Dear Mr. Sessions:

m Eisire tomeet:&#
yo -~ andto» discussthe phennenon.
of
. in general,
and the role of
U. S. Government participation, in particular.
I saidgatI wished
to issue
a "challenge"
to younotthat
you
do notjc allenges on adaily basis! pertaining to UFO's.
You
.stated that
you were interested, and to write
you - and which I
am now doing. Icnuld
write "pages" on the matter,
but rather
than to do
so - itwill be lengthy enough for me to endeavor to
give
you information I wish to convey in this letter.
In any event, the
U.-S. Government has played important roles
in the evaluation
of UFO reported sightings. The new Project
Blue Bookis a "continuation"
of the original Project
Blue Book,
established
by the Air Force, and was located at wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Dayton,
Ohio. someof the most important sighting
"announcements" came
from the Air Force, and
which were, later,
stated to
be something not in the original announcements - in
a
cover-up of the initial announcement. This repeatedly happened
much to the chagrin of the Air
Force. Original members of the
Project Blue
Book found that manyreports never were received
by
thisgroup,
but went
tointelligence-gathering
agencies.
Al{7L!
'While
E Director
ofthe
F.B.I., Mr. ts %Lhose
J. Edgar
Hoover I1
personne
lv
I
reported some
of the sightings themselves and who were, otherwise,
brought in to some of the cases! repeatedly asked the Air Force
for complete information
about the UFO's
- to no avail. They the
Air Force! would not release certain case reports to Mr.
Hoover.
Evenwith the present
F.O.I., mostly sanitized version/copies are
received and with information requested completely blocked-out.

Mr. William
sea ns
-F.B.I.- 2_ ,.
The new Project Blue Book has 1&8 present, and/or former, Air Force, NC
NASA, and intelligencegathering agency personnel, among others, acting
as adviser-consultants to PBB -anonymously. These are persons who, fo
the most part, have/had been actively engaged in
earlier UFO reports fo
their respective agencies, and who are still
muchly interested.
So, with this brief back-ground of information about me and about Gover
ment participatiaz, the "challenge" I have mentioned would be to have
you make inquiries at the highest levels of "officialdom" about what ou
Government really knows, whether or not there
ARE alien
bodies located
ANYWHERE, what happened to the
crashed "flying saucers", where are the
photo's takenby Air Force personnel through onboard gun cameras, and
similar questioning. I am positive you would find that even you would
be getting ageneral run-aroun and could not receive satisfactory answ
to the above. I think you will/would find that you are
not receiving
all the information you should be receiving and which should be very
evident to you after making several inquiries. You may tend to drop th
matter, thinking you are receiving answers to your questions, but this
will not b_e the case, Ia ssure you.

I-Lr. Sessions, I will not take more of your time in this matter, but,
if you are interested, I would appreciate your looking into the matter.
You may wish to appoint one of our office; personnel to start making
inquiry about
UFO 's,
in general,
and see
which Agencies
to which
you
would be directed. Keep in mind, however, that some present office
personnel, in the other agencies, may not know what
you would be
inquiring about -and will tell you that the
Air Force Project Blue
Book closed it's "doors"in 1969, and that
the Air Force no longer
investigqtes Sightini
UFO reports
-and
key is to go beyond the
thisintoI already
ir Force
know. The
the other
agencies;
importan
such as
the
Office of Defense, C.I.A., etc. President Bush, when asked about
UFO's,
know, President
the ush
gerson
told askirg "You
was formerly with
do the
notknow the
C.I.A@
half ofit". As ym
His comments are on
tape, by the
way..
Well, I think
this should suffice for this time. I appreciate your
patience in reading this letter, and should you desire any additional
infonnation, please do not hesitate to let me know. I would like, ver;
much, to work through you, and with you, to endeavor to bring the
matte
of UFO's
to a conclusion -if that conclusion is an honest one.
I hope you had a nice visit,with your Dad, and come back for avisit
again, soon.
Very sincerely ,
