RE: J. A. HENNESSEY

By letter dated January 20, 1965, J. A. Hennessey of 10, Johnson Place, South Kensington, London, S.W. 7, wrote to the FBI asking whether it is the usual procedure for FBI agents to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects which have been seen on the ground. Mr. Hennessey's letterhead indicated that he was a "UFO Research Investigator" and "Member National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena." By letter dated January 26, 1965, Mr. Hennessey was informed that such matters did not come within our investigative jurisdiction. (62-83894-442)

On November 26, 1966, Mr. Hennessey again wrote the FBI stating that the response to his earlier letter had been destroyed in a recent fire in his home and asking whether FBI policy concerning investigation of UFO's remained unchanged. His letter was written on a new letterhead containing the same address and the same reference to membership in the "National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena" and adding "Associate Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics." He was informed by letter of November 30, 1966, that our policy remained unchanged, and he was furnished a copy of our prior communication.
