SEP 4 1989 I have received your July 24th letter in which you ask for my help in secur information relative to investigations of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings. I have discussed your request with my colleagues, and I would first like to explain that the investigation of UFOs is not now nor has it ever been the responsibility of the FBI. The Department of the Air Force conducted investigations and studies of UFO reports from 1947 to 1969. On December 17, 1969, the Secretary of the Air Force announced the termination of "Project Blue Book," and the Air Force has furnished all documents regarding its investigations of UFOs to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Administration, Eightt. Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20408. I understand this data is available for public review and analysis. You may wish to make an inquiry of the Modern Military Branch for the answers to some of your questions. Also of possible interest, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was asked by President Carter to look into the possibility of resuming UFO Tnvestigations in 1977. After studying all the facts available, it decided that nothing would be gained by further investigation, and the Department of the ~ . Air Force agreed with that decision.. You may also want to check with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in connection with your research. , 2 6 3- O -9217 «a & I am not aware of any Federal agency tasked with the Dy ow responsibility of investigating UFOs and hope this information ay gitit be of help to you and your organization. = vn Sincerely yours, cree AD Adm, - Wiliam S.
