CIA and UFO Documents

Summary

In 1955, an American citizen wrote to the CIA requesting information about a book claiming to contain photos of UFOs. The CIA responded that it had no jurisdiction over such matters, as its role did not include public safety or scientific investigation. Additionally, the agency stated that it does not comment on the truthfulness of external publications. The case was referred to other institutions like the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation. The official response reflected the CIA's policy of not engaging in issues outside its legal scope.
