RE:· PAUL L . PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING
in Vienna, Austria , sometime during late 1943 or early 1944.
PEYERL also assumed the secretsi:ertaining to this aircraft
were captured by Allied Forces . He said this type of aircraft
was responsible for the downing of a t least one American B-26
airplane . He furnished the following fuel and engine data:
" ... . Fuel mixture of N2H4O in Methyl Alcohol
(CH3OH) rather than ' oxygen-holding ' mixture of
hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in water . 7m 1,3m high two
rocket motors ; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000
meters per second...• "
PEYERL sai d he copied t his data from a board
located in the hanger area.
PEYERL asserted he was shot down by the British
on March 14, 1945, after having been reassigned to the
Western Front . He was held prisoner by the British in
London and later in Brussels until his release in 1946 .
He departed for the United States from Bremerhaven, Germany,
on December 26, 1951; entering the United States in New
Jersey on January 7, 1952, and was subsequently naturalized
in Miami during 1958. He is presently employed as a
mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida . He related
he was born May 3 , 1924, in Austria .
PEYERL stated he has withheld this information
because he assumed the United States possessed it . He has
become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed
reports concerning a similar object and denials the United
States has such an aircraft . He feels such a weapon would
be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss
of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
PEYERL reiterated he has the original negatives
of both photographs. He said the shots were taken at a thirty
second time exposure .
