CIA and contact with a UFO journalist

Summary

This CIA document reveals an internal discussion regarding a journalist named Davidson, who had written an article on unidentified aerial phenomena and sent it to the Pentagon. The CIA received the article and forwarded it to an officer named Grogan, but concluded that there was nothing they could do about it. The tone of the document suggests frustration and disinterest from the agency, as they considered any further contact with Davidson would only fuel more public speculation. Additionally, they decided not to offer him new communication channels or provide more information, to avoid unnecessary complications.

The CIA also mentions that if Davidson wanted to contact the agency, he already knew enough names and addresses. This indicates they had had some prior interaction. Finally, the document reflects a stance of non-involvement, with the intention of not letting their office become entangled in the matter. The only purpose they saw in intervening would be to protect their office from liability, by involving another person in the issue.
