Dear Mr. Clarke
|
|
|
|
This is in reference to your Freedom of Information Act request fo 18
|
|
November 1983 requesting access to information regarding photographs taken by
|
|
Paul Bennewitz in 1980 near Kirtland AFB.
|
|
|
|
The only information we have in our files regarding this incident is a copy
|
|
of a message, originator unknown, which apparently was placed in circulation
|
|
in at least three cities in the U.S. This message discusses analysis of UFO
|
|
photographs, and, while it does not mention who the photographer was, it does
|
|
mention the name Bennewitz. The purported originator, the Air Force Office
|
|
of Special Investigations, has reviewed the message and confirmed that it is
|
|
a hoax. While the Air Force Intelligence Service is listed as a recipient of
|
|
the message, we hve no record of ever receiving it from AFOSI. The copy
|
|
which we have in our files was forwarded to us by the organization Citizens
|
|
Against UFO Secrecy.
|
|
|
|
We are attaching a copy of the document as we received it. We have, however,
|
|
removed the bogus security markings so as not to alarm any recipients. We
|
|
are also attaching other documents created by this agency as a result of the
|
|
bogus message. These documents have previously been released to the public
|
|
through the Freedom of Information Act.
|
|
|
|
For your further information, this agency collected information on UFO
|
|
sightings for a few years. However, our interest in this topic was
|
|
discontinued in the mid-1970's and our UFO records were transferred to the
|
|
General Services Administration for inclusion in Project Blue Book. These
|
|
records are available for public inspection through the National Archives and
|
|
Records Service, Modern Military Branch, 8th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,
|
|
Washington DC 20408.
