 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.

 

 Sincerely                                3 Atch
