That the flying saucers are not fantasies; that
fac tual and actual; that his associates in the captioned
conversation with the men operating
saucers, end that they have asked t hat high officials
are here on our
peaceful mlssion and that they are not on a warlike
However, if the u. s. Government continues to send
planes after these flying saucers and if these planes fire on
the flying saucers, they have disintegrators which they will
utilize and which will disintegrate these plm. es completely in
no time n at.
Mr. OHM requested tha t either I myself attend the
meeting at lr OO PM or that I designate a stenographer to attend
the meeting, s o that she could take down all the minutes of the
meeting. I tol d him that unfortunately this was very short
noti ce, that I had another commitment and that our stenographers
were pretty well occupied at that time. He s ald he would advise
me of anything important that might transpire at the meeting .
As of August 2, 19.52, he has not a dvised me of anything which
transpired at the meeting.
I should like to point out that OHM appears to be
a perfectly sane , sound i ndividual; he operates a very l arge
i nsurance business in San Di ego, and is convinced in his o-wn
mlnd of the effic acy of this organl zation.
No investig ation is b eing conducted concerning this
matter and I do not contempl ate attending any meetings of this
organi zation .
