UFO Sighting Report Referral

Summary

In April 1962, the U.S. government received a letter from Thomas B. Scott Jr., describing a sighting of an object in the sky. The CIA responded, thanking him for the information and noting that while they were interested in such events, the responsibility of identifying such objects fell to the Air Force. The letter was forwarded to the military for further action. These documents reveal how government agencies collaborated to investigate UFO reports during that era.

The official memo includes internal distribution notes and authorization signatures, showing a standard process for handling information. Though the text has OCR errors, such as cut-off words or illegible sections, the intent to channel data to the right departments is clear. This kind of communication reflects the coordination between government branches during a time when UFO sightings were treated with both interest and caution.
