CIA UFO Documents

Summary

Donald E. Keyhoe, an investigator of unidentified flying objects, wrote several letters to the CIA during the 1950s. In a letter dated February 12, 1959, Keyhoe sought a response regarding certain UFO-related topics. The CIA replied that it still lacked sufficient information to provide an appropriate answer. However, it was noted that a previous conversation in April 1958 had already provided all available information on the subject.

The document highlights the difficulty faced by researchers and citizens in obtaining official information about UFOs during that period. The CIA, while receptive to inquiries, maintained a cautious and limited stance regarding the disclosure of data. This correspondence reflects the atmosphere of mystery and lack of transparency surrounding UFO sightings at the time. Nonetheless, the existence of these files reveals institutional interest in the topic.
