Q '
'I en ettachin; hereto e number of c reports being received
in greet nuzbere in this office concerning the eoce11ed flying
disk: or unnetural phenomena being frequently obee:-ved around Camp
Hood, Texas. This ie, of course, n primary concern 0! the Air
Ccrpe. Consequently, this office ie following the practice of
reviewing these date and then destroying than in the event there
lppr tc be nothing of FBI interest therein. It in pointed out
that the filin; of these would result in the rapid accumulation
of very bulky files.
Unleee the Bureau believes thin in unwie, this gfectice will
continue.

Long Island, New York, and Benton, Pennsylvania, detected anueemunidentified object proceeding in a westward direction with {~__
an altitude of 50,000 feet and a speed of 2,000 knots
approximately e,soo miles per hour! on -September lose.
The IAC intelligence evaluation of this report reflected
that 'Ut is highly improbable that a Soviet operation is
' '-1 I
"M ' Today, at an Executive Session of the IAO,
General Hillard Lewis, Director, Air Force Intelligence, .
advised that although the ADC has not completed its investik
|gation of the evidence on this matter, there are continuingindications that the object detected was an atmospheric
phenomenon. The radar pickups now reflect speed variations
.n in the object's course, ranging from 1,500 miles per hour to
" 4,500 miles per hour. This latter speed is improbable
. according to U. S. scientific theory for any type jlying
' object which this could conceivably be. General Lewis added
2 that the present sun spots are associated with the peculiar
radar activity throughout the globe and that this could have
some cause jbr the captioned report.

coincided with the Montauk Point pickup and-was tracked by.Eenton for

- by the Air Defense Command that the original reports had been down
graded, since there was an ll-minute break in the tracking by the
various radat_stations, and further that weather istationsa in the

it;was reported that the phenomena reported west of Buffalo, New York,
were not related to the object as reported by Hontauk Point and

over the U.S. It is unlikely that a Soviet airoraft Old Ovndui
a mission at this speed and altitude and return to Soviet territory.
The Soviets are given credit for the capability of a'submarine
launched cruise-type missile of low supersonic performance and a
range of about 500 nautical miles; however, there is no evidence
. of the existence of such a missile by the Soviets.
The Watch Committee also examined possible Soviet motives
for launching a one way missile on an operation over the U.S., and
it was concluded that there would be little motivation at this time

Committee ruled out one way reconnaissance operations on the likelihood
that the results would be of small value and the risk of compromise
would be very great. This possible retaliatory motive by the Soviets
could be in response twdwk-idégde to a U.S. Vfroject Aquatone"
flight over the USSR which was detected on September 9, I956, by
Soviet planes and mentioned in my memorandum of September 19, 195?.!

The above is submitted for information. Since the Air

will be reported as a more conclusive evaluation can be made.

Subject: BAH NELSON, lttcrney-at-Lil, 926 Perrine Bu.Llding,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
e Re: Flying Saucer lystery Solved.
On. 30 July 191.7 nu mson was interviewed at his office, 926 Per:-inc
Building, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, relative to nu alleged solving of the -
Flying Saucer 1-betery.
&1bject, whose age is 53, is at present engaged in practicing lav and
is the agent for the Dual Parking Eater Company. Subject advised he is
married and has two sons, ages seven and ten, residing at 2613 NJ. lhth
Street, Oklahom City, Oklahoma. Nelson stated he Iras a sergeant in World
War i, being sounded in action Ihile serving with Company 1, 53th infantry,
and that before entering the service he had an eighth grade education. After
leaving the service he finished his education and graduated from the University
cf Oklahoma in 1929. He advised that since 1929 he has practiced general
lss in both Herman and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Subject stated he notified the War Department by letter on 19 July
l9h7, advising than of his discoveries concerning the Flying Saucer Mystery.
He received an answer dated 23 July 19h? Idfising nu his letter had been
referred to em Air Forces. £5 stated he heard no are fror. the ¥c.rDepartuen; as of 29 Jul; 1910. at which time he released his statement to
the "Bail Oklahoman," Oklahoma City local nesspaper.
Subject advised the basis for his theory concerning the Flying Saucer
iiy-stew was 6'ta1.nuu"_ ' iron sin-ple ex-perizeente ihich he conducted ihile driving
his automobile. NELSON stated he believed that many people had seen lights
or shining objects cast onto their Iindshields and side ventilator windows
of their automobile and reflected as a saucer or disc shaped object. Be
stated that the movement cf the automobile, plus the fact that the glass was
not a perfect sir:-or and passing objects could be seen in relation to the
objects gave than an appearance of great speed.
Subject advised that the vibration of the oar gave the objects an
appeerance of rotating and that the reflections caused than to ;ppQ_l_l flat
or saucer shaped. IEISOR stated that any number of objects might be seen
according to_tbc direction that the car is traveling and the number of bright
objects being reflected onto the winder. He further stated that these objects

conditions, and that the objects might be either vertical or horizonsl. The
subject related that any change in speed of the car resulted in a change in
speed of the object, and that changes of direction resulted in a change in
the angle of travel of the object. _ '
HEISON stated he has not talked to any persons that had actually seen
flying saucers or discs but he believed that these reflections plus the -
excitement and hysteria caused by other reports has been the basis for sost
flying saucer reports. Subject also stated that this same theory could be
true in relation to flying saucers seen from aircraft.
attached hereto is a detailed statemnt by NELSON covering his findings
and explaining his solution to the so-called Flying Saucer Hystery.

The most impressive reports of the so-called flying '
saucers or discs were those from aviators who claim they.
saw disc-shaped objects flying through the air in various
formations at high altitudes and at a high rate of speed.
The first report was from an aviator who stated that these
so-called flying discs had a somewhat shiny appearance and
would fly in formation and change their position from time
Most reports stated that they appeared in the late to time.

These shiny c =eote may havexurious torn and there may
be more than one; depending on the number of reflections.
They may appear to be in the sky when the driver looks through
the ventilation wing glass. Their position in the sky depends
upon~the angle at which the object is reflected in-the ven-
tilation wing and the position of the observer. They may have
various forms but very frequently they are of a saucer shape
or a flat shape when they appear to be in the sky.
' The ventilation wing during day-light is not of course
a perfect mirror, therefore, it appears to the driver or ob-
server that he is actually looking through the glass into the
sky. As he moves along, the bright objects appear to be'
traveling at a high rate of speed in comparison with the
stationary objects on the ground, or the distant horizon, that
he sees through the window, or in comparison with the fairtly
silhouetted objects on the landscape which at times are re-
flected in the window.

If the vqntil .ion Hing windca were a pe act mirror the
objects causing the reflections would appear therein,es well as
all other objects within range, but the ventilation wing being
a sort of a semi-mirror, does not reflect the object but only
e
_ the bright_epot, which leaves the impression that the observer
is actually looking through the glass and that the
ually aepears to be in the sky, or at times e long
away. These results are best obtained in the late
or after sun down.
The aviators who reported seeing flying discsobject ect-
distance
afternoon,
or saucers,
undoubtedly were seeing the reflection of bright objects in or
on their own plane. They saw them as reflected in their canopy
or wind shie1d,.but failed to recognize thew as reflections.
Otherwise they were reflections from other air craft.

are reflectee from eome'bright object in or on the car or plane,
the up and down motion of the car or plane causes the flying
discs to appear to be going throuzh a dipping and rising motion,
or, if the reflectinq object in stationery and the car moving,
the results will be the same.
The statement that the discs appeared to be rotating as
they sailed through the atmosphere is due to the vibration of
the automobile or plane. Vibrations make than aonear to be
rotating at a very high rate of speed. Vibration is what gives

the stationary electric lights th.t appear on your left, if you
are driving, after you pass them,and see how many discs you can

the color of the electric lights which you have passed. They

Q. T {C}
These appear best when the spproachinz car is some distance
away, perhaps a quarter or half a mile. The results at night
may not be as impressive as those in the late afternoon because
at night your ventilation wing window makes a more perfect
mirror and the passing landscape is not as pronounced, therefore,
the reflections therein are more easily detected as reflections.
In the late afternoon, however, you have a feelin: that you are
actun.1y loosing through the glass and the reflected objects
&§D83P uore real. The sun shinin: on a bright ring on your fin-
ger uith your hand resting on the steering wheel may cast disc-
like reflections in your wind shield. The form of the reflect-
ion will depend upon the ornamental decorations on your ring.
The rear door handle on my automobile reflects nine beau-
tiful, little, silver, flying discs in the briqht sun-light.
These appear in the lower part of the ventilation win: and when
traveling on a level highway, they appear to be racing along
with me at the road side. These nine discs appear in a forn-
ation of two rows of four each, with the ninth one in the lead
at the center of the formation. They appear as whirling pro-
PBLIBFS in a vertical position. These discs also have stream-
ers which are due to the curveture and decorative pattern on
the handle. While traveling north in the early afternoon under
a bright sun, these nine discs appeared far below to my left,
racing up the valley at a terrific rate.
V_Iou may be able to see flying discs in your own home.
If you will turn on a small electric light in the hall-way
and thenlbok through the window at the other end of the hall,
_ e T O
you may s:e as many as three flying discs from one electric
light bulb, which may have more or less of a bell shape. These
discs many times appear as inverted saucers, and if you will
change your position slowly you will see that they change their
position also. Those are best observed in the lite afternoon
or between sun down and dusk, then it sgpears to you that you
are merely looking through the winoow pane at the discs sus-
pended in the distance. As darkness comes on, the window pane
becomes a more perfect mirror and your discs GJPGHP as reflect-
ions in a mirror.
To watch the discs, through your ventilation wing, sail
along with you as you drive through the country, becomes very
fescinoting, especioll" you use a little inuqinstion. It
may absorb your thoughts completely, therefore, I could admon-
ish automobile drivers watching the flying discs, to be cautious
Q
and not run off the road or into some other oar.
Some of the reports on flying saucers, heretofore not ex-
plained.in this article, such as those reported seeing bright
flashes in the sky, were no doubt reflected sun-light from
0
planes. These light beams chanced to cross the line of vision
of the observer. They frequently appear very brilliant and
may more or lees blind the observer for an instaht. If the
plane is very high it may not be seen by the observer, which
may be due to impaired vision or the great height at which
the plane is flying. We very often get these same blinding
flashes from automobile wind-shields, Many of the reports
around July tth. were incited by various forms of fire works.

Unidentifie:..erial Phenomena".
RIAN advised that Dr. LA PAZ came to Roswell after one of these objects had
been observed by several persons in the Roswell area the night of January 30, 1949
at approximately 6:00 P.U. One of these persOn8 who witnessed the object was an

Artesia, Tatum, and Kenna, Ken Zexico; Amherst, Brownfield, and Lamesa,
where the phenomena had recently been observed. These searches all met
negative results.

On '13 October 1950 Atomic Energy Security Patrol Trooper, E6. L
and a caretaker, John Moneymaker, frcn the University of '1ennessee Researoh_ -?_,_at Oak Ridge, saw an object at about 12,000 to 15,000 fest above Solovay ca =<
of the Control Zone. iis object appeared to be an aircraft irhich was startilg
to make an outside loop, trailing smoke behind. Soon these two mn realized that
the form:-1; described smoke behind the aircraft vas a tail. This o'bJeot 0
continued to descend in a controlled dive, much elover than an aircraft would '
dive, and when it approached ne ground it levelled off and flee slowly, parallel
to the Ibis object % 1-'i*.2iin tee h'-...~.!..-ed a:a'92. ten 1.9! feel ef the '

man could walk, at a height of approrlciantely sit ! feet. trooper Ryner attulptel.
to approach the obJect but as he approached the object became smaller an! started ,
moving in a scutheasterly direction. This object is said to have approached e _ _4
nine 9! foot cyclone chain link fence and mode a controlled movement to clear -
the fence, then a Willow tree, then a telephone post anl wire, after which the ..
obJect gained minentm and altitude and cleared a hill at approximtel; em' l! '
nile away. The cbJeot appeared to be pear shaped. When this object was over le
hill it was still visible as the same sized object that was observed aen owl];-
fifty 0! feet away. me explanation given was that this object grew larger i
as it gained. altitude anl speed.! -
Approzimtely fire nimztes later the object appeared again having reappeared '
frcn approximately the sane location from which it had disappeared. ue object
was seen again five nintuss later for approximately ten seocui.
During the above happenings, Mr. John Honeymaloer had Yisxnl reference ed
this obgeot during its first sliyat for ap;n~oximate1; seven minutes. trooper - _
Rymer sras interrupted twice during viiioii tines he oaLled" ' his 'neao.q' uarters in in
attempt to get other observers. Also, during the fantastic fli@1t of this " '.
object, Trooper Ryner stopped Hr. I. ll. Kightouer, who was on the hisay mn-
vehicle, to verify what was being seen. Hr. HiQ.1t0ver's statement substantiates
the description as before.
By the time the object appeared the second Z-erteoki, Ge-pt. of fs '
Atomic Energy Commission Security Patrol, eas pro also witnessed this _ - __ '
phenomenon. . '

Edwin w. mmm,O-3|l0T9§j5-;Q8rnp Stewart, Georgia, heard a noise which he described as 'si.mile;rf__.;§n"sJet airs;-a,ft_._bi,est'. This noise was intermittent and continued for several Qmogt:col. TT1ZI.lpicn'vas on the turnpike at Oak Ridge for a morning walk at the tim,
he 92>e].ieied.fl:.hat this noise was being92e1nitte<i from a factory in the near vicinity;
Although he "was I1-rare of some of the facts concerning Objects Sighted Over Oak
Ridge during the past two weeks, he still 416. not contribute this as pertinent.
ROTH: C01. Thompson is unfamiliar vith Oak Ridge, having arrived. for the first
time there on 25 October 19§O. His description coincides With that 01 Major L. I.
Bonnigr who heard a similar noise on 1T October 1950, and also coincides with the
description oi the noise heard. by Guards S. R. Brown, K. O. Barrie, Georg H. Devi:
between the hours 01' 1950 aui 2001+ hours on 16 October 1950. ,-
On 23 October 1950, at 1630 hours, Hr. I. J. Miller at the I-10 plant, Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, sav an object generally referred. to as the flying sauce:-".. is
stated that this object was at an altit-rds oi ippr.a-atoly 241% feet. 'iho or-sea-
01 the objlect was not deternine. _ '
The following is an article printed in the Clinton Courier-Iiews, dated
26 October 1950:
Anderson county fimlly got into the act.
After two years of reports from all over the nation concerning flying
saucers, and after writers have ladle so-ads ct noney arguing the authenticity oi .

This saucer was seen about a week ago in the Oak Ridge area, Just what clay
no one knows - or will tell. However, the saucer was reported by Jay Moneymaker,
antiakidge workervhc lives nea:rld.gsmoo1-Bririge, anOakBidgs guar6.an1iano|sr
unidentifieei mn. The three nen saw it hovering, flying, crouching or something
over the area at Oak Ridge, they said. - - O

The smoke trail had discontinued but there was a the appearance of a ribb
about 5 or 6 feet long. At tines the tail lengths t 20 feet. Uhile hoverin
it had a burnt or dark brown appearance. The tail pelescent grayish appearance
vith a dart line running down throng: the center of it. The main object was still gm;
metallic in color. The obJect was hovering about 5 or 6 feet above the road in er, _
cmpletel: at-atim._1_ar'; position. I vent tcvard the obgsct and the cbgect started QJYQ-I-Ins;
southward as I moved toward it. When I got to within 50 feet of it, the nain object II
about 1+ to 6_ feet from the chain mm fence on the south side of the road. It novea; --
straight up to about 12 feet then described e horizontal movement south-.rard across the
fence, then it again moved etraigmt up to about sirt: feet where it again moved south
over a light pole and a villov tree. After it passed over the willow tree it ohangdits direction to the southeast. At this tine é
c-ante along and I stopped um and asked him to observe it.
He was unable to see the object at first and I returned to the gatehouse to mks anothe
report. continued his observation of the object and soon after I vent into
the wt-ehouse, ightmrsr sighted ne object. The object was now ascending at an angle
about 1&5 degrees in a southeast direction. As it moved away, it got larger in size and
again assumed a pear or bladder shape. The object continued in this manner until it he
passed over the ridge south of Sclway road and disappeared.
About five minutes later, Capt. Zartecki drove up and as he came down the road I renarl
:atI92rished itwouldshmrupagainsche could see it. He loolsedtoweurdtheridp
and saw it again. The object vae moving from west to east about B or 9 feet above the
field south of the fence. Its speed vas about 15 to 20 miles per hour. I noticned for
Zartecki to burr; out of his car. He cane over to where we were standing on the
first island from the gatehouse. Capt. Zarzeclci looked to where I pointed and sat theobject ismediatellq. At this tins, the object was about 200 feet big and ascending
at about #5 degrees in a southeast direction. Us saw it for about seconds before it
disappeared at about 1,500 to 2,000 feet. It had a bladder or pear shape at this tins.
In about five acre ninutes,_£dpI saw it again about 20 degrees above the
center island house. It bed pear shape again and appeared to be about the sam sine
as a small pear. The object vas moving west at about 20 miles per hour. It continmd
vest about 50 feet above the road until we lost it in the glare df the sun. This Ias
When I first saw the object divizg, its speed was very slow. It was Inch slower than
a plane could dive. On the R5 degee d.o~;rrsrard slant, it aloued even acre. Ifhsn it
Icved across the road, the speed was about 15 miles per hour. During the upward slant,
the speed was much faster than the downward slant and it must have been increasing in
site because as it drew away, we could see it Just as plain]; and about the sale sits
as when observed up close.
The rind direction was north-northwest and 8 IIPE, according to the !'.noxvi1J.e Heather
