July 11, 1950 Mr. Glenn Lee Adams 921 South 40th Street Louisville 11, Kentucky Dear Mr. Adams: Your card postmarked July 3, 1950, has been received and it is suggested that you may wish to correspond directly with the Secretary of the Air Force, National Defense Building, The Pentagon, Washington 25, D. C., since the matter to which you referred has been handled by that agency. I am sure you will find on a close examination of the book you mentioned that it contains no quotations from the FBI but merely mentions this agency. Sincerely yours, J. Edgar Hoover John Edgar Hoover Director NOTE: Correspondent refers to a book "The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald Keyhoe, which has been read and will be reviewed by the Crime Records Section in the near future. The book mentions briefly that the FBI was investigating flying saucers and that two Bureau Agents witnessed saucers at Las Vegas, New Mexico, 12-8-48. It is not malicious in the references to the FBI, by Keyhoe who wrote the article on saucers for True Magazine.
