L Attn: Chief, (2-65 DATE: 25 imuary 1965 al.'sjECT: National Investi action Coranittee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) 1. This confirms conversation 19 January 1965, at which ti.me:various samples and reporta on UFO sightings procured from NICAP were given to for traris.ittal to os.. The inforration.vas desired_by..OSI_to assist them in the preparation of a-paper-for 'Jill on UFO's. 2. In accordiince-with request, we met on 19 January ].965 with Mr..Richard-hsrris-Nall; Acting Director of IzICAP. Though Major-William Kehoe, founder.-of HICAP, is still listed-es-Director of the orgAnizzation, we gather-that he is present_on-the-premises-at 536 Connecticut ?venue, N. W., only infrequently.. 3. Th tb ial uYiich was given to us. on loan .by_. Mr. Hall . is representative of the type 4f_- i_nfQ LyaiQt~ available at NICAP. Their past and present_correspMrden_ce from all over t- he -US re.la- tive to UFO sightings is voluminous. They. have slack-per-iods-,------------ as was the cruse in Decemaeri'1964,-thus there.-.were no "Investigator+s" reports ix sediately-available for -the M-fith of Tiecember. - -NICAP- - has active Ccumittees,scsttered.-throe h ut_-the US. Investigators active with these comnittees=call-upon. the sources of reported ... Un sightings to obtain first hand; eye witness account$ of the sightings . A print _,i'g , , p_par?ec _by the Air Force for N`ICkp's use, Is utilized .during the. interview, and submitted to .;ICAP headquarters along -vita-the-.source's-eye`vitness account: as told ----- to the investigator. It was our---understanding that copies of these reports go directly to various AIr-Force bases. TI-,ere apparently is a strong feeling on the part of KICAP officials, i.e., Kehoe and Hall, that the Air Force tends. to downgrade the importance of UF'O si;;ia,n3s because-they(the- Air- Force) -does riot care to have too much made of the sightings by the US press. We were told by dir. Hall-that there have been instances where the Air Force has attempted to intimidate witnesses and get thers to sign false statements relative to UFO sightings. 000015426 25 January 1965 Case i- The rest recent UFa sighting of considerable intere t to-NICAP was the series of pick-ups of UFO's on the radar screen of the Patuxent ;naval Air Station between l;00 and 1.530 on 19 D cerber 190h. This incident was reported in the press as a single sighting, a UFO approaching Patuxc-nt at speeds up to 3~zo miles per hour. The Air Force a day or so later stated in the. press that the blip was caused by faulty-radar equipment. -- .-Actually, according to-Hc11;-who talked with an unidentified person close to the situation, there were three separate sight- ings; (a) Two UFO's snout 10 miles part, southeast of Patuxent, spproachirgat_ahigh rate of: speed, disappeared from the_ screen; (b) A single UFO picked UP 39 miles.so-atheast of Patuxent, altitude estimated somewhere between three thousand and 25 thousand :eet,-_approaet,i base at-estimated. speed. of. s1x thousand miles-per-hour.

Several' men watering from the windows of the old Mznitions wilding on Constitution Avenue watched several UFO's-on the horizon traveling at high rates of speed. -They have promised to fill out I4ICAP's sighting questionnaire;- which Hall says rte: ere welcome to see krer, available. info:ad us that she-is requesting a security clearance on ,':r.
