CIA and UFO Witnesses

Summary

In 1953, the CIA received a complaint about whether its agents had attempted to silence witnesses of unidentified flying objects. Karl Feybo, a concerned citizen, asked if it was true that some witnesses had been interrogated and advised not to make public their sightings. The letter mentioned a specific case where a witness, after being questioned by CIA representatives, was told not to disclose the incident publicly. The official response from the CIA stated there was no evidence this had happened and that there were no security concerns involved. It also assured that no witness had been asked to remain silent, and a formal reply was offered to clarify any misunderstandings. This document reveals how the CIA handled UFO information during a time of public fascination and fear of misinformation.
