FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES
__________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Peter L. Clarke 5 December 1983

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.
