Documents / FOIA release
This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section compiles 1950 to 1952 reports of unidentified aerial objects shared with the FBI. Most of it is an Air Force OSI investigation, dated May 12, 1952, into Donald Stewart's claim that a disc hovered over his car on Ritchie Highway near Baltimore. His companion George Tyler III later admitted he saw nothing. The file also covers disks seen at the Savannah River Plant, radar and visual sightings over Oak Ridge, a Fairbanks, Alaska jet pilot report, and an Ashland, Kentucky sighting.

## AT GLENN B' E, VARYLAND 15. Mr. ROBERT MEADOWS, Proprietor of a Shell Service Station, located at 1501 Ritchie Highway, approximately three hundred (300) yards north of the intersection of Ritchie Highway and U.S. Route #301, was interviewed on 11 May 1952, and advised that to the best of his recollection he had been on duty in the station on the night the above incident was said to have occurred, and that to his knowledge no such incident took place. MEADOWS related that had the aircraft traveled in the direction as alleged, he would surely have observed it; or if he had not been on duty that night, he would surely have been informed of the incident by the man who had been on duty at the time. MEADOWS informed the writer that it was highly unlikely in his opinion that any three (3) minute period could elapse without the passage of several automobiles at the time the above incident was alleged to have occurred. 16. Mr. WILLIAM ROBLECKE, Jr., employee of Howard Johnson Restaurant, located at the intersection of Ritchie Highway and U. S. Route 301, was interviewed on 11 May 1952 and advised that he had no knowledge of the above incident. ## AT CURTIS PAY, MARYLAND 17. Mr. WAHLEN HOLLINS, Drawbridge Operator, Curtis Bay Bridge, was interviewed on 11 May 1952 and advised that he is the regular drawbridge operator on the Curtis Bay Bridge on the 1600 hours to 2400 hours shift. HOLLINS stated he was on duty the evening of the 29th of March 1952 and that he had not observed, nor ever observed, any unconventional aircraft. HOLLINS further advised that he did not make a report to the Anne Arundale Police Department of such an incident. ## AT BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 18. On 11 May 1952 Mr. GEORGE S. TYLER III, aged sixteen (16), was interviewed at 10:30 hours and repeated the same story as he related to CORBIN. One variance in the story was that the car engine did not stop until after STEJART and TYLER had gotten out. 19. GEORGE S. TILER, Jr., father of GEORGE S. TILER III, was interviewd on 11 May 1952 and stated that he believes the story is made up. TYLER stated STENART is a peculiar person, and he has known him for several years. TYLER thinks STENART made it up to get his name in the papers. TYLER also stated that Ritchie Highway is very crowded and more than one person would have seen it. Mr. TYLER thinks that if his son had seen it he would have discussed it with him or some other member of the family, but he did not do so. SECURITY INFORMATION--CONFIDENTIAL
