C.” 2 Takes too long. And besides you may be investigated by the FBI. A woman out in Los Angeles |(name withheld by various Gov- ‘ernment agencies) dashed off a note on January 15, It said: “Confidential Files “Wash., D. C. Dear Sirs—Please send me a bulletin of flying saucers, or the jaddress where I can get infor- mation about them. I am inclos- ‘ing 10 cents, “Thanks.”, Seemed like a simple, direct approach—except for the ad- | |dress. ‘The post office, casting ‘about | {for Some Federal agency that MAR 98 408 Log Te ido Files’ Gers” i) jmight have confidential files, sent it to the Federal Bureau) of Investigation. The FBI, never one to pass out military secrets, made dis- creet inquiries. Then the FBI forwarded the letter to the Air Force, advising that nothing derogatory or 4n- dicative of subversion could be found in the woman’s activities. So the Air Force reached into its nonclassified files and plucked out the latest summary on the number of sightings of UFO (un- identified flying objects), to- gether with an explanation of why people think they see flying saucers—or what it is they sec, which the Air Force can or can’t, explain. The lady’s 10 cents was taped to the summary and both were mailed to her address in Los ‘Angeles. ey yew fi pons Belmont Mason — Gauls Sata VA (amr arsons = Rosen Tamm Nease Winterrowd Tele.
