This FBI file (62-HQ-83894, Serial 449) is an October 1966 memo from the SAC Los Angeles to the FBI Director, transmitting a copy of Issue No. 24 (July 1966) of 'Flying Saucers International,' the official journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA). The file was opened because an IRS employee in Philadelphia flagged an article in the magazine as potentially expounding the Communist Party line. The bulk of the document is the actual magazine itself, containing convention announcements, contactee accounts, newspaper clippings about UFO sightings, and a channeled 'message' from an alleged extraterrestrial named Kalen-Li Retan of planet Korendor.

Key Findings

→An IRS employee named Jarvis H. Cooper reported Issue No. 24 of 'Flying Saucers International' to the FBI because he believed an article expounded the Communist Party line.
→The article in question was allegedly received via short-wave radio from 'Master Kalen-Li Retan, Head of planet Korendor,' criticizing the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and Vietnam War policy.
→The FBI's Los Angeles Division found no information on Bob Renaud (the alleged radio contactee) in its indices, and no prior investigation had been conducted on the AFSCA organization.
→The magazine contains extensive newspaper clippings documenting UFO sightings across the U.S. and Canada in 1965-1966, including radar-tracked objects and police reports.
→The Los Angeles FBI office determined no further action was warranted and closed the matter, forwarding it to the Bureau for information only.
