I I/Director, FBI

Attention: Assistant Director D. M. LADDFLYING DISCSBE: -EPORTS OF

Dear Sir;

I am transmitting herewith copies of a"restricted" letter datt�September 5, 1947, which was furnished to me by Lieutenant Colonel�_!~-2, Army Air Forces, Hamilton Field, California, whic letter J Ais designated to certain Commanding Generals in the Army Air Forces from b�/CCol0ne1_ Assistant Chief of Staff - Intelligence, HeadquartersAir Defense Command, Mitchel Field, New York, concerning "Cooperation of FBIwith AAF on Investigations of �Flying Disc� Incidents".

It is my understanding from recent Bureau instructions that we are Itto assist the Air Force Intelligence personnel in the investigation of flying 5'disc incidents. However, it will be noted from the attached letter that itis Army interpretation that it was their intent that the Bureau would inveeti-Fgate those incidents of the sc=oel1ed "discs" being found on the ground and Iapparently not those which are observed only in flight. Further, the atten-tion of the Bureau is respectfully called to paragraph two of this letter �

and to the last sentence therein which states, "The s_e_:__'vi§e__s of the,F_BI_ wereenlisted in order to relieve the nubered Air Forces of the task of tracking §down_all the��§�§"instances which turned out to be ash can_covers, toilet �seats and whatnot-"

- In the first place, the instructions issued by the Army Air Forcesin this letter appear to limit the type of investigations which the Bureau

- will be asked to handle and secondly it appears to me the wording of the lastsentence in the second paragraph mentioned above is cloaked in entirely

uncalled for language tending to indicate the Bureau will be asked to condmité_ /�investigations only in those cases which are not important and which age //Vi -

almost in fact ridiculous. p ,~ �k

The thought has occurred to me the Bureau slight desire to discussthis matter further with the Army Air Forces both as to the types of investi-

gation: which we-sill conduct and also to object to the scurrilous wordagc"which, to say the least, is insulting to�the�-Bureau in the last sentence of

paragraph two. I / __ _,. � ..- == ,. , j,-- 92 ."'-1.. H�, .1. I. /I REQORDED ___;_;,,_ 1

_�,_._

In the event the Bureau decides to discuss the matter further with

the Army Air Forces, it is recommended that no indication whatsoever begiven indicating this letter was referred to me by Lieuterient colonel" . Ii-�inasmuch as it would undoubtedly cause him serious embs'r.ressmen"t;and would certainly cause the excellent personal relationship which exists

between Lieutenant Colonel -end this office to be endangered.

Director, FBI September ld, l947

LENNIG COMPANY is about two and one-half miles southeast from Oxford Circle.

The account of the fire does not seem to fit into the general pattern of the

above-mentioned flying object, for itis noted that the flying object wasallegedly traveling from a position northeast of Oxford Circle to a south- iswesterly direction in Philadelphia. *ointed out that, to the bestof his knowledge, there are no oil refineries and chemical companies locatedaround Oxford Circle or north of such, but that all of the companies of thistype are several miles south of Oxford Circle.

All logical investigation having been conducted, no further actionwill be taken on the instant matter unless advised to the contrary by theBureau. - - -_

Reference is made to Bureau Bulletin No. £2 dated July 39, £/1'5?191+-7. _

This is to advise that two army officers reported to the X /'Office of the Director of Intelligence, headquarters Alaskan Department,at Fort Richardson, Alaska, that they had witnessed an object passingthrough the air at a tremendous rate of speed which could not be judged

as to miles per hour.

1.

The first officer stated that his attention was attracted to

this airborne object, and he in turn pointed it out to the second of-ficer. The object appeared to be shaped like a sphere and did not give �the irrpression of being saucer-like or comparable to a disk. The first-*officer stated that it would be impossible to give minute details con-

cerning the object, but that it appeared to be approximately two or threefeet in diameter and did not leave any vapor" ' trail in the sky; � 'D121"-�E :*1�f�'**�=�*7'7-"~r�~

_ Both officers attempted to determine the approxiniate altitudeof the object, and from a weather group stationed nearby it was de-termined �that cloud formations at the time the object was sighted were�"scattered above 10,000 feet." --The object was �noted to be travelingbelow the cloud formation. 7

The first officer stated that in his opinion the object ap-peared to be metallic and was silver in color, mach like the color of

many airplanes. H�Ga.

-�SF:

' The second officer stated substantially the same facts and fa�also pointed out that the object remained within his vision for ap-

� proximately l5 to 20 seconds. When sighted, the object was travelingdue south at a speed considerably in excess of any plane. The second

officer stated that the object appeared to him to be approximately 10 §feet in diameter and compared it to half the 5133 of a-full moon on an fly '1;ordinary night. The second officer based the altitude at approximately ya,�the same as the first officer except for the fact that due to the size�

- _ he believed the object to be, he estimated the altitude to be onlyapproximately 3,000 or 4,000 feet. The object appeared broadside to

"�- the second officer, and no evidence of a spinning motion or reflection. was noted. As to the color, the seco offi pointed out that it"appeared to be a dull metal fm1fh�9J g M.� ,

lhe article went on to state that it was believed at the time that there was

some correlation between the flying disc and the hurray Island explosion, andthat RAYKOUD BALKER, Chicago magazine editor, had employed APNQLD to investi-gate and "cover" the Hurray Island explosion.

The article went on to state that on August l, 1947, at Tacoma, Washington,there was a conference among officials of the Army and Navy, who discussedthe possible relation between the Hurray Island erplosion and the appearanceof flying discs. ARNOLD was supposed to have been in attendance at thisconference. At the conference, authorities brought samples of a lava oxide

metal, allegedly taken from the scene of the Murray Island explosion.

The article stated that following the conference, two pilots left by planefor Hamilton rield, California, carrying samples of the lava oxide metal.lhe article further reported that the plane crashed near Ehmilton Field,Californis- and it was coniectured that the plane had exoloied bv reason of

the combustion of the lavauoxide metal it carried. � U

Both watched it fly outof sight behind a tree in a matter of moments, They said they then ran totheir Father and learned that he too had seen the machine,

I have just read an account in the Chicago Tribune concerningan aerial train composed of at least 9 units shaped like a

pie-plate and silvery in color, traveling at 1200 m.p.h. nearMount Ranier, as witnessed by you while flying in the vicinity.

This is quite important to me, because I have in my possessionnumerous independent confirmations of what you saw, although nonein as great detail as your account. I em interested in publishingan article in our magazine, written from a personal account by

yourself, and accompanied by pix of yourself, plane, and roughsketches by yourself, of what you saw.

�If you care to do this for me, I am prepared to pay our usual

rates of 2d perword, plus $5.00 for each photograph you canprovide, or for each sketch which can be used by our art staffto illustrate the article.

Included in this material, we'd like a short biographical

sketch of yourself as Ieuthor background" material. The

article would appear under your by-line.

If you are not interested, I would at least appreciate a

letter from you, confirming the newspaper story.

Very truly yours,

1�� "'- 57¢.It seems that ' the Chic-ego Times E-,o+ themoor; fsulll mt: 1 D606-How an C751. .|.m.4 mo, tulu mu [:6 was

running it. I knew only what-you'd told me over the phone.Now, it seems the newspapers are pestering the very devil outof all you fellows. �wired me for instructions, and I Vtold him to say nothing th the newspapers, because he'll looksilly if the army explains this as "meteors" or something likethat.

I don't blame you for being alarmed, but I trust you've had notrouble in your flying since then. Let's get that straight--there's no horrible plot infolved. It's probably true that thetwo mun killed were just accidents. It could be true that it

nus not an accident, but I don't thin]; there was any connectionwith the disks, or anything of that nature, nor is the materialfrom Murray Island to blame.

Certainly I don't think you'd suffer from completing your report

on your mission, and sending me your affidavit. Also, you'llhave some money coming for that, and no sense to tossing that outof the window. It is unfortunate that the thing seemed so bigyou had to call in army intelligence, but it vill take them along time "Lo proceed to the point I've reached inthis disk mystery.You see, you aren't the first to see them. They've been knownfor nearly forty years, and I have ample proof of that. But

your experience was the first real break toward e solution. I'd

hate to have you drop the mat�--er when all remaining to do is to

file your report with me.

_is willing to contribute his share. I hope you will too.This tling uust not be hushed up and forgotten. It's much too

important to the people of America, if not the world. And no

censorship oi� the matter is legal. You needn't fear ihet angle.

You certainly did a bang-up job of investigation, also you wroteone of the best articles about your June 2!; experience I've everseen. Please do the same on this lest business. You Gwe it to

those two men the were killed.

I'd also like to know whet developed on those pictures you took

of those "ducks", or whatever they were.
