that in the beginning of the world the space people came 1

He said that the space people here on earth are '
equipped with a "crystal battery" which generates a magnetic
field about them wich bends light waves so that they, the
space people, appear invisible. He said this has resulted r
in ghost stories such as footsteps, doors opening, and otherw
such phenomena. _ ' "-; a;?.. - -. p _._.__.____,_'___ __92 _._
he stated that the space people are now gravely
concerned with our atom bombs. He said that the explosions
of these bombs have upset the earth's rotation and, as in
the instance of the French bomb explosion in North Africa,
have actually caused earthquakes. He said that the officials
on earth are aware of this and this was the reason for the
recent Geophysical Year in order to try to determine Just
what can be done. He said these explosions are forcing the
earth toward another polar tilt, which will endanger all man-
kind. He said that the space people are prepared to evacuate
those earth people who have abided by the "Golden Rule" when
the polar tilt occurs, but will leave the rest to perish.
' He advised that the space people have contacted
the officials on earth and have advised them of their concern
but this has not been made public. He also said that the
radioactive fallout has become extremely dangerous and
officials are worried but each power is so greedy of their
own power they will not agree to make peace.

U. S. Air Force, who are responsible for investigations on
unidentified flying obJacts,has surpressed information;
and as they are responsible only to the Administration, not
to the public, as elected officials are, they can get away '
with this. He said that also the Air Force is afraid that »
they will be outmoded and disbanded if such information gets

Unidentified Flying Object;
Joseph Perry, Grand Blane,

' 141-. Joseph ram, -3079 Edwards Street, Grand Blanc,.
iohigan, was contacted at his request by agents of this office
on March 5, 1960. .
Hr. Perry advised that he operates a Pizza House _
at 3075 Edwards Street, Grand Blane, and that he has been a
professional photographer for thirty years. Be explained
that he has a hobby of taking photographs of the moon through
a home-made telescope. At about 1:00 a.m. on February 21,
1960, he took some photographs of the moon and after developing
same, he put them in hie
observed what appears to
the end of his telescope
that when blown up, this

Be saidviewer and in one photograph
be a flying object somewhere
and the suface of the moon.
object is flat on the bottom, is u
to have a fluorescent glow around
the entire object, and that it is apparently moving as it
has a vapor trail running behind it.- He has taken over one
thousand pictures of the
resembling this object.moon and has never seen anything
Perry said that due to his thirty years"experience
in photograph, he is sure that what appears on the picture
is actually a flying object, and is not a malfuction of the
camera, is not a b1ur»on his telescope, and is not anything
that appears on the photo because of_tho manner in which he
developed the film; Yerry took about twenty pictures of the
moon on February 21, 1960, and after developing them, he
observed that most of the pictures were under-exposed, so he
just cut off the two that appeared to be properly exposed and
destroyed the rest. He furnished both of these pictures to _
-ee_._

took these pictures through his home-made telescope which
can go to 2,8L0 power. He estimates that at the time he
took the picture showing the flying object, that his scope
was set at between 350-#00 power. ~

The address of 5l08.Rindlay treet, Seattle 18, .Washington, is the residence of ROBERTig:IBBLE, who is
the sdidalled natignalhdirector of the rial»Phenomena '
,Rese§rQh_Group. In connectionWlth"inquiriesmade concerning
this group in 1957, GBIBBLE advised that he was regularly
employed as a fireman for the~City.of Seattle and that his
hobby is acquiring information regarding unidentified flying
objects. He advised that the Aerial Phenomena Research
Group has a national and an international membership of about -
350 members, and that they charge a membership fee of $5.00
per year for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a
publication which the group issues periodically and for other
incidental expenses of the organization. According to GRIBBLE
the organization t a non-profit one and was established
primarily as a hobby for persons like himself who were
interested in acquiring information regarding flying objects.
GRIBBLE stated that the organization was centered in Seattle,
and he provided the names of other officers, all of whom were
residents of this city. '~ = -

There is no Russian Consulate or other establishment,

recollection of the address of 5108 Findlay Street, Seattleof
'***hsving something to do with the residence of a chauffeur
for the Russian Consul in Seattle is completely erroneous.

' l ' For record purposes, SAC McMahon of the Phoenix Office 1 "
advised at 8:21 p. m. , 11/17/58, that on April 30, 1947, the above-captioned
person reported to the Phoenix Office that he had taken photographs of what
believed to be ying discs, but he did not have the negatives oi the pictures
with him, promising he would bring them into the oice the following day. On
August ao, 1941, 1 brought negatives of the photographs he allegedly is j :
took at that time into the Phoenix Office and he was advised by SA ' o
_ g _' that the negatives were being accepted by the FBI for Air Force A *
intelligence; that there was a question as he would ever get the ._
' negatives back. With this the negatives which were '.'j?.3-~
in turn turned over to military representative. _ . _.
On April 11, 1950, _contacted the Phoenix Oice for the he
return oi the negatives at which time he was advised of the statement made totum in 1947 that the negatives were accepted for Air Force intelligence and itwas doubtful 1; they would be returned, but that he should contact the omoo oi '
pecial Investigations of the Air Force, San Francisco, California. _
SAC McMahon advised that today the Arizona Republic newspaper 7
was doing a column about ying saucers having been reported over the years and .
had interviewed lsince their clips showed that he had been talked to back ' -
1947. livid the Arizona Republic that the FBI had borrowed the 1 -i .Fznegatives of films he had taken but had never returned them. SAC McMahon -1
desired advice as to what he should tell the Arizona Republic and he was o
iniormed that he should advise the paper that the negatives were received in 1947
' from .vrith the understanding they would be turned over to Air Force ' j j
intelligence and that there was doubt as to whether the negatives would ever be
returned to jam with this understanding ~eleased uio negatives;
that the negatives in question were immediately turned over to Air Force _
intelligence representatives; and that should any further information be desired
concerning the matter the Arizona Republic should contact the Oifiee of Special ;.
Investigations of the Air Force. SAC McMahon was referred to the Domestic
Intelligence Division for its concurrence. 2 _, 73 Z79 _ » _- - Q - E0-15 . 1! 3 -I 92 * ' $.'"°V 201m l 1 I 92 I I!/. [.11] .lu£.l.| .. . U;-_¢-s1.-1:; -:14;-Z sonoooéég; ..¥_ Q}. .._ 6 110%, B1,? ins Q 6$ p.

.=. Reports of flying saucers became prevalent in 1947 and at"request of Army Air Forces intelligence, Bureau agreed to cooperate in -i
investigation of flying discs. By Bureau Bulletin Number 42, 7-30-47, '
field instructed to investigate each instance to determine if bona fidei
__ sighting, a prank, or hallucination. Coordination with Army through y

By letter 9-3-47 from Headquarters Air Defense Command addresse
to Commanding Generals of the various Air Forces it was noted original
intent of Air Force was that Air Force would interview responsible ob-
servers and Bureau would investigate incidents of so-called discs found
on ground. Letter stated services of the FBI were enlisted in order to
relieve the numbered Air Forces of the task of tracking down all the
many instances which turned out tn be trash can covers, toilet seats 3'
and what not. As result,gureau_;gllgtin:Eumbergo?:9§_1Q/1[41,instructed"all future reports connected with flying discs should be referred to_
the Air Forces and no investigative action should be taken by Bureau
Agents." Letter of 9-27-47 advised hir Force that personnel and time ,
of FBI could not be dissipated in this manner 2-83894-121]. _ uh" _
» ' sag letter Hummer 3L, §;25=A91-advised that from reliable = ~
source it hadueend6fErined t e U353 had been experimenting for four
years on unknown type of flying disc. SAC Letter listed for field data
desired by Air Force in connection with reports of sighting of flying
I saucers? Letter again called attention to fact no investigation should
be conducted by Bureau but if reports made, information should be taken
and furnished to Air Force. .

§ ' There is now sufficient information based on data compiled from

,!_..z; Comenting on this study, National Director-of Aerial Phenomena
;:Q'Hesearch Group Robert J. Gribble said: Although the accounts con-._'J-|eeeesidered in this study did not contain scientific measurements of each
i ;§;.sighting, it was possible to establish certain valid conclusions by
= §§§7the application of statistical methods in the'treatment of the data.
' iganalyzed and arranged, the data did show a marked pattern.
"..
Q Ylégll On the basis of this marked pattern of the data, A.P.R.G. has
jqf concluded that a high percentage of the more than 5,000 accounts of
_ -5Q unidentified flying objects examined in this study represent observ-T eitations of technological developments outside the gauge of present-day
,¢-scientific knowledge.-l-..__._ V i
.?{-,},. I_____,_,-* Therefore, it is highly probable that many er tho unidentified
_ .¢-flying objects considered in this study are spacecraft from other
' lanets..Al1 H jt_P
y; A.P.R.G. highly recommends that all national security agencies
. F take immediate steps to strip the unidentified flying objects of the
special secrecy status they have been given and the aura of mystery
_ -- thgy have unfortunatly acquired. END.F .

objects. When the details of such s sighting
are reported to representatives of this Bureau,-
the information is forwarded to the Air Force.
_ Representatives of this Bureau do not issue
instructions to individuals who have sighted un-
identified flying objects that they should not
talk about such sightings. ' -
it is not s function of this Bureau to makecharacter investigations of individuals who have
witnessed unident fied flying objects.
This Bureau does not have information on
unidentified flying objects which can be re-
leased. This does not imply that this Bureau
has information concerning unidentified flying
objects which cannot be released.

If anyone has seen any unidentified flying objects-imozon also as flying saucers--or knows anyone who has
seen then since January let, 1957, please contact us
isuuediately, giving full names and addresses of the
witnesses to these sightings.

all over the United States, Uanada, iurope, Alaeha,
Australia, Japan, England, Africa, and South America.Ana each state, province or region will have its cm '
filter center which will serve as a receiving station
for all GPO reports and other associated data, a
distribution point for material from headquarters, and
as a general secretary for IOARF.
Our filter-observer network is expanding by leaps andbounds, but we are still far from our goal. - _ _
The Air Force investicaticn has either cone uru_igrcrg_
or else the have the answer and are hiding the factfrom the puzlic. The fact remains that aillions of
people continue to see these lIF'0s and the public still
doesn't know what they are.
It is our purpose in organising ICARP to find the
answer to the UFO mystery, and give the facts to
the public. And in order to do this we will need
the assistance of every person concerned. Rersons _
with aovie and still cameras are particularly needed,
for the emphasis is on photographic data, despite
the fact that sightings with binoculars and telescopes,
sound detector and has: radio stations are also very
Jqportant in the procesr of our research. . _92 .
