Federal Bureau of Investigation · 169 pages · text by GLM-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.

OBJECTS SIGHTED OVER OAK RIDGE, TENNESSEE (continued)

"Intelligence-officer reports that leaked out, however, state that the disc was large and that smoke was coming from it. There was no report as to whether the smoke was black, white or lavender blue. The same reports also indicated that the objects came close to the ground and that the men were unmistaken in their identity of it.

"No one will even say whether it was day or night, whether it was raining or the moon was shining when the three men happened to look up. However, Moneymaker works the day shirt."

NOTES: Neither of the incidents mentioned in this summary were verified by Radar screen sightings at McGhee-Tyson Airport, Knoxville, Tennessee.
