AI-Generated Summary
A local Civil Defense official in Indiana wrote to the FBI in 1953 to ask if the International Flying Saucer Bureau was a subversive organization. The letter was accompanied by copies of the IFSB's publication, 'SPACE REVIEW.'
This document consists of a letter dated January 20, 1953, from the Johnson County Department of Civil Defense in Franklin, Indiana, to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. The author of the letter, a local Civil Defense official, inquires whether the 'International Flying Saucer Bureau' (IFSB) is a subversive organization. The author explains that they were contacted by a local businessman about joining the IFSB and had considered integrating local interest in flying saucers into the Civil Defense program. The letter includes enclosures, specifically a letter received the previous October and an issue of 'SPACE REVIEW,' and requests that the FBI provide information on the IFSB's status so the department can determine how to proceed with enlisting interested persons. The document also contains several pages of the 'SPACE REVIEW' publication, which includes articles about flying saucer sightings, theories, and a directory of representatives, including Edgar L. Plunkett in England.
I would like to know if this organisation has been cleared or is subversive in any way.
