"Federal Bureau of Investigation FOIA Documents - Unidentified Flying Objects" is a collection of official communications and memos from the FBI regarding reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), produced in the late 1940s, a period marked by increased interest in UFO phenomena post-World War II. The documents highlight numerous incidents of sightings that were reported to the Bureau, revealing a mix of eyewitness accounts and investigations into what was at the time an enigmatic topic. The likely focus of the book is to document how the FBI handled the influx of reports about flying discs and the interplay with military agencies. The content primarily consists of teletypes and memoranda detailing various sightings across the United States, including descriptions of the objects, accounts from witnesses, and the FBI’s decision-making process regarding investigations. For instance, reports describe enthusiastic sightings by civilians, interactions with the military about the potential genuine nature of these objects, and instances where objects were later found to be hoaxes or misidentified materials. The correspondence suggests that there was not only a genuine curiosity but also considerable skepticism within the Bureau regarding the motivations of individuals reporting sightings, with some officials hinting at possible psychological or political influences behind the claims.

Reading ease score: 57.6 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
