the subject of a letter from the Atlanta office to the Bureau dated August 10, 1948, entitled, DITCHLUTION CONCERNING." She has written many letters to Military authorities concerning her theories regarding atomic Energy. She has generally been considered unreliable and possibly mentally unbalanced. She, however, has submitted to Military authorities the only theory thus far known that has any credibility at all, namely, that the lights are manifestations of cosmic rays which are directed toward a specific point. She further theorizes that such rays may interfere with the ignition of motors and may account for various unexplained air crashes. The above is submitted for the confidential information of the Bureau and offices to which copies of this letter are directed so that these offices may evaluate any such reports they may have received or may receive in the future. It is noted that the Fourth Army has the responsibility of protecting vital installations at Los Angeles, New Mexico, Sardinia Dye, New Mexico, and Cairo, Noida, Texas. Any information developed should be expeditiously transmitted to G-2, Fourth Army. It is further noted that G-2 and O.S.I. are actively engaged in investigating this matter. No investigation is being conducted by this office.
