FBI file: National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), Part 03

Federal Bureau of Investigation · 28 pages · text by OCR

This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section collects 1964 to 1968 correspondence about the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). It includes public letters, internal notes calling Donald Keyhoe's submissions irresponsible, and an Indianapolis recommendation against sending material to NICAP researcher Harry F. Koch. The FBI Laboratory declined to examine UFO photo negatives from Emerson, New Jersey, but its experts privately judged them likely trick photography. Other replies state that UFO matters fall outside FBI jurisdiction.
