MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (intelligence)

SUBJECT:        USSR and Satellite Mention of Flying Saucers



    1. A search of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX files has so
far profuced no factual evidence that subject has been mentioned
in the Soviet Satellite press within the past two years, It is
believed that a ????aive comment was made in a Russian news-
paper in 1948 on this subject but so far the article has not
been found.

    2. FBID has one broadcast on this subject, dated 10 June
1951, which is quoted below:

		Summary - In what appears to be Moscow's first mention
        of Flying Saucers "Listener's Mailbag" answers ques-
        tions on the subject to the affect that "The Chief of
        Nuclear Physics in the US Naval Research Bureau" ??-
        plained them recently as used for stratospheric studies,
        US Government circles know all along of the harmless
        nature of these objects, but if they refrained from
        denying "false reports, the purpose behind such tactics
        was to fan ??? hysteria in the country."

	3.  A State Department cable recently received from Budapest
quotes the August 14th copy of Szabad Nep as follows:

        "Flying Saucer stories are another American attempt
        to fan war hysteria."  Radar detection of saucers
        is quoted in the article and it comments on the
        ridiculous aspects of the source of the mystery.
        The article concludes that it is part of American
        rulers propaganda to prove the Western countries
        are threatening.

    4.  FBID has been requested to alert the field stations to
any mention of Flying Saucers by iron Curtain Countries.
