This FBI file, released by The Black Vault, collects July 1947 Bureau memoranda, teletypes and newspaper clippings about flying disc reports. The memos record a disc found in a Twin Falls, Idaho back yard, a hexagonal object recovered near Roswell that Eighth Air Force said looked like a weather balloon with a radar reflector, and hoax discs at Laurel, Maryland, Black River Falls, Wisconsin, and Shreveport, Louisiana. It also contains Father Brasky's circular saw disc from Grafton, Wisconsin, and Kenneth Arnold's statement about his sighting.
