Memorandum Regarding Return of Photographs and Interview with US Citizen

This memorandum, dated December 12, 1957, documents an interaction between an unnamed author and an individual regarding five photographs of flying saucers. On December 10, 1957, the author returned these photographs to the individual. During their interaction, the individual inquired about the possibility of receiving official evaluations of the photographs and sought permission to present the material on a television program intended to brief the public on U.F.O. developments. The author informed the individual that it was highly doubtful that evaluations could be provided and that the request would be passed to headquarters. Furthermore, the author declined to advise the individual on whether to write to the 'Director' for permission to use the photos on television, stating that as a U.S. citizen, the individual would have to make that decision independently. The memorandum concludes by noting that it is being forwarded to address potential interest and to prevent any repercussions or flaps.
