Barry Greenwood has kindly scanned several issues of the "CAPRI News" newsletter published by the "Committee on Aerial Phenomenon Research Investigations" in the 1960s.
The President of the "Committee on Aerial Phenomenon Research Investigations" was E J Minasian.
This newsletter appears to be extremely rare and even the collections of Barry Greenwood, the AFU and others are incomplete. As always, I will try to fill in the gaps.
Volume 1 No 6 contained (at pages 5-6) a "CAPRI Exclusive", being a copy of the purported letter from Robert F Kennedy to Gray Barker dated 9 May 1968 in which Bobby Kennedy purportedly stated that he was "a card carrying member of the Amalgamated Flying Saucers Association" and that he was in favour of "more research regarding this matter". Antonio Huneeus wrote an article entitled "Bobby Kennedy and UFOs" in 2010 which discussed whether this purported letter was a hoax by, or on, Gray Barker. (Anyone familiar with Gray Barker reading the relevant purported letter would have the same question...). I'd be interested in the background to this purported letter is more information is available. As some of you know, I have a fondness for Gray Barker and the UFO antics of him and some of his friends.
The newsletter contained a statement that the content could be reproduced, so I have made the scans available online.
