Background
A security officer at the Naval Bureau of Aeronautics developed a personal interest in the Frances Swan contact case and accepted Rear Adm. Knowles's invitation to visit Swan in Eliot, Maine. On his return he gave the FBI a report on his visit. On 29 July an FBI agent interviewed him, and on 9 August J. Edgar Hoover sent an account of the interview to Rear Adm. Carl F. Espe and to the Army's Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2. Hoover wrote: 'No further action is being taken in this matter by this Bureau.' The FBI file was published in the PURSUE release. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
