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.

IJear Mr Hoover:
I don ' t know if you analy2e arti cles so will
send you a sample of (something that looks like tinsel)
because my uncle found it in a pasture in a r ound pile ,
underneath of it, it looks as tho the clover was burned .
& there are 3 similar patches which are burned in a
triangle form . Last Sunday Morning the Neighbors Wife
got up to get a drink of water & happned to see a steady
white Light circling thei r farm, but didn ' t pay any
attention to it. Than Sunday morn . when my uncle went
to get the cows, he saw this stuff shining in the Sun
light. It couldn't of been dropped out of a plane as it
was loose & not in a container & the nearest road is
about a j mile from the pasture & now we are wondering
what it is . So would l ike to have you analyze it & let
me know.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Wm Hoffmeye r
