65 HS1-834228961 62-HQ-83894 Section 005

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.

Mr. Ernest Cuneo 40 Wall Street New York, New York

Dear Ernie:

You will recall the telephone conversations about Mr. Peter Camerlon Jones, 164 West 37th Street, Los Angeles 7, California, and information furnished by him on the subject of flying saucers.

I thought you would like to know that efforts made to locate Mr. Jones have been unsuccessful and casual inquiry in the vicinity he mentioned did not develop information about any one who is acquainted with him.

I thought you might wish to consider the possibility that the original letter in this matter may have been a prank.

Sincerely yours,
