CIA Letter on a UFO Report

Summary

In January 1957, a Florida citizen named John P. Anderscg submitted a report on an unidentified flying object to the CIA. The official response, though partially illegible due to OCR errors, shows a formal thank you for the information provided. The document, addressed to Anderscg, highlights the agency's interest in receiving additional comments on the phenomenon. Although the text is damaged, the professional and appreciative tone of the sender, Kerbert Scoville Jr., an assistant director, is evident. This kind of correspondence reveals how the CIA maintained communication channels with the public to gather data on sightings.
