Admittedly, I’ve only made it though like 30% of the documents, but the only reference I’ve seen so far to this photo is noted below. Just want to provide some context to clear up misinformation for people who are interested but don’t have 100 hours to commit to reading handwritten documents from the 50s and 60s.

Letter with the first attached photo enclosed was sent to the FBI in (presumably) 1967:

Dear Sirs:
Would you please comment on the enclosed
picture that is marked with an "X" and return the picture with your reply. Thank you.

Ray Robinson
[removed address]
Winchester, Va. 22601

FBI response to Robinson on 03 October 1967:

Dear Mr. Robinson:
Your letter of September 27th, with enclosure,
has been received.
The investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects
is not and never has been a matter that is within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI. I can assure you the photograph you mentioned does not represent employees of this Bureau.

Enclosed is some material relating to the work of
this Bureau which I hope will be of interest to you. Also, the photograph you forwarded is being returned.
Sincerely yours,

J Edgar Hoover

NOTE: Correspondent is not identifiable in Bufiles.
The photograph in question has previously come to the Bureau's attention and is known to have appeared in a publication in Europe concerning unidentified flying objects; A caption under the photograph alleges two FBI Agents are leading a person from outer space down the street.
