FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 16
Federal Bureau of Investigation · 169 pages · text by OCR
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.

## Pint
#41 Codv, Wyoming: A confusing report. The object resembled no known bird or moth or aircraft, but does resemble the coming Delta wing airplane shape, with a rocketship-like tube body. Its lack of motion noise is typical of saucer reports. It is also doubtful the newspaper would or could fake the photo, and naturally would need the negative to check it, and make prints. On the other hand, the entire top of the photo appears different than the bottom, being somewhat grainy, and the object has a sort of white edging as is noticed in superimposition photography. I am inclined to accept report on base the newspaper would not fake it. Vill try to get more on this report
