Serge~ Lonis said that he had examined the 11 flying disc.11 He said that it had been made from a Gulf Oil sign and the top of a garbage can and had been painted with aluminum paint. It had been recently painted because the paint was still wet. Attached to it were a dry cell battery, a flashlight bulb, sor.ie v.ii.res and a buzzer. He asked if the Bureau was sending anyone out to look at it. I told him that we vrere not, that we had referred the matter to the Army, and suggested that he call them. I subsequently telephoned Captain Calvert, the Duty Officer at G-2, and passed on to him the infonn.ation f'urnished by Sergeant Lonis. FPG:jc 6
