This is Section 5 of the FBI's flying disk file 62-HQ-83894, made up of 1949 and 1950 correspondence. Most of it covers a letter sent to Walter Winchell by Peter Camerlon Jones, who said he saw a silver top-shaped object near Los Angeles in 1947. The Los Angeles office could not find him, and the Bureau suggested the letter was a prank. The section also holds a Navy intelligence report on 6 or 7 discs seen over southern Oregon on 27 May 1949, plus several letters from citizens.

I rushed to my east door to try to distinguish a plane motor or some sound of motor or a possible crash maybe a few blocks away . But I heard nothing so I again explained & report to the 7th B.I. Lere, I could not judge the distance of the object. Now my own radio has not been working for about 2 weeks ; so that I do not recently caught all the news . But a friend of mine tells me that according to radio news , the saucers are again appearing . and are now disintegrating Now Mr . Hoover if this matter that I shall mention Now Mr. Hoover if this matter that I shall mention here is by chance out of your jurisdiction , then I pray that you either mail this to some one ( the right one ) or put it into the hands ( directly ) to some responsible Gov . Official whom you are sure will give the matter serious study and considerat When the two tornados hit Woodward Okaa several years ago within a few days or a few weeks of each other.

That the first ones of about the year of the tornados came back to the base there , and that they served a tri-purpose . photograph simultaneously record distance altitude temperature. Thus with data returning via the " saucers " the Russians may by this means have every foot of our U.S. Q photographed and our vital areas spotted. No doubt the " saucers " are built round and like this view from the side would have only one edge and spin like a top thrum the air with slots around the saucer where I have placed the dots.
