Dear Mr. Sessicns:

‘You may recall yhet s while you were in Fort Smith visiting your

Fathdr calle@ and, briefly, mentioned a Gesire to mee
‘W you* and to discuss.the phenemenon. of in general,

and the role of U. S. Government participation, in particular.

I sald spat I wished to issue a "challenge" to you (not that you
do not"challenges ona daily basis) pertaining to UFOts. You
Stated that you were interested, and to write you - and whith I
am now doing. Imuld write "pages" on the matter, but rather
than to do so ~- it will be lengthy enough for me to endeavor to
give you information I wish to convey in this letter.

In any event, the U.-S. Government has played important roles
in the evaluation of UFO reported sightings. The new Project
Blue Book is a "continuation" of the original Project Blue Book,
established by the Air Force, and was located at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. Some of the most important sighting
"announcements" came from the Air Force, and which were, later,
Stated to be sanething nct in the original announcements - in a
cover-up of the initial announcement. This repeatedly happened
much to the chagrin of the Air Force. Original members of the
Project Blue Book found that many reports never were received by
this group, but went to intelligence-gathering agencies. . . 90

‘While Director of the F.B.I., Mr. J. Edgar Hosesy O Hose personnel

( reported some of the sightings themselves and who were, otherwise,

| brought in to some of the cases) repeatedly asked the Air Force
