Documents / FOIA release
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.

It gets its power from electricity generated by a gen generator. The generator is run from a revolving disc, thus giving the flying disc a disc-like appearance. By the use of gear the revolving disc is able to generate 10 or 20 times more power than is needed. The faster the disc goes, the more power. By use of the new light weight electric motors, there is less weight, and less space taken. The revolving disc is in side of a light shell. Forward motion of ship allows disc to revolve, generating electric power. This way, the flying disc could fly almost any length of time. Compressed air could be used to start power disc.
