The International Flying Saucer Bureau was a short-lived American organisation, founded by Albert K. Bender at Bridgeport, Connecticut, dedicated to the study and publication of reports on flying saucers. The group had assembled a small contingent of saucerians to the ranks before being dissolved by Bender & co. in late 1953.
