This part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's UFO file collects FBI and Air Force correspondence from about 1950 to 1953. It includes an Air Force OSI district summary of aerial phenomena in New Mexico from December 1948 to May 1950, which reports that green fireballs occurred near sensitive installations and remained unexplained. It also holds a 1950 sighting of an orange sphere by a New Haven chemical engineer, a report from jet pilots near Fairbanks, a Los Alamos reporting form, and 1953 memos on sighting tips that the FBI passed on without investigating.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D. C. Gentleman: A relative of nine living in Circleville, Ohio has advised me of the following account. The years ago a respected farmer living near Circleville saw a lighted object dancing around, flying around in the air near him late at night in a pasture or field, -- a flying saucer. In the time this came to have general knowledge in the country, and about one year ago the story appeared in the Circleville newspaper. Since then he is prepared to have been consulted with representatives of the F.P.I., so it is said there, and only three weeks ago or so it is said the F.I. representatives come to consult with him again. This time they brought pictures to show the former of various types of these flying saucers or space ships that have been approached by the government from time to time, and the former was able to identify one of them as the type of thing he had seen two years ago. The former was told, as the story goes, by your representatives, that the particular flying cancer he identified in the type that is known to have been fallen from the planet Nara, and that similar ships have been captured, and that your agency or the government hold captive one man at least in California, who was taken from one of these things from Nara. This Martian it is understood is now being taught how to speak English -- in California -- and taught American customs. It is said that it is apparent that this Martian comes from a civil much more advanced than our own civilisation... and that this account has general knowledge as reported here in that community. I understand that the former is a lie , that he is hold in very high repute in the community , prosperous , conservative and of presumed sound mind . ELIGPED . 65 INGED OFFICIAL DIRECTOR 32.
