Walter R. Winchell [handwritten]
Office Memorandum  *  UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO     : THE DIRECTOR                                  DATE: July 12, 1949
FROM   : D. M. Ladd
SUBJECT: FLYING SAUCERS

   I took a call from [redacted] by reference
from your office. He referred to his call of last
Saturday relative to a letter Mr. Winchell received from
a man in Los Angeles concerning flying saucers. He stated
that Winchell wanted to go a column on this letter if the
Bureau had no objection.

   I told him that whatever he did with reference to
writing the story concerning this letter was entirely up to
him and wouldn't in no way affect anything the Bureau was doing.
I suggested that he might desire to check with the Air Corps
inasmuch as the handling of flying saucers was a matter of primary
interest to them. He stated, "To hell with the information if it would affect
just didn't want to release the information if it would affect
the Bureau."

Dear Sir,
   I would like to submit a Theory
that may lead to a solution of what
the Flying saucers really are -
These objects Could be Lights
Caused by Radio Television Beams
Illuminating moist Vapor, not unlike
Phosphorus on rain soaked wood in
Certain seasons. - The northern lights
"Aurora Borealis" have manifested themselves
for years, setting up Electro magnetism
& Earth potential which distort normal
Telegraph Communications. The lights es[?]
are somewhat like a Fan + Can
be seen as far south as Egypt[?]
   It is my opinion that Flying
Saucers are Electrically induced[?]
Currents out a spree (small Clouds)
and Causing it to glow - This
Cloud being Charged Electrically
and a Magnetic Polarity being same
as the intercept[or] it Can never

gradually, over Dimmer + disappearing
giving the impression that it
outdistanced the pursuer with
a great Burst of speed -
This is submitted as a theory
as I do not have the power
or facilities to prove or disprove,
But I Submit a suggestion
Whereby a test Could be made.
   When these Saucers appear
again Have the TV + all Broadcast
Silenced from the air and check
for results - This may not Change
immediately, as other Elements in
this Burst [?] not be turned
off on or at a given signal -
However I sincerely believe that, if
the idea as set forth in my crude
way is submitted to more Learned
persons than I Some solution
is inevitable -

O Flying Discs

Gentlemen - Dear Sirs.
   I have a theory on the so called
flying saucers.
   I don't know where to write to express
my opinion.
   But yours is the [redacted] office in the la[nd]
when it comes to investigations.
   If and when I get ready to commit a crime
I will expect to get caught but so be it.
   If the flying saucers are real then
in my opinion they are not from our own
planet. I would be willing to [illegible]

When you look at it from that slan[t]
you can see they can never be caught
no matter how fast the pursuing plan[e]
goes they retreat at the same speed.
   One good way to check that would
be to have three planes to approac[h]
at three angles.  [sketch: small plane symbols and arrows around a central disc, with a label beginning "one"]
The retreating
object could not cross in front
of any of the plains it would
have to go straight ahead.
   You try and get the north pole of a
magnet and south pole to connect and
you will see what I mean.

We see, a steel toy - fly in space
at auto shows, it was merely two
poles pushing against each other instead
of pulling together.
   Or Push your watch or a piece
of steel through a demagnet [izer?]
and you will see what I mean.
   If a plane were equipped with
a magnet of about two or 3 Gs
and the north pole pointed at the
nose of the plane or stuck out ahead
of the propeller a foot or two I think
those saucers would be caught.
