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.

#2 Area of Activity:has shifted from far west to general areas of midwest, central south, and northwest. Indiana had 3 reports in 1 day within a 100 mile area, or 4 reports in 7 days. Texas had 6 very important reports in 5 days, while the NY, N.J. and Pennsylvania area had 6 reports in 2 months, formerly a very weak area for observations #3 Types of saucers: The reports of saucer formations over Texas are unusual in 2 ways -- almost all reports since 1947 have been nearly all of single saucers seen. Also, the huge size of these saucerships is almost unknown, the last aerial object known to be their size was the Mantell report over Gcdman Field on Jan. 6 1948, and these huge craft possibly hint a serious changeover in action. The 2 reports of rocket-like ships over Denmark and Norway are similar to the Aug-Oct. 1946 ghost rockets over Sweden, previously mentioned.
