
Recently I been.me very interested an one of the
most ammztnr, of onr tim, the phenomena of the flying
eaueers. In boov %håeh I have Suat read, entitled "flying
gaucers uncensored" written by Harold T. Wilkins, the author
tells of mqny cases and 813htlnp.s of flying saucers vhich
correspondents around the world have sent him.
One story which he receivöd from a corre8pondent In California,
tells the story of two men who 8upposediy came from Venue and
vent to a Los Anca lee JournaliRt in March 1953. These men did
strange thinp•.s which sotnoone so suspicious that; he suppo—
sedly cont*cted the F.B.I., vhich Is supposed to have sent an
Invesbigqtor to finn out. what was got-nc on, but in some 8trange
the Venus inns by ur. .tng', telepethic power or some 8trunce
faculty of prev.tgfttn return to the office again. It
emid that; F.B.I. never to f Ind them for question—
I wonder If this story is true, and If you
were •e" I ly notified. I know of you were notified you oouldhtt
tell me anytlne about. the incident but I am very ouriove,
fled and if
Could you possib{y tell me you •ere noti—
the story is true.
I would appreciate hearing from you,
Yours truly,

   If you can get some quicksilver,

Mr. Hoover - would you please
help me? Can you have some
F.B.I. men watch?
   Starting July 26th, during the entire
time the moon is out, I need
qualified watchers whose sanity
is unquestioned. The same men
must keep watch, so that they
can begin to comprehend the various

"Saucers and more."
   Supply them with the following
equipment so you'll know
it's no trick!

your F.B.I. chief here - The
manufacturer has gone out of
business! (The lipstick case is
empty, About 8.50) It does not have
[illegible] qualities -
   1 Combination magnifying glass,
magnifying mirror, compass, fire
starter from Thorenden's, N.Y.C.
about 3.00.
   They will give you a very cheap
souvenir telescope. If they don't
buy one. You'll need it. Don't
buy a gold telescope! It only
magnifies glass.

Optional - any kind of gold metal-
plates, Tubes, etc. Gold foil.

[illegible salutation]
   [Your] letter was received [on] Nov. 12, 1953. Thank you very much
for supplying and offering your aid. We also wish to thank Mrs. Bou-
[cher] ...
[illegible] our new address has changed. Until further
notice it will be as shown in the upper right hand corner.
   [At] the present time our research activities are being kept
secret. [However] at a time in the future when we have no need to
use this security measure, I will personally write and inform you
of what we were and possibly are doing. Our research does have a
connection with the "flying saucer", although it is at present a
secondary issue. The main body of our research is with electric
fields. (It is not a "copy" of what Keyhoe mentioned in his recent
book relating to the Canadian Project. The research with which we
are concerned has been carried on for many years now by a research
foundation in western United States - which is not connected to us.)
The "flying saucer" reports are of value to us because they may
give clues toward the investigation of various phases in our re-
search.
   [We] have told you these things so that you might understand
the need for our receiving saucer reports, also because you are no
doubt curious about our activities. (Every once in a while I will
inform you of our activity.) Because you and Mrs. Boucher are taking
the time and trouble to help us - in turn, we wish to cooperate as
best we can to in some way return the favor. So, do not hesitate in
calling on us in the future.

                                Yours truly,
                                Charles A. Yost [signature]

SAUCERS HARASS EARTH; FEAR OF WORLD PANIC FORCES INTERNATIO>
ENSORSHIP: Behind the Mask o Comedy is tragedy -- the tragedy of censo:
ship; on stage is the "Flying Saucer" whose misfortune of name has heid it Iud
crously before the public eye since Ken Arnold announced "nine saucer-like
things" flying near Mt. Ranier {n 1947.
"Saucers" in their true dimension are less ludicrous to world governments.
Working in cooperative secrecy they have enforced a bowstring-tight conspir-
acy of censorship. A recent example is :ound in this writer's correspondence
with the Chilean Naval Mission in Washington, D. C. To quote their reply of
December 23, 1953:
"We are pleased to acknowledge receipt of your letter .
regarding the photo
graphs showing UFO's in formational flight, which you mention were taken by
Captain Or rego of the Chilean Navy near Antarctica in 1548.
'Regarding this matter we wish to inform you that recently we received a come
munication from Capt. Or rego stating that he had not seen any UFO's over the
Antarctica in therefore, the photographs requested by you do not exist....
(Signed) Harold Nagel, Captain
Chief of the Chilean Naval Mission.
Going back into old files I find that Capt. Augusto Or rego said:" During the brigh
antarctic night- we saw flying saucers, one above the other, turning at tremen-
doua speeds. We have photographs to prove what we saw,
And now, the proof of Chilean contradiction, thus censorship. Hel
I refer to Major Keyhoe's recent book. He says: ' 'Later, when I requested cop
'from the Chilean Embassy in Washington I was told that the pictures ( Captain
Orrego'e) were classified. "
Editor: For the pictures to be classified they first had tgexist. Why, during
December, did they fail to exist? Does this tie in with the U. S. Air Foree's
sudden security ruling, which I learned by letter from A TIC, Wright-Patterso:

What happened in those yestermonth skies? Why do our Air Force and Centra
Intelligence bend over backwards to circumvent the truth about flying saucersf
Why do foreign governments self-contradict themselves? Are they hiding supe
saucer missiles of their own . , .
or, are they all just being cooperative to con
ceal some great American weapon? Hardly'
Thc answer is in the skies today . ,

I firs' reported these two mys
terious earth satellites in my April Newsletter .
then again, following Lt.
Col. O'Mara's admission to me, June 8, that a govt. project was tracking the
object' but that the evidence was conflicting.
X heard nothing more until Aug. 3 when Edward W. Hermann. special agent for
McGraw-Hill Publications, told me Dave Anderton, Engineering Editor of
Aviation Week, had received a report from Dr. Lincoln La Paz regaräng the
that it would t 'appear in detail in a coming issue, that a
correspondent friend, Ted Bloecher of New York, tells me he tried dozens of
newstands for the magazine, but to no avail ( indicating a sudden scarcity) I
wili quote the August 23. 1954 issue of Aviation Week:
"Pentagon scare over the observqnce of two previously unobserved satellite
orbiting the earth had dissipated-with the identification of the objects as
tural& not artificial satellites. Dr. Lincoln La Paz
headed the identifieatic
project. One satellite is orbiting about 400 miles out while the other track is
600 miles from the earth. Pentagon thought the Russians had beaten the U. S.
•o space operations.
Now. the rest of the storyt thanks to Ted Bioecher. Says Ted: "Being of a
nature that is naturally suspicious of anything printed. I wrote Dr. La Paz and
requested that he verify this release. I received an answe? yesterday. (Sept.
In his letter, Dr. La Paz regrets Aviation Week's misleading satellite
story has received such widesoread and uncritical publicity. t Enclosed also
was the letter he (La Paz) had written to A. F. Strangely enovgh, the papere
were content with carrying the false report. for I've seen no mention of Dr.
Pazts correction on this report.
Following is copy of letter, in part, by Dr. La Paz, tothe Associated Press:
"Scientifically and militarily, the search for nearby satellites of the earth is
one of the most important on which mankind has ever embarked. It is there•
fore unfortunate. although not surprising, that false rumors are bound to be
circulated in regard to the nature and results of this search.
regards the Aviation Week story on the satellite search, summarized in
the A. P. release shown me, it is false in every particular insofar as referenci
to mc concerned...
No one representing Aviation Week 'has questioned me
concerning any possible connection I may have with the satellite search progral
and no one whatever has been authorized to credit me with the activities attrib-
uted to me in the Aviation Week story. "

JET "EXPLODES" CHASING UFO NEAR UTICA N, Y. : The gamy but nuce

Kansas. They correlated the loose ends:

"scramble" to investigate an "unidentified aircraft", plunged into tiny Wales
eleven miles southwest of Utica, about 12:30 P.M. , July 2, 1954, The p!ane
crashed into an auto and two buildings killing four persons.
The Air Force in Washington announced the F-94•C Starfire had been sent ut
on ' 'an active air defense intercept mission, according to thc U.P. releas
of July 3, "Aire Force spokesmen said the cockpit of the plane ,
became u:
bearably hot during the flight and that the pilot ordered his radar observer
bail out then bailed out hixnseif at 7000 ft. "
According to the A. P. release in New York Times July 3, U Tbe air base (Gi
AFB) said, ' that fuel in the burning plane apparently had exploded when the
crashed. They said it had not been determined whether an explosion occurri
while the jet was in the air."
"Later, " according to A. P.• "an AF spokesman in Washington said the intex
cepted plane was one that had failed to file a flight plan with C, A.A. or, one
that drifted off its announced flight path. t'
The U. P. and A. P. stories of disaster were essentialb true, but because o:
"disaster" angle they designated the pursued object as a ' 'plane" rather than
UFO. Ted Bloecber, who did some checking, told me that his friend, Ed
Wilkenson, listened to a broadcast which described the incident, thus: "The
Jet had successfully contacted the UFO but still could not identify it, "

Mr. Meany, AFL President. CRIFO owes a lot to Frank Edwards, so I wro
Frank recently and asked him for a statement. Here is Frank's reply of
August 26, 1954 in part:
"The facts are that for a long time I had been fighting the encroachrnent of
sorship imposed by Meany. The final straw came when on Aug. 2nd this yea:

Readers will be interested to know that Frank Edwards has written an articl
entitled "SPIES IN THE SKIES?" which is to appear in the Nov. issue of Re;

greatest news sto*y of oür times." DON'T MISS IT t
MYSTERY METAL IGNITES ROAD: Woodside, California officials and resi
dents were baffled by a shower of white-hot metal pellets, Aug. 27, 1954. Tk
furore was triggered when a woman motorist saw a *'circle of fire" along
Pertola Road. Later firemen found scores of small pieces of naming metal
burning the pavement over an area about 70 by 250 feet, The blacktop bubble
where the metal burned into it and grass fires were started where the meta]
burned along the shoulders of the highway. A resident, Ignacio Miramonte:
reported hearing a loud explosion about 4: 15 P. M. , saw nothing.
According to U. P. release, "Metallurgists and AFofficia1s offered no soluti0'
for the white-hot pellets. ' 'San Mateo official' reported the pellets ranging in ai
from a dirne to a 50 cent piece, and according to Woodside Fire Chief, John
Volpaino, the metal shower burned holes in the road surface a quarter of an
inch deep. t 'I just can't figure it out, " he said, ' 'It has me completely mysti
fied. " Deputy Sheriff Robert Benassini said the metal scraps had iireguiar
marking and appeared to have come from a "cylindrical object.
An Air Force spokesman advanced the theory, the metal came from Jet plant
exhaust pipes which reach extreme temperatures in flight, However, a Chee
with air bases disclosed no military jets were in the bay area Friday. (Than
to Perry G. Powers of Duarte and an unnamed informant who sent in the stot
from San Francisco Call Bulletin. )
THE "SPLOTCHED MYSTERY": on the same date ia
north 0fSan Francisco County line,
residents were barned by a "splotched paint mystery'! About half of the approx
mate 300 homes in the area were affected. One white stucco house pi.nk

E CNCNNATI PAINT NCIDENT -- A PARALLEL PHENOMENON?
Residents in Cincinnati, Sept. II, '54 had similar experiences. One A1 ert
Ailgeyer came home from work to find the bright yellow trim on his two-'to
bouse stained to a "washed-out brown, almost black color. " The stains woul
the é.nn T•
bad used a blow-torch, and in some places the stains appeared in dirty bro*
rivulets, Allgeyer was certain that the stains weren't there the night before
So vas Howard May, who received similar treatrnent. HiÖhouse
trimmed in yellow too, is another bouse across the •treet where stains
appeared.
On Sept. 22, I talked with Allgeyer again and learned that the Kettering Lab a
University of Cincinnati had taken air samples as well as specimens of the a
fected paint. A Dr. Hughes explained that the mystery was caused by the ch
cal reaction of hydrogen sulphide which could attack the lead in certain paint
The Lab averred that the chemicat probably emanated from the Millcreek Va
which runs near Altgeyer'c home, and which has since affected other homes
the area, Although • Proctor and Gamble doctor who examined Allgeyer
him that the chemical mentioned is not injurious to people, Allgeyer, five d'
after the incident comnlained of extreme swelling of both hands and eye lids.
Described as some kind of allergy
not hives, they offered no explanation.

Vlaco. At the tirne it disappeared at 11:15, it had travelled more than the 2!

Dear Mr. Hoover,
Just recently I bought a copy the magazine, "Real. "
This issue had a great deal of pictures about unidentified flying
objects and it also had a photo two F, B. I, leading a silver-
clad man, about one and a half to two feet tall, dmvn an american
street. I know this sounds extraordinary, but this is what it had.
The phpto was probably faked but I wanted to be sure. Please

There appears to be
yearly review of captioned matter.
In 1958 ve adopted the practice of once a year reviewing
complaints received concerning existence of flying saucers for the
purpose of determining whether instructions in addition to those
already issued to the field vere necessary. The last memorandt.xm
dated 10/2/62 pointed out that our policy concerning u•aidentified
flying objects was to conduct no investigation when received in
the field but the .field should submit the facts {mediately to
the Air Force, OGr SAC letters dated in 1949 and in 1952 emphasized
the afore-mentioned policy and it does not appear that at this
time further instroctions to the field are necessary.
mring the past 12 months ve have received no complaints
regarding flying saucers and during the past 24 months only one
complaint vas received, the facts of which were
referred to the Ait Force,

Since it does not appear that continuation of our yearly
