Dear
Sir:
Through inquiry of the Department of the Air Force, I've obtained a copy
of a U.S. Army report of an alleged April 8, 1954 sighting of an occupied Un-
identified Flying Object (UFO) which was pursued by !. S. Coast Guard personnel,
landed briefly on the ground (discharging the occupant, who strolled about and
returned to the object), and which was seen by at least three civilian observers
before it departed. The report's distribution notation cites your office as
receiving a copy.
So that I might complete my research into this case, will you please send
me
a copy of any documentation of all FBI follow-up actions that may have been
taken on the matter? Also, does your office possess any other UFO-sighting case
files covering the period January 1, 1954 through December 31, 1954; and, if so,
will you please send me a copy of your records of same? Finally, will you please
tell me the current mailing address and/or telephone number of the principal
observer, Chicago resident Mrs. Lelah H. Stoker, in the
aforementioned sighting
of April 8, 1954?

Dear Mr. Bryant:
I have received your letter dated September 30,
1974, regarding UFO sightings.
I am sorry to advise you
that
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has no
information regarding the UFO sighting you describe in
your letter, and, in fact, the FBI does not collect informa-
tion regarding UFO sightings in general. As you are
probably aware, the FBI is the investigative arm of the
United States Department of Justice, and is authorized to
investigate only those matters specifically delegated to
it by Congress.
UFO sightings are not such matters.
In addition, our files contain no information
regarding the current residence or telephone number of
Mrs: Lelah H. Stoker, mentioned in your letter.
Very truly yours,
Guit
