Summary

A 22 September 1967 Chicago FBI memo records that an eleven-year-old boy telephoned to say he heard a 'weird' noise at about 8:30 p.m. on 16 September 1967 and saw a 'flash of light going north in the sky'; the information was passed to the 755th Radar Squadron. A 1974 letter from Larry W. Bryant asks the Chicago office for records on an alleged April 8, 1954 sighting of an occupied UFO. The FBI's 10 October 1974 reply says it has no information on that sighting and 'does not collect information regarding UFO sightings in general.'
