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.

Closed: Incident Report No. 1424-50 Date: By: Date 10-16-50 W.R.: Time 1:30 p.m. M.R.: CLASSIFICATION TROOPER LOCATION Flying Object John L. Isabell Blair Gate PERSON INVOLVED BADGE NO. Trooper Lendelle Clark 212 Trooper Hand M. Briggs 156 ## REMARKS: At approximately 1:30 P.M., October 16, 1950, while working at Blair Gate, I saw an object in the air over K-25 traveling in a northeast direction from the southwest. It was traveling in a straight line and going very fast. The object was white or silvery in color and round like a ball and was about the size of a baseball as seen at the distance it was from me. It seemed to be very high. At exactly 2"55 P.M., October 16, 1950, this object reappeared from the northeast at a considerably lower altitude and traveling a lot slower than before. It stopped a car that was coming in the gate in order to have witnesses to what I saw. The occupants of the car were Troopers Lendella Clark and Hank N. Briggs going in to work. I pointed out the object to Troopers Clark and Briggs and we watched the object for several minutes. This object was slowly circling in a wide circle and spinning very fast, that is, the object itself was spinning around and around. The object drifted toward the southwest and in just a few minutes it reappeared at a very high altitude going back into the northeast and going very fast. We watched the object disappear into the northeast. This information was phoned in to Headquarters immediately by the undersigned. About fifteen minutes after the object disappeared into the northeast, an F-82 Fighter plane showed up in the area where the object was last seen but appeared to be thousands of feet lower than the object which Troopers Clark, Briggs, and the undersigned saw and reported.
