There are enclosed -%+re»- clippings concerning what. has
been described as a flying disc sighted at Redford, Virginia on
Hay 12, 191+!. The Buré'a-T1I frT¬;-Q7 '¬§IFé to refer this to the Department
of the Air Force. This office has no in.ior~mation other than that
appearing in the news items which appear to cover the best infonration
available. The matter was not reported directly to this office and,
therefore, no investigation or inquiries are being made and none ofthe individuals who allegedly saw the thing have been interviewed.

1 Zoundsl Here we go again! Inter-
ipianetory space-ship? Visitor from
Mars? A new Russian rocket ship'.'.
Airgoing submarine? Just take yo-ur_
choice, your guess is every bit as;
mod as the next one according to:
1repnrLi from various sections of Vir-Fginia and Tennessee on last nighfsi
istrange phenomenon.
What it was, where it came fromand where it was going. no one.
;knows. but even Civil Aeronautics
EA-clministration officials were puzzled
and had no answer.
Whatever the thing was, it re-isembied a long cigar, with a bright
red nose and trailing srnolre. Re-
92pori.s coinciding with that descrip-
tion came from localities along an
almost direct line through Tennessee
and Virginia and seemed suicient
to convince even the most skeptical;
that _what the callers said they had.
seen was no gment of imagination. -
The descriptions generally in-
ciicated the object came over the
southwest horizon and resembled :1
streak of re. There seemed to be
red lights or a poweriul red glow in
the nose 0! the object. Fan back at|
the tail there was re and smoke.V The rst report came from Hos-.
nolce about 8 o'clock when J. S.
Mays and W. F. Mullins. both of that
city. said they noticed the object.
It. looked like a streak of re."
said Mays, and appeared to be go-
ing almost straight up and was
stepping on it." _ ;
Suddenly, he said, it appeared to
level of! and head eastward, re-
sembling "a snake wiggling on
water. .

flare was noticed at 1:145 a.m., Harsh 7, 191+!, apprmdmatcly three miles from

stated that it is a known fact that the Russians are attempting to develop
some type of nuclear snug, that they received a wealth of iniorms.tion concern-
ing nuclear energy at the time of their occupation in Gersneny, and that they too
