I zt?l-view of the current hysteria concerning the
so-called 1'-fl_y1ng saucers", I thought that the Bureau
might be interested 1n the .following in.formation concern
ing the captioned organization .
I am transmitting herew1th certain 11terature con
cerning the captioned organization which was furnished to
me by FRANCIS OHM, who operates the Businessmens Assurance
Company in San Diego and who has his office in the same
building housing the FBI office.
It is of interest to note that on Friday, August ,
1952, at approximately 12:00' noon, FRANCIS OHM as ked to set
me urgently, which I did. As a member of the captioned
organization, he advised me that they were having a meeting
at 1 :00 PM the same day, inasmuch as they had been advise
that they had some v~ry important information to discuss .
He went on to relate that thro ugh t he means utilized by hta
organi zation (which the enclo sed literature will reflect
border s on the ocoult) , they were able to prognosticate
well in advance the rece~t earthquake which occurred in
Tehachapi, California. He advised that they have also
been able to obtain the fol lowing information:
1. That a very severe tidal wave will hit the
Pacific Ocean sometime in the not too remote future and
that moat of the Japanese Islands will be washed away
and disappear.
2 . That all .fishes with scales in Japanese
waters will soon leave these waters for other destina
tions, in view of the oncoming tidal wave .
3. That this tidal wave will wash away the
Hawaiian Islands .
4. That the West Coast of the United States will
likewise be affected by this tidal wave.
5 . That they prognosticated the appearance of
a new island in the Pacific which was publ ished in the
newspapers within the past week.
