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.

But I ehall announce the names of my comrades only after
I have received a contract pertaining to license or gratuities and
after my arrival. in the U. S. However, it must be added that I shall
not lay out the money for the passage if sane firm accepts me f or the
construction of the flying machines. But in addition to all that I -
need someone who lives over there and who knows the English language,
and now I am asking you, my dear Mr. PIWETZ,whether you can
function as my manager as they say in the U. S. A. Well, you know
that the manager receives payment, and I believe that you will
enjoy working with me later on inventions when I am over there.
Incidentally I mention that I took a course as a chemist.(The 11 Do11 -
apparatuses, later called fog - or rocket-missiles, originated with me
and also many other things. ) I hope that you can decipher my
hieroglyphic script. Such small writing is not in my line. So that
you may see that I am not exaggerating, I declare upon oath that t he
invention, known by the name of "flying saucer, 11 is my own, that I know
the men who are building these machines in South America, and that I
can construct the above-described machine myself and attain at least
2000 km.
/s/ A. DORNIG.
I hope that you will be interested in it. I am awaiting
your communication very hopefully.
With friendly greetings,
Respectfully,
/s/ ADOLF DORNIG
