CIA Letter on a UFO Book

Summary

In July 1959, the CIA responded to a letter from George Petrick Wyllie, who had written about his interest in the book "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers." The book was sent to Allen W. Dulles, who referred it to the CIA for review. After reading it, the agency returned the book to Wyllie, thanking him for his interest and attention to the subject. The note includes internal distribution marks and an authorized signature, suggesting the document was part of an internal review process of material related to UFOs. Although brief, this letter reveals how the CIA handled public information on unidentified aerial phenomena in the 1950s.
