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.

Eguyres told the NEOSHO DAILY DEMO CRAT the "turtle shell" looked "like an object made in the United States which was piloted by humans, or some man from Mars." He sketched this drawing, which later was retouched by Neosho's Don Draper. The only details missing in this drawing from his description are more propellers which were deleted in order to show the windows better. Eguyres said he saw the object hover in a field near Pittsburg early in the morning while he was on his way to work. He said it suddenly rose straight up in the air like a light cord when he approached, rounding "like a corner of a hundred quad taking off." The man described the "faucet" or having a dull aluminum appearance with a blue light, calling from the windows. He said he The strange ch from by Eastern Coast Capt.
