Background

This internal CIA communication originated from the Domestic Collection Division, a component responsible for intelligence gathering within the United States. The memo specifically references UFO research and suggests ongoing analytical efforts regarding unidentified flying objects during 1976. Such documentation demonstrates that the agency maintained active files and research protocols concerning aerial anomalies years after publicly claiming to have ended their UFO investigations. The record forms part of the larger collection of declassified materials released to The Black Vault in 2021.
