The FBI kept forwarding UFO mail

This is Section 9 of FBI Headquarters file 62-HQ-83894, covering serials 385 to 446 from 1957 to 1966. It is a stack of flying saucer and UFO correspondence, referrals, and memos, and it includes a disc sighting in Cuba, the wave of reports after Sputnik, material on civilian UFO groups like ICARF, NICAP, and APRG, a handwritten witness letter from Michigan, the Joseph Perry moon photograph, and the 1964 La Madera and Socorro, New Mexico sightings. The section drifts from late 1950s reports into the growth of civilian UFO organizations, so it reads less like one investigation than a file that keeps soaking up the culture around the topic. The most useful parts are the specific incident documents, not the general letters that surround them.
