Dear Sir
    In regards to the "flying saucer"
mystery which recently received national
publicity I, as a citizen would like to ask a
few questions. If you, as head of the FBI,
would be so kind as to answer I would be
greatly appreciative.
    First, has the FBI been and is the
FBI still investigating the "flying saucers"?
    Second, were copies of the July 7th, 1947
issue of the Arizona Republic, published in
Phoenix, Arizona confiscated by the FBI?
    Third is the FBI investigating the
"Shaver Mystery" in which an author named
Richard S. Shaver claims there are people

[left margin, vertical: "Flying Discs"]

Dear Sir.
    With all these forest fires in Maine and out
west in our Country I was wondering whether
the flying discs had anything to do with it.
Was that just a myth or did they exist. If
so could not they have been incindary
falling to earth then with drought and heat
from the sun ignite. Were not the discs
seen flying over Main Vt. and western states
are the western states that have forest fires the
same ones reported to have seen the flying discs
    I have great respect for your bureau or should
I say ours. In every way the F.B.I. has been
excellent. I visited the Bureau while in Washington
some years ago.
    I do hope I haven't taken up to much time but
couldn't stop thinking of it. All Americans must
be alert but not overly [illegible]. We have quite a lot of different foreigners
settling up here with plenty of money. Like the
backwoods I guess. Keep to themselves too.

way the fires flared up in different parts away from
the main fire that is what made me think of
the incindiary discs. Thank you again.

about 2 months ago, a number
of people said they saw flying

a good idea to ask the people
in the ruined areas, if any
of them had seen a disc and
how long a go. I know we have
the smartest men in the world in

to tell you people what to do, but
maybe there is some connection.

the existence of some new weapon. Such statements, of the type attributed
to Eickenbacker [?], often solicited in the most sensation form by news
reporters in order to make a good story, make people watch the sky and any
object they cannot immediately recognize is called a "flying saucer."
This helps to maintain the "chain reaction" of such reports.

where the jets are fi[xed?] in I do not figure it out so will save that to you. The drawings I sent in sat. with the jet are O.K. That is the jet - but some of the centrifugal power mechanism is wrong in design. [redacted] had two or three sets of drawings and this copy I am sending you are plain and I have better drawings.
	In drawing #2 where turn buckels are shown in cables - they are shortened or lengthened to suit - like this as the weights fly or pull outward - the weights must pull the cable straight out or up and down - see no bright in the line holding the weights - line must be straight when engines are in motion and up to speed allowing every thing else is in proportion OK
[sketch: side view of a cylindrical body with a central shaft, propeller-like weights on cables at three positions, labelled "drawing 3."]

the drawings of 2 - the saws put together like this. 3
straight piece circular between top and bottom of saucer - filled with ball bearings in a groove top and bottom the center piece turns but top or bottom does not turn - Top and bottom obey the rudder in up and down rudder and the sideways rudder.
1. 1. is for the jets to fire out side. from point 2 to point 2 on 30 foot diameter saucer is 10 feet making an overall diameter 50 feet
[sketch: disc with central cylinder, labelled with dimensions 30', 10', points 2 and 3, and small circles marked 0 1; captioned "drawing 4."]
of course it does not look like this drawing for curves and etc - you know what I mean. All the floor in the saucer is fastened to the center piece as dotted line shows at 3. 3. guess that is so saucer can be maneuvered or something.
My wife or son - or son in law - or daughters know nothing about this - and do not tell them - or there would be hell to pay.
I think the drawings are plain enough this time.

I do not believe [illegible] is horse feathers so much as I did on the drawings sent you sat. Ubalsky said on the snow with runners on this saucer like a sled centrifugal force will will have a hell of speed. The jets are used on take off there is wheels on the saucer there are 3 wheels they are pulled into places in the saucer from the inside and some how or other a piece covers the spot on the outside the drawing shows that but I cannot figure out how its done from the inside of the saucer. Now I believe this is all the dope I can give you on them. Ubalsky said the big saucers are oblong fore and aft but round in the middle - just as the round saucers are something like this.

P.S.
I think I can get some information on the Russian submarine and what makes them go so deep down. [redacted] says he is sure in navy cannot locate them as they got dummies they put out some how in the water and can fool any one with the dummies. He said they were making a long range rocket and putting this engine in it but that the saucer goes as fast as the rocket will. I was going to patent this engine even if I did get it from Ubalsky - I placed my self in great danger to get it - and am in danger yet if any one gives me away. But give it to the U.S.A. quick and the U.S.A. can give me something for my efforts. I do not think the U.S.A. will turn me down - do you? and maybe I will ask a favor of the F.B.I. - who knows.

Flying Saucers
Gentlemen:-
	Here is a sketch of a "flying saucer" as was given to me by [redacted, with handwritten insertion: Herman Ubalsky] a free hand drawing for me after going over Ubalskys drawings I was very interested in same as to what made it "Tick" and I will give you the sketches by me as I have a pretty good memory on what I see. [redacted] said these "saucers" contain tremendous speeds and says when one is launched near Leningrad it is but 3 hrs if not in to much of a hurry to New York, Washington, Boston, Albany and a lot of other citys on the atlantic coast. I am at Redwood Valley Jct. now in calif on 101 highway 9 mi north of Ukiah. Will go back to Yuba City and Marysville and Stockton next week after as [illegible] understand these "saucers" do not need much

power to run them, and Ubalsky says it can go over 5,000 mi per hr. and go as high as two hundred thousand feet and more. Well give these sketches to our army chiefs of staff and they can soon tell what is what but I think Ubalsky lied some but it looks kinda good and that Russia has a lot of them.
[sketch: circular saucer interior with labelled parts:] weights revolving inside saucer; slides horizontal to keep weights centered as they revolve; center stanchion of saucer; weights revolving inside saucer; collar; spreader to hold cables apart; engine to drive weights; bar to which wire is fastened against; cables apart; [other labels illegible]

this uses centrifugal force and is call[?] connected
weights that revolve at right angles to the pull on
to "saucer". I presume engines are synchronyzed as to
speed the wt of the revolving balls gives the pull to
pull "saucer" and the whole mechanism is inside of
the "saucer" there are a bottom and top saucer
   He said there is an up and down rudder
and a sideways rudder but very small and they are
handeled by electronic gadgets at high speed.
   The saucers are made of magnesium
and reinforced for strength they look something like this
the saucers it looks are air tight.
[sketch of a flattened lens-shaped saucer in side view]
these drawings are not much - but there is not much
to them as I cannot give dimensions our Tech[?]
will have to figure that out as I am dam[n] luck[y?]
to find this out and be all to-gether.

The saucers are launched by a cat[a]pult.
[two sketches of a lens-shaped saucer on a slide guide, labelled: "bolt", "cable", "slide guide", "ball bearing for swivel", "bolt", "ball bearing on bolt"]
These saucers are 30 feet and more in dia and not
very heavy Ubalsky says. The plane division of our
army can soon figure this out I cannot as it is
out of my line but I seen the mechanics of it I did
not see any propellor on it in the drawings I saw
they use a jet on it to so Ubalsky says.
   They use pellets in a case in the jet
and it fires like a cannon and the recoil sends the
saucers very fast

[Page written sideways, rotated; contains a diagram of a long tube (the jet) with labels.]
The jet
This jet is loaded with capsules by air door traps and the capsule containing
the gasoline is put into a pressure of say 10,000 lbs p.s.i. the capsule is
stuck and out comes the gasoline in that high press. of air is sometimes electric

[redacted] says at high altitudes the jet will speed
up to - well he dont know but it is a terrific speed
he said he thought 10 thousand mi. per. hr.
   Now This does not look like a lot of horse feathers
so I am putting it into your hands as if it is a trap
for me its only you can get me in dutch and I know
you wont do that - but get it into our army chiefs hand
I do not know if this will fly or not - but on the
other hand it may be all O.K. so what.
   [redacted] is 5 feet 8 tall wt. 175 square faced quite
large mouth gold teeth left side upper light hair sort of red cheeked
is arms all around stout square hands short fat fingers
and talks good english - blue eyes. has friends in Buffalo,
Iowa, is a Russian Pole and was in world two, in Europe.
   He has gone to Hetch[?] i can be[?] knows some folks
there he said he got off a sub marine and gave a fishermon
a sum of money to get him ashore, near Eureka and he said
was drifting inshore in a drift boat made of rubber when
[?]ked up - he said there was nothing to it getting ashore.
   When you give this to the army chiefs keep
my name out of it - I want to get a lot more information to give
you

So I guess this is all for now - and I'll write you again
as soon as I learn any thing worth while

P.S.
   I have been in contact with the Buffalo Office
and they can tell you more - so I decided to
send this direct to you to the head office
[?] in case the office with Buffalo on this letter as
I deem it important enough to go direct to you
If you write me do not forget to use perfectly plain
envelope - no markings on it - just in case.
   I am putting this in your hands because I
do not know who is a Comunie in Washington and who is not
I leave that to you and I know you will not give me
away.

there are two of these set ups. one on each side this shows
detail of one the other one is left out it would be at 3
the next sketch will show what makes it revolve that
swivel plate is a cog wheel at 4. The sheave plate at 5 is made
suble[?] and a bearing is between the two plates so it can move

on shaft at 2 and the cog wheel one on engine shaft turns
the shaft 3 causing the weights to revolve. the cog wheels 4 & 4
drive swivel plate 4 & 4 and shaft 3 run even, i.e. both the
same R.P.M. This is the mechanism of the thing as near
as I can remember it from the drawings.

I do not know how the rudders go on he said
they were manual control, Hydraulic control, and electronic
control as they pulled hard at high speed.
   The jet is fed by pellets carefully
fortified to the charge in the jet chamber and are fed
out fast by gadgets operated by electronics so as they go
fast and accurate. I gave the idea that is all I cannot
draw the gadgets as I do not know how. But I saw in
the drawings electric control on them.
   He says they can light on a pond and
take off on a pond on even flat land he said they can light
and take off if they have to but its damn rough going.
   I wonders if thats horse feathers.
well that is all I know about it the rest you will have
to dope out. I have looked my copies over after I left him
and while the drawings were fresh in my head I can see
nothing further to try and tell you about
   In case you do not know I am the
fellow who reported to the Buffalo office when I lived at [redacted]
[redacted] in Buffalo. I am working on an engine that goes
by the cosmic ray. The Russians want to get this - rest assured
they never will as they make contact with me and see what I got
say about this engine. You likely know about it if you inquire.
