This section of FBI file 62-HQ-83894 collects Bureau correspondence on flying disks from 1949 and 1950. Most of it concerns a letter to Walter Winchell, passed on by Ernest Cuneo, from Peter Camerlon Jones, who said he saw a top-shaped silver object in the mountains near Los Angeles in August 1947. Los Angeles agents could not find Jones, and Hoover suggested the letter might be a prank. The file also holds a Navy intelligence report on 6 or 7 discs seen over southern Oregon on 27 May 1949, plus letters from members of the public about Chicago and Toronto.

The flying saucer which was seen over south Chicago last April, is a large fuel tank with crystal glass wings. It has two large jet engines on both sides. It is radio controlled. It resembles a saucer very much when in flight 62-83894·242 The wings cannot be seen on a clear day. This is so it is a most difficult target for anti-aircraft gunners. The reason for the large flat gas or fuel tank in to give the ship a long range for atomic bombing. The ship was designed by Fred Spauhold, a former "Linco" skywriter. Frank Houchpaw, aircraft mechanic, and Carl Deichman German world war I are. The ship was financed by Howard Hughes, millivolt aviation enthusiast. It is now being tested by the Glenn Y. 62-83894-242
