(2) Dr. Lapaz, Meteor 4) Ezepert of the University of New Merico, reported that the phenomena 4 : does not appear to be of meteoric ‘origin. (3) OSI has contracted 4 with Land-Air Inc., Alamogordo, New Merico, to make scientific : | study of the unexplained phenomena. caer “NATURE OF PHENOMENA / v Observations of aerial phenomena occurring within the vicinity of sensitive installations have been recorded by the Air Force since December, 1948. The phenomena have been I classified into 3 general types which are identified as follows: 1. Green fireballs, objects moving at high speed in shapes resembling half moons, circles and discs emitting green light. &. Discs, round flat shaped objects or phenomena moving at fast velocity and emitting a brilliant white light or reflected light. 3. Meteors, aerial phenomena resembling meteoric ~ material moving at high velocity and varying in color. The above phenomena have been reported to vary in / color from brilliant, white to amber, red and green. a Since 1948, approximately 150 observations of aerial / phenomena referred to above have been recorded in the vicinity of installations in New Mexico. A number of observations have - been reported by different reliable individuals at approrimately the same time. RECORDED - 2 hd.

He concluded, as a result of his investigation, that approximately half of the phenomena recorded were of meteoric origin. The other phenomena commonly referred to as green fireballs or discs he believed to be U.S. guided missiles being tested in the neighborhood of the installations. Dr. LaPaz pointed out that if he were wrong in interpreting the phenomena as originating with U.S. guided missiles that a systematic investigation of the obser= vations should be made immediately. Dr. LaPaz pointed out that missiles moving with the velocities of the order of those found for the green fireballs and discs could travel from the Ural region of the USSR to New Merico in less than 15 minutes. He suggested that the observations might be of guided missiles launched from bases in the Urals. On the basis of the investigations made by Dr. LaPaz and the Air Force, tt was concluded that the occurrence of the unexplained phenomena in the vicinity of sensitive installations was @ cause for concern. The Air Force entered into a contract with LaneAir, Incorporated, Alamogordo, New Merico, for the purpose of making scientific studies of the green fireballs and discs. It was pointed out in the summary furnished by OSI on July 19, 1950, that the unerplained grem fireballs and discs are still observed in the vicinity of sensitive military and Gopernment installations. RESULTS OF AIR FORCE INVESTIGATION The Atr Force together with Land-Air, Incorporated, have established a number of observation posts in the vicinity of Vaughn, New Mexico, for the purpose of photographing and determining the speed, height and nature of the unusual phenomena referred to as green fireballs and discs. On May 24, 1950, personnel of Land-Air, Incorporated, sighted 8 to 10 objects of aerial phenomena. A 24-hour day watch is being maintained and has been deotgnated Neroject_ twinkle.” pa Die CONCLUSIONS The Albuquerque Office, in a letter dated August 10, 1950, advised that there have been no new developments in connection with the efforts to ascertain the identity of the strange aerial phenomena referred to as green fireballs and discs. The Albuquerque Office advised that Dr. Anthony 0. Mirarchi, Project Engineer, had been informed of the Bureau jurisdiction relative to espionage and sabotage and arrangements have been made. so that the Bureau will be promptly advised in the event additional information relative to this project indicates any jurisdiction on the part of the Bureau.

Tele, Room__ PURPOSE pa To advise you of the most recent _informtion lnom_ to the Ke Bureau concerning the captioned aerial phenomena. BACKGROUND : You will recall that on August 23, 1950, I furnished to you a memorandum regarding Project Twinkle set up by the Department of the Air Force, with the assistance of Land-Air, Ince, at Vaughn, New Mexico, for the purpose of obtaining data regarding these unusual aerial phenomena which had been seen in the vicinity of sensitive installatims in New Mexico. To date the Air Force has not advised us of any new.developnents in connection with this project. Dr. Anthony 0. Mirarchi, Project Engineer of Project Twinkle, has been contacted by the Albuquerque Office and arrangements have been made in order that the Bureau will be advised in the event any information relative to these phenomena indicates any jurisdiction on the part of the Bureau. According to Bureau files, an average of approximately three or four complaints have been received per month from June through Septenber . These complaints were brought to the attention of OSI. A review of Bureau files does not indicate that there has been any increase in the sightings of these phenomena during or as a result of the war in Korea. JURISDICTION FOR INVESTIGATION OF THESE PHENOMENA You will recall the investigation to obtain information concerning | tose aerial phenomena is the jurisdiction of the Department of the Air Fores. The Department of the Air Force is aware of our jurisdiction in matters relating to espionage, sabotage and internal security, and we have contacted OSI.and requested them to advise us of any developments in connection with these phenomena which would be of interest to us as a result of our jurisdiction EBM :de ECORVED - 109 OCT To 70 gum 6 eis WU A 6 195 z | — > & ee 2 w 7 XS one pnganr 49 $230 0 J..83 wos 1@i-G3Ai39a8 s ag. usss9 6 is —_ POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THESE AERIAL PHENOMENA The Bureau has been advised in the past by OSI that many of the sightings reported to them were determined by investigation to have been of weather balloons, falling stars, meteorological phenomena and other air-borne objects. INFORMATION OBTAINED BY BUREAU LIAISON FROM OSI, WASHINGTON, D. C. RE THe CAPTIONED MATTERS ON OCTOBER A 1950. Bureau liaison determined on the morning of October 9, 1950 from OSI headquarters that the investigations of these aerial phenomena are being ifhandled by OSI, Wright Field, Ohio. Their investigation of these phenomena fails to indicate that the sightings involved space ships or missiles from any other planet or country. According to OSI, the complaints received by them have failed to indicate any definite pattern of activity. OSI further advised they are closely following the investigation of the captioned matters, and they will advise this Bureau of any matters of interest. ACTION None. The above is for your information.

PHILADELPHIA ON 9/26/50 : During the latée-evering hours~or September 26, 1950, two Phila- \ 6 delphia police officers observed a peculiar phenomenon on Vare F K x Boulevard near 26th Street when they saw a round object about . six feet in circumference slowly float down to the ground. 2 The object had the appearance of a parachute and landed in a field, it being so light it did not even depress the weeds in the field. The object was lavender in color, described by the officers as 3 dewy, sort of like soap suds, and evaporating within fifteen or bes twenty minutes after it landed. When touched by the officers, the “ substance composing the object disappeared, leaving nothing but a F slight sticky substance. £ This matter was reported to this office by the Philadelphia | Police and for that matter, was subsequently carried in the Ts AL Philadelphia press as "Flying Saucer Just Dissolves". see % ee ¢ Mr. LAUGHLIN of the Bureau was telephonically advised of the above t by this office and issued instructions that the matter should be referred to Air Force Intelligence for handling and any investigation. Accordingly, Major WATTS of the Philadelphia Office of OSI was ’ telephonically advised of the above and no further action was taken 2 by this office. 4 FMK /mmd 98-0 i" _* A 5 a w. — m m a ie : \a/- a ‘~ £ x , t | 2 - 39VNGid Ee: gush jorid it paerd, Y 19p {NOWT38 G.93U EEN gw nacre & 0 * Toy ene LVM lion } 4p , Cc Pn a oa Wai os a 6 ‘A A é ZY ‘ Ye hte, th fo. i — eZ Fags peg LAr 2 4 Sel ‘ .

Mr. AARON L. HITCHENS, Chemical Engineer in charge of the Chemical and Physical Laboratories of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., 275 Winchester Avenue, New Haven, was interviewed in connection with other official business and furnished the’following information: He advised“that on Friday, October 20, 1950, he amd his wife and daughter, who reside at 495 Edgewood Avenue, New Haven, went out of the back door of their home to the back yard at approximately 6:15 P.M. His little daughter called his attention to a star in the sky that was moving and Mr, HITCHENS noted a sphere-like object directly overhead which gave a steady golden orange glow. He stated that this object was very high between ten to twenty thousand feet, possibly higher, The glow given off was very steady and not blinking and the whole sphere itself glowed in about the same consistency. He witnessed this object for approximately twenty seconds during which time it traveled in a westerly direction toward New York City and then when Mr, HITCHENS believed that possibly it was near or over New York City, it then veered in a souther- ly direction as if crossing Long Island or possibly in such a direction that it might have been traveling over Long Island. He lost sight of this object as it disappeared behind trees in his vicinity.\\ He advised that as to the size of the object, it was approximately ten times the diameter of Venus, which was shining very brightly that night. He states it was a very clear night and that all the stars in the sky were twinkling as compared to the steadi- ness of the glow given off by this object. He advised that the object did not appear to diminish in size as it traveled farther away from him but appeared to maintain about the same size as when he first noticed it : directly overhead, The same steady orange glow persisted during the entire time that he witnessed it, Although this object was actually cut from his sight by nearby trees, Mr. HITCHENS states that it was so far away from him any way that he probably would have lost sight of it very shortly due to distance had the trees not intervened, The object made no sound whatsoever MHF: FGM REUUAUCU - 1g Nov 18 1980 Lh SINS 40 4 : I gq 4 uo ys LYRIS WAYsiN iy x a : © LI] Ad AR ha oS a © ae er titter to the Grecter . 11/9/50 and there seemed to be no attachments or projections of any kind, just a complete circular ball. He had no idea as to the method of propulsion but advised that at the time it seemed to change directions, probably over New York City, that it had seemed to back up and go forward, possibly two or three times in order to execute a change of direction, There were no clouds in the sky that interfered with his vision of this object and he could not comment as to whether or not this object penetrated or circum vented clouds, The object left no trail of any kind and Mr. HITCHENS mathematically calculated its speed at between four hundred and seven hundred miles per hour, depending on the height which he stated he could not accurately compute, He advised that he could not recall any odors and had no idea as to its construction. To his knowledge the only other persons in this area to have witnessed this object were his wife and daughter.

He understands from reading the above matters that the star Venus is often mistaken by observers for flying saucers and he pointed out that he feels that he is familiar with astronomy not to confuse the object he saw with Venus as he also recalls Venus in the sky on that particular evening and compared the size of this object as being ten times Venus! diameter. He also states that he computed the speed at which this object was traveling by using points in his area, such as, roof tops and tree tops together with the dis- tance he walked on the ground in order to keep the object in sight. Mr. HITCHENS was advised that the Bureau would turn this information over to another agency and indicated that this was according to his approval, He specifically requested that no public announcement or comment be given to the fact that he had reported seeing the above object. Mr. HITCHENS appeared to.be a very reliable and sincere individual and evidences con- siderable technical knowledge and experience in reporting the above inci- dent, >.

Frey Assistant to the AF Plant Representative for Security Office of the AF Plant Representative Air Material Command NEPA Division Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation Post Office Box & Oak Ridge, Tennessee 1. On December 18, 1950, at sometime between 0520 and 0830, the following NEPA employees were riding in a vehicle on the Turn- pike within the Controlhed Area toward the NEPA Project approx- imately one mile short of the "Y" cutoff to White Wing entrance and Y-12; Dr. A. J. Miller Dr. V. P. Calkins Mr. J. Frank Coneybear Mr. A 0. Mooneyham Mr. F. T. Bly 2. The passengers, with the exception of Dr, Calkins, who did not attempt to participate in the viewing, observed a light emanating in the shape of a circle, of an intensity mmek greater than that of a bright moon, through the windshield of the vehicle. The viewers had the impression that there was form in connection with the light rather than merely a point source. The light was white in appearance and did not show any signs of refraction into a band or continuous spectrum, It appeared to be from 15 to 30 degrees elevated above the horizontal and on an aximmth between west and northwest, and appeared to be traveling in ea northwesterly direction. The impression of its traveling is due to the fact that the object appeared to diminish considerably in size during the approximate thirty seconds during which it was viewed. The vehicle remained in motion and in following the course of the road, changed its rel- ative position se that the object was viewed during the last few seconds from the side windows.

Frey December 28, 1950 Assistant to the AF Plant Page 2 Representative for Security Sub ject : Visual Observation on ; December 18, 1950 and the passengers had e relatively clear view at points along the road, the object was not viewed again. ‘The observers were un- able to estimate approximate size, speed, or vertical elevation; and, therefore, were not certain whether the object was over the Controlled Area or a considerable distance away. There was no vapor trail or any other visible condition within the vicinity of the object and there were no clouds which could have obscured it. The observers were unable to identify the object in terms of mass or shpae, other than the circular appearance of the light. How- ever, the circular area appeared to darken, starting at approx- imately 7:00 to 9:00 o'cleck along the perimeter and continuing to darken along the perimeter and inner area until the light was concentrated in approximately 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock position of a very small diameter, at which point it appeared somewhat similar to a large star. 3. The observers were not in complete agreement as to whether the object was moving at e speed which caused it to diminish in size or actually was diminishing in size without any great velocity of travel due to the darkening effect described above.

TRETER on March 11, 1952 that he saw a flying disc at 9:00 AM on March 6, 1952. NYQUIST stated that he was looking out of a window at his home which window faces south, when he saw a flying disc at approximately 7,000 feet above Fullerton Avenue. The angle of elevation of the disc above the horizon was about 5 degrees, The disc came out of a cloud in the east, stopped and mmng motionless in mid-air for a split second, then flew due south at great speed, He described the disc as approximately six feet in diameter, circular, white in color with a bluish tinge. The disc, he Said, appeared to have been constructed out of a metal similar to alumimum. He also Stated that he saw no exhaust, lights, or heard no sound connected with its movements. He noted nothing on it as to how it could maintain its even flight and believed it to have been radio controlled. He said it disappeared out of sight in approximately three seconds, estimating the speed at 600-700 miles per hour or more. He said it went so fast it appeared to flutter. When the disc disappeared from sight it was about the size of a golf ball on the southern horizone NYQUIST made a sketch of the dise and the sketch and the above information were furnished to the local office of the Office of Special Investigations.

The target appeared to approx- Wy imately follow the coast line changing its range only slightly but changing a its azimuth rapidly. The radar set was switched to full aided azimuth ' tracking which normally is fast enough to track jet acft, but in this case p yeas too slow to be resorted to. The target was lost in the NE at a range \U \ of about 1,000 yards. This target also presented an unusually strong return \4 \8 \ for an acft being comparable in strength to that usually received from a iY) \s\ coastal ship. The operator initially identified the target as a ship and MY i ‘ then realized that it could not be a ship after he observed its extreme \i speed. \" , ' On 10 September 1951, 1515 hours, an SCR 584, serial no. 433 tracked g a target which moved about slowly in azimuth N of Fort Monmouth at a range 7 . Of about 32,000 yds at the extremely unusual elevation angle of 1350 mils. (Altitude approximately 93,000 ft) : 2” On 11 September 1951, 1050 hours, 2 SCR 584 serial nos. 217 and 315 oa ¥ picked up the same target NE of Fort Monmouth at an elevation angle of yA 350 to 300 mils at a range of approximately 30,000 yards. (Approximate or altitude 31,000 ft) the sets track automatically in azimuth and elevation \ and with aided range tracking are capable of tracking targets up to a speed of 700 mph. In this case however, toth sets found it impossible to track the target in range due to its speed arm the operators had to resort to manual range tracking in order to hold the target. The target was tracked in this manner to the maximum tracking range of32,000 yards. The operators judged the target to be moving at a speed several hundred miles per hour higher than the mximum aided tracking ability of the radar sets. This target provided an extremely strong echo at times even though it was-at maximum range, however the echo signal occasionally fell off to a level below normal return. These changes coincided with maneuvers of the target. ff 7398 of On 11 September 1951 at about 130 a target was picked up onan SCR 58, radar set serial no. 315 that displayed unusual maneuverability. 4 The target was approx. over Navesink NJ as indicated by its 10,000 yard range, 6000 ft altitude and due N azimth. The target remained practically stationary on the scope and appeared to be hovering. The operators looked WN out of the van in an attempt to see the target since it was at such a short ‘a range, however overcase conditions prevented such observation. Returning to ~ their positions the target was observed to be changing its elevation at an DN extremely rapid rate, the change in range was so small the operators believed \ the target must have risen nearly vertically. The target ceased its rise in elevation at an elevation angle of approx 1500 mils at which time it proceeded to move at an extremely rapid rate in rangepingsoypherly direction once again the speed on the target exceeding the gidedt pict ability of the SCR 584 so that namual tracking became necessary. THe Sadr tracked the target to the maximum range of 32,000 yards at which time the target was at an elevation angle of 300 mils.

(Commander MELVIN MICHAEL KUHN, U. S. Navy, temporarily residing at 1900 Graybar Lane, Nashville, Tennessee, advised SAA CHARLES J. HONETOR of the Nashville Resident Agency on March 1), 1952, at approximately 2215 peme of the following incident. Mr. KUHN stated that approximately 10:20 p.m. on March 13, 1952, while standing in the back yard of 1900 Graybar Lane and looking toward the moon, which was then in the southwest section of the sky, he observed an object which appeared approximately 20 degrees above the horizon. Lt. KUHN described this object as being circular in shape, approximately one~half the size of the moon, deep bright blue in color, very vivid blue. He stated the object had a slight reddish fringe on the aft end. The object appeared to be moving from the northwest to the southeast. He stated that the object was not in his vision more than three seconds. It made no sound. Lt. KUHN stated that at the time he observed this, there were no clouds in the sky, the stars were out, and the moon was fulle Lt. KUHN stated that the only way he could describe it was that it appeared to be a very high powered spotlight on a cloud, tut he did mot believe this could have been the cause of that which he had seen because he had not seen any spotlight or any strong search lights there during the evening.

Hekhout called at this Bureau and advised that he is General Manager of Mouton and Company, Printers, 5 Herderstraat, The Hague, Netherlands. He resides at 49 Stadhouderslaan, The Hague. He is residing at the Victoria Hotel, New York City, until May 16, 1952, when he will return to EFurope. vr. Eekhout advised that he has a considerable tnterest in electronics and has been very much interested tn reports atria ayy saa the past year or two concern= ing the eristence of/flying saucers.

In that connection he states that the tonosphere surrounding the earth radiates positive tons toward: the earth's surface, Many of these are dissipated by combining with partteles in the atmosphere with the result that positive tons are more concentrated near the earth's surface than higher above tt. He reasons that a disk could be ratsed in the air by emitting a great quantity of negative tons through tts upper surface and causing a decrease in pressure which would result in the pressure underneath the disk forcing it upward. He indicates that somewhere between the surface of the earth and the tonosphere this pressure would equalize at which potnt the disk could go no higher. It could then be moved horizontally by emitting negative tons tn the direction in which tt is desired to move, Mr. Eekhout stated that he did not feel such a device could be remote controlled since it would probably not be posstble to maintain radio. contact with it. He feels, however, that the occupants of such a device would be fully protected since according to the electrical theory demonstrated by Faraday's Cage the current involved in the propulsion of such a devige would concentrate itself around the edges of the disk.

Dept. of Justice Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Hoovers The motive of this letter is a sincere effort to help avoid useless waste of life, time and money. It is written with full respect to your pressing work, and to the ability of this country's scientific experts. 1) Although your responsibilities may not be directly connected | with the intended text of this letter, I sincerély hope that || you will consider the possibilities, and forward the suggestions || to the proper authorities concerned, For the past five years the general public has read, and bally- hoed newspaper articles related to the’"Flying Saucers", and following the same trend of thought have ipiored recent re= ports made by persons of undisputed experience and intelligence. The possibilities of this earth being visited by ships from outer space have been lightly suggested by some, while others believe the “objects" belong to some nation on this earth. Granted that some such objects do even belong to this country, it is obvious that we, nor any other nation possess and fail to use, in time of war, such useful means as have been re- ported by the belloon experts connected with General Mills, Inc. I am sure that these suggestions will bear scientific inves- tigation and that they are entirely probable. Similar to Columbus and the egg - they may not have been given due con- sideration, These “objects” of undetermined origin" (not to be confused with our contpélled weather balloons, etc.) are in all prob- ability operated by the absorption, compression, and con- trolled emission of the sun's energy (basically electricity). As such, they orobably carry a potential charge which is past our imagination. An earthly object approaching too close to wey the 0.U.0. would have thesame efifiect as grounding a high- // tension wire, with the total GeStruction of both objects as ¥ \ a likely result. mah f n Assuming that some of jrege gree Shs are from outer space, we would certainly benef iit cénstder Wby establishing contact with them, where as, if such a nation as Russia should ace quire this knowledge before us wé would certainly suffer as a result AM 2 ee p Pe eae te fp ee nN ’ : FOILSNS 39 Ld3saes Nh .

It will be futile to give pursuit, or to attempt any forceful approach. From reports, we have no reason to believe these objects have anything but friendly intentions, also, they may be restrict- ed as to the distance they may approach the earth without danger. It is also my belief that given an opportunity, they will approach an earthly object, at high altitude, as close as possible without danger to either themselves or the object. If my theory approaches the truth, then these strange objects will be unable to establish contact wth the earth without our assistance. Taking the earth at an age of two billion years, having suff- ered worldly catastrophies, and set-backs, we may be as children compared to a planet of four billion years, or of equal age without catastrophies. Our scientific laws have worked well for us, however, they probably do not hold true for all planets. Lacking water and trees in the beginning we would have been an entirely different .world, perhaps even further advanced. My background includes a good foundation in high-altitude flying, and in the fiela of electricity. Although I am well established in business, it is my desire toenter the field of research related to this subject. My name is not for publication, Very truly yours, A. #8. ne W. B.

Blumenthal stated ‘earson has been in contact with Dr. W. Ae Rhodes (Phoenix telephone number 5-0048) concerning photographs which the above captioned took of flying discs in the Phoeniz area in July of 1947. Blumenthal states that Dr. Rhodes told Pearson today that the FBI borrowed his negatives of the flying discs and when asked for their return the FBI told Rhodes the negatives were not available. Blumenthal asked whether there is any truth to this statement of Rhodes and what the FBI knew about him. It appears that Pearson is tnterested in using the photographs on his television program and is desirous of borrowing them from the Bureau or having them returned to Dr. Rhodes. BACKGROUND: Bureau files reflect that on August 29, 1947, a Mr. George Fugote, Jre, called at the Phoentr Office exhibiting credentials reflecting he represented A-2, Fourth Air Force, Hamilton Field, California. He asked an Agent to accompany him to interview William Rhodes who previously reported the photographing of a flying dtse in Phoenix on the afternoon of July 7, 1947. The Phoeniz Office contacted SAC Harry Kimbail of the San Franciseo Office and Mr. Kimball verified the fact that Fugate came to Phoenix as a representctive of Colonel Donald Springer of Hamilton Field, and it was suggested the Phoeniz Office assist Fugate not in investigating the matter, but in simply talking wtth . Dr. Bhodes. By letter dated September 4, 1947, the Phoentz Office set forth in four pages the reaults of this interview and stated Fugate had requested the negatives from Rhodes who did not hove in his immedicte possession. Rhodes stcted, however, he d deliver them to the FBI the following morning for trans~ pl to Fugate at Hamilton Field, California. Mr. Ladd ir. Belmont (Pr . : } Memorandum to Mr. Tolson wane 4, 1952 On the morning of August 30, 1947, Rhodes delivered the negatives to the Phoeniz Office at pyhich time they were accepted with the understanding they were being given to Mr. Fugate,a representative of the Army Air Force intelligence, United States Army, and that there was little, if any, chance of his getting the negatives backs. Ur. Rhodes turned the negatives over to the FBI with the full understanding they were being given to the Air Force and he would not get them back. (62-83894-80, page 4) On April 17, 1950, Mr. Rhodes advised the Phoeniz Office that True Magazine would like to secure the photographs which he had made available to Air Force Intelligence. At that time Rhodes was referred to OSI, Fourth Air Force Base, San Franeisco, Cali~ fornia, since they had been made avoilable to this agency by the Phoenix Offtce on August 30, i947. By letter dated June 8, 1949, the Phoenix Office advised the Bureau that on the previous date Mr. Lynn C. Aldrich, OSI representative, Phoeniz, Arizona, called the Phoenix Office stating he had been requested by his superiors in San Fronetsco to obtain detailed information concerning the negatives since Rhodes had reque sted their return. Aldrich pointed out that Fugate's recollection on the matter was “hazy.” OSI requested and was given with Bureau approval a memorondum setting out essentially the information related above concerning this matter. ACTION TAKEN Mr. Blumenthal was advised by Wick that the FBI did not have in tts possession the negatives referred to by Mr. Rhodes and in fact Rhodes knew full well the FBI turned then over to Air Force Intelligence representatives, Fourth Air Force, Hamilton Field, California, on August 30, 1947, with the understanding he night never have them returned. Blumenthal was advised the FBI did not investigate this notter, did not investigate Rhodes, and had no interest whatsoever in the motter other than to accompany the representative from Homilton Field while interviewing Rhodes. Blumenthal was told that for these reasons, of course, we had no information concerning the reliability of Rhodes. 4 Blumenthal was most appreciative for receiving this infor~ mation and said he woulds,eontact the office of Special Investi- gations of the AirgReree’ for what assistancé thy might be to him. He said also he would, straighten out Rhodes, informing him the FBI only as a courtesy tothe “Atr Force representatives received the negatives from htm and transmitted them. ae Spe July 15, 1952 - te & Mr. Thad ¥.

Dr. McINDOO stated that the planes went over the lake, suddenly dropped objects at first thought by him to be parachutes. He continued that these objects fell straight down for a short time, then suddenly spurted vapor and at a high rate of speed flew off in a southwesterly direction. Dr. McINDOO was unable to identify the nationality of the. planes, but stated that they had twin trails of bluish smoke, He further stated that the objects which had been dropped from the planes had a single trail of bluish smoke. He stated that he had been accompanied on his fishing trip by PAUL GADDIS, Kokomo, Indiana. Dr. McINDOO had no further information concerning instant planes or the objects dropped by them.

Dr. MeIndoo stated that the planes went over the lake and suddenly dropped objects, at first thought by him to be parachutes. He continued that these objects fell straight for a skort time, then suddenly spurted vapor and at a high rate of speed flew off in a southwesterly direction. tole0s Dr. MeIndoo was unable to identify the nationality a OF the planes, but stated that they had twin trails of bluish «smoke. He further stated that the objects which had been cw @Popped from the planes had single trails of bluish smoke. — \EABsmes:4 ¥ (tb, ay \ Mf «ee - Foreign Service Desk’, /P'~ Wt UA sue} ie eer es Mie. | \ =F AvY : AUG 41 1952 | \ \ MAILED 30 Gee et 9.

W. Phileor, the Bureau's Air Force Liaison " my Representative, made arrangements through the office of ay Major General John A. Samford, Director of Air Intelligence, {Y U.S. Air Force, to receive a briefing from Commander Randall * Boud of she Current Intelligence Branch, Estimates Division, Air Intelligence, regarding the present status of Air Intelligence research into the numerous reports regarding flying saucers and flying discs. Commander Boyd advised that Air Intelligence has set up at Wright-Patterson Air Force. Bases Ohios.the,.Air Technical Intelligence Center which has..been.established. for the purpose of coordinating, correlating.and making.research into all reports regarding flying saucers and flying discs. , He advised that Air Force research has indicated that the U sightings o lying saucers goes back several centuries and that the number of sightings reported vartes wtth the amount of publicity. He advised that immediately if publicity appears in_nemspapers, the numberof sightings reported inereases considerably and that citizens immediately call in reporting ovaniieaa Witen esaurred several months previously. Commander Boyd stated that these reported sightings of flying saucers are placed into three classifications by Air Intelligence: (1) Those sightings which are reported by citizens who clain chey have seen flying saucers from the ground, These sightings vary in description, color and speeds. Very little credence is given to these sightings inasmuch as tn most instances they are believed to be imaginative or some erplatnable object which actually crossed through the sky. (2) Sightings reported by commercial or military pilots, These sightings are considered more credible RECORDED-1396 [24- 83997 _ AD ) NWPshke WeeRe HE 4) ort < 1S Peete By : = ° i z pa h - a) an ‘ PSS) oo tre OG. Hd Pe bso BE = = ss a 324] ‘< ~ "Of, = ‘ FW Oe Sse 99. i ge Ma O Stes n “ yr 3" a7 by the Air Force tnasmuch as commercial or military ptlots are experienced in the air and are not expected to see objects which are entirely imaginative, In each of these instances, the indtvidual who reports the sighting is thoroughly interviewed by a representative of Air Intelligence so that a complete description of the object stghted can be obtained. (3) Those sightings which are reported by pilots and for which there ts additional corroboration, such as recording by radar or sighting from the ground. Gekaasden Bout adetecd that thts latter classification constitutes two or three per cent of the total number of sightings, but that they are the most credible reports received and are difficult to explain. Some of these sightings are originally reported from the ground, then are observed by pilots in the air and then are picked up by radar instruments. He stated that in these instances there is no doubt that these individuals reporting the sightings actually did see something in the sky. However, he explained that these objects could still be natural phenomena and still could be recorded on radar if there was some electrical disturbance in the sky. He stated that the flying saucers are nost frequently observed in areas where there is heavy air traffic, such as WashingtonsDeCes and New York City, He advised, however, that some reports are received fron other parts of the country... covering the entire United ates and that sightings—have_also recently been reported as far distant as Acapulco, Mexico; korea and French. Morocco. He advtsed that the sightings reported in the last classification have never been satisfactorily explained, He pointed outs, however, that tt ts stili possible that these objects may be a natural phenomenon or some type of atmosphertcal disturbance. He advised that it is not entirely impossible that the objects sighted_may possibly be ships from another planet such as Mars, He advised that at @ present. time there is nothing to substantiate this theory but the possibility is not being overlooked, He stated that Air Intelligence is fairly certain that these objects are not ships or missiles from another nation in this world. Commander Boyd advised that intense research ts being carried on presently by Air Intelligence, and at the present time when eredible reportings of sightings are received, the Air Force is attempting in each instance to send up jet interceptor planes in order to «a2e obtain a better view of these objects. However, recent attempts in this regard have indicated that when the pilot in the jet approaches the object it invariably fades from view. RECOMMENDATION? None.

Edgar Hoover July 28-1952 FBI. Washn DC Dear sir, I would like to submit a theory that may lead to a solution of what the Flying saucers really are=these objects could be Lights. caused by Radio Television Beams illuminating moist vapor, not unlike phosphous on rain soaked wood in certain seasons-the northern lights “aurora Borealus"” have manifested themselves for years, setting up Electro magne- tism & Earth potential which distorts normai Telegraph Communications. The lights are somewhat like a Fan & can be seen as far south as Equator- It is my opinion that Flying Saucers are Electrically indueed currents onto a space (small clouds) and causing it to glow- this cloud being charged Electrécally and a magnetic polarity being same as the interceptor it can never be overtaken, and would if persued gradually grow Dimmer & dissappear giving the impression that it out ddstanced the persuer with a great Burst of speed. This is submitted as a theory as I do not have the power or facilities to prove or disprove. But I submit a suggestion whereby a test could be made. When these saucers appear again Have the TV @ all Broadcasts silenced from the air and check for results-this may not change immediately, as other Elements in this Build up can not be turned off or on at a given signal. However I firmly believe that, if the idea as set forth in my crude way is submitted to more learned persons then I some solution is inevitable. /s/ Dewey T.

Fellow Americans, I am writing the same letter to all three Departments. On August lst, I wrote a letter, and mailed tt on August 2nd, to the Air Force Intelligence telling my views of a flying saucer. In about four days the physicist Noel Scott gave out a report of findings identical to my report. Now if I have hit upon the meaning of a flying saucer I would ltke to get the credit for it. I have reason to believe my ideas have been hi-jacked. It should be easy to find out, When did Mr. Seott start his experiment? Which office did my letter go through? Was my letter placed on file? It had a return address. If you cannot find it that proves it was destroyed and the information used. I have much better working proof of my theory than Mr. Scott, which has been before me all along, until I hit upon the idea. The solution should not have been published, There is a great déal more to it than that, which I can explain. the idea should have been worked out thoroughly and secretly. Rainmakers could probably do a great deal of harm with the answer. There is a possibility that it could mean an entirely different type of air warfare. The Air Force could possibly use it for defensive warfare, It could lead to manmade flying saucers which the enemy could use against us. Man-nade flying saucers possibly could be used ia conjunction with atom and hydrogen bombs or to destroy them. Astronomers could use the information to predict about other Planets or planetary warfare. This information could be of use ina trip to the moon. Does the Air Force wish me to keep my impressions to myself or shall I give a statement to the press? My Country comes first if the information should be kept secret. I signed my other letter “respectfullys!" When a lady fron Virginia pays her respects to the Air Force she expects the Air Force to pay its respects right back to her. Respectfully, Mrs. Nellte T.
