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.

ANALYSIS OF SAUCER REPORTS #15 to 43, from July 1 to October 30, 1951 analyzes flying saucer reports using as a temporary working theory, not as a definitely established fact, that they are caused by one or more extra-terrestrial life forms. This in turn is based upon a careful personal study of the various books on the subject, including the works of Charles Fert; during this study, I fact seems to definitely back this theory with much more unexplained date apparently backing it. However, the entire subject is still considered open to other theories, as there is simply insufficient data that will give absolute, acceptable to any theory of their origin Until such proof is available, and has a more or less scientific basis this working theory will be used. OVERALL PATTERNS: #1 Amount of saucer activity - has definitely increased, from 14 reps during the first 6 months, to 28 during the following 4 months. I believe this was caused by the closest approach of Venue in 19 months with Venus Inferior Conjunction occurring on Sept. 3, and the 4 (know formations of gigantic saucers (or saucer carriers) observed over Tex 2 weeks prior to this date. My records show this has been generally true of Mars and Venus approaches in the last 7 years, and I list some prior data backing this; it is interesting to note that the rare " rocketship" sightings were observed on these dates. July 1948 Venus Inferior Conjunction July 1948 Venus Inferior Conjunction (Keyhoe 72,162 July20,1948 Arnheim, Holland. Rocketship-like object with 2 decks no wines, was seen 4 times, travelling at great speed July 24 1948 US. Famous Chilea-shitted observation of a blue-edge rocketship with flaming red exhaust occurred (Keyhoe6 July 26 1948 Brisbane, Australia. Large 'meteor' passed over. It was watched for 10 seconds by an airline pilot whose description was "a bluish-steel colored ball with trailing red flame", and which he thought at first was a " rocket rather than an aircraft". (Apparently, the possibility of its being a meteor did not occur to this trained observer.) (Doubt Vol. 24, p367) Aug-Oct 19' 6 Sweden. Hundreds of rocket-like fiery objects were observed. Nov. 12 1946 Venus Inferior Conjunction. Nov. 12 1946 Providence Bay, Siberia. Huric fiery-white object crossed over. IV. Tincs May 1945 Venus Inferior Conjunction June 1 1945 Horgantown, North Carolina. Silvory rocketship-like object apparently struck nearby mountains. (Doubt) Of course, this does not explain all reports, just that an increase of such dates is noticeable. Very generally speaking, Venus seems to me rockets and fiery cone-like or ball-like objects, and Mars opposition seems to mean saucers, aerial explosions, and peculiar earthquakes, and parallel Forts conclusions on earlier approaches. Considering the Mars Opposition coming up on APRIL 30, 1952, and the recent increase of report during the Venus Conjunction, a new phase of saucer activity may be expected, possibly direct communication or landings in some prominent area, such as Kansas, which is noted for its long and suspicious history of meteors and meteoric explosions, the last such being on Feb. 18, 1948, when a tremendous explosion occurred over it
