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.

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
