TRANSLATION FRCM SPANISH
Valparaiso, March 4, 1953
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington
United States, North America
Subject: Individual who may possibly be connected with
0 flying -saucers.
Dear Sir:
In writing to you who directs the influential Office of
Invest,igation which has international connections, I would like to
state the following:
1°-a) I had the opportunity to read in a "Chilean" police magazine, in
the section entitled, "Perfect Escapes," the escape of Dr. LINKE
(42 years old, widower, who some~e in 1950, in London, was arrested
on the 8th floor of the Building of Departments (?). The reason for
his detention was his possible collaboration with VLADIMm VLASAV in
11divulging to foreign goverrments English aviation secrets".)
In his attempt to get away, which occurred between 4 and S
in the morning, a strange thing happened, "when the police came near
the 8th floor, the whole building became dark, the elevators stopped
and the telephones and loudspeakers became silent. When the police
arrived on the 8th floor with their flash lights, they immediately
went off. (Nevertheless, he was arrested at 6 A.M.) .
b) Dr. LINKE escaped from the Kent P.rison ( a few days after
be was imprisoned) and according to statements of the author of the
article, which should be accurate, he did it in the following manner:
Between 12 midnight and 2 A.M. , in rainy weather, nr. JULIUS LINKE
disappeared under the following circumstances: the electricity, elevators,
telephones, and flash lights of the guards would not function.
