Staunton, Va. Route 3 August 12, 1952 Air Force Intelligence F. B. I. Justice Dept. Fellow Americans, I am writing the same letter to all three Departments. On August 1st, I wrote a letter, and mailed it on August 2nd, to the Air Force Intelligence telling my views of a flying saucer. In about four days the physicist Noel Scott gave out a report of findings identical to my report. Now if I have hit upon the meaning of a flying saucer I would like to get the credit for it. I have reason to believe my ideas have been hi-jacked. It should be easy to find out. When did Mr. Scott start his experiment? Which office did my letter go through? Was my letter placed on file? It had a return address. If you cannot find it that proves it was destroyed and the information used. I have much better working proof of my theory than Mr. Scott, which has been before me all along, until I hit upon the idea. The solution should not have been published. There is a great deal more to it than that, which I can explain. The idea should have been worked out thoroughly and secretly. Rainmakers could probably do a great deal of harm with the answer. There is a possibility that it could mean an entirely different type of air warfare. The Air Force could possibly use it for defensive warfare. It could lead to man-made flying saucers which the enemy could use against us. Man-made flying saucers possibly could be used in conjunction with atom and hydrogen bombs or to destroy them. Astronomers could use the information to predict about other planets or planetary warfare. This information could be of use in a trip to the moon. Does the Air Force wish me to keep my impressions to myself or shall I give a statement to the press? My Country comes first if the information should be kept secret. I signed my other letter "respectfully." When a lady from Virginia pays her respects to the Air Force she expects the Air Force to pay its respects right back to her. Respectfully, Mrs. Nellie T. Dull Route 3 Staunton, Virginia
