Documents / FOIA release
This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section collects 1949 Army intelligence reports of unidentified aerial objects seen around Camp Hood, Texas, forwarded by the San Antonio office, which told the Director it was reviewing and destroying such reports unless they held FBI interest. It also has 1957 FBI liaison memoranda on a radar-tracked object near Montauk Point and Benton, Pennsylvania, judged unlikely to be a Soviet operation. The file also includes a civilian Flying Saucer Researchers release arguing that saucers probably come from Mars.

PURPOSE: 1 To obtain as many reports as possible using this magazine as the clearing center for all reports, in order to keep up to date on all saucer sightings. 2 To study these reports for individual and overall patterns in an attempt to understand the motives and possible future actions of the extra-terrestials causing them. POLICIES: The Saucer Review is a quarterly newsmagazine printed in exchange for these clippings, for persons who recognize the importance of this phenomenon, and who want to help follow it by sending in all recent or old reports in their papers. The Saucer Review uses all clippings received to directly contact the original area of sighting, for the most complete and best coverage of each report. You can obtain extra clippings by calling your local papers and asking for the clipping department or 'library', then asking for the dates of newspaper editions that carried saucer clippings and meteor reports, and then either sending the requested amount in postage, or informing the Review who will obtain the reports. This is a sure method of catching reports you may miss as they appear in the papers and also get them as far back as 7 months. One method of easing the asking for these reports is to ask for meteor data, and mention they might mistakenly be included among Flying Saucer Reports. The DATE of each report is extremely important, and each clipping would be more useful with the newspaper name and date torn out and sent with the clipping. The analyzes all flying saucer reports ubing as a working theory, not a definitely established fact that they are caused by one or more extra-perrestial life forms. This is in turn based upon a careful study of all available historical reports, including the Works of Charles Fort; during this study, I fact located definitely backs this origin, with much more unexplained data apparently backing it. However, the entire subject is still open to other theories, as there is simply insufficient data at present to abbsolute prove their origin, and this working theory will be used untill such proof is presented. ## CONTENTS: Section 1 - Revrite Section of all reports down to the basic facts of description of object and its actions, to separate newspaper color from reports, in making analysis. Section 2 - Analysis Section of all reports to find if any motive or pattern can be discovered, and possible future activity. Section 3 - Historical Report Section of past reports with
