This section of FBI file 62-HQ-83894 collects Bureau correspondence and memoranda on flying saucers from 1952 to 1954. It holds letters from the public, which J. Edgar Hoover forwarded to the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations, and a 1952 teletype about a saucer-shaped light over the Savannah River Plant. It also includes an FBI Laboratory examination of the burned cap of scoutmaster D. S. DesVergers, which found no identifying residue, and instructions to field offices to refer disc reports to the Air Force.

According to the article, among other statements of the
guards, was the fact that between midnigpt and 2 o'clock rain fell
in torrents and for a few moments there was complete darkness because
the lights went off. A guard tried to ring the alarm which would set
off the siren, and it did not work; he yelled to another guard but did
not get an answer, and his voice sounded very "distant"; although he
tried to warn his chiefs personally, he could not run or even walk
fast (he had to walk slowly).
2°).-A little before the fall of Berlin, 11the motors of autos and
trucks stopped unexpectedly," without any apparent explanation; after
one hour they succeeded in starting them again. lliring this occasion
it was commented that "something rare occurred in the atmosphere."
3° - About three months ago I read in a local newsp,JBr about the "flying
saucers," with the reservation that perhaps they would be speculating
about the flying saucers; however, it is undeniable that they were
telling the truth. It stated that, according to the article from a
news agency, an officer and his associate who were flying a plane saw
a 11flying saucer." They followed it, but it, as in previous cases,
whirled about and could not be reached. However, the flying saucer new
very high and then it began a rapid descent; it stopped a few seconds
on the officer's airplane, paralizing the motors of the airplane,
(according to statements of the aviators). Later the disk flew very
high and was lcs t from view, and the airplane motors began working.
Any inference from the above statements - according to my
way of t hinking, -- that these facts may appear to be imaginary, is
dispelled by the statements of various witnesses on each occasion, and
therefore they are 11 scientific11 facts.
If on two occasions paralization of electricity occurred, as
well as what we may call paralization of vital forces (in the case of
the guards), and in said cases 11 the interference of one person,11
Dr. LINKE, is inferred, why could not Dr. LINKE also be connected with
the other two cases (2 and 3)?
It may be that all this is not in any way related and that the
flying saucers are nothing more than what has been given as a scientific
explanation, but the 11strange force, 11 about which our ancestors have not
spoken to us in history, we cannot deny.
