You will recall that Air Intelligence has previously

Intelligence research on the flying saucer problem. Air Intelligence
has previously advised eot all research pertaining to this problem
is _tbe Air Technical In•télligence Center located ot

90 per cent of the reported sightings of flying saucers can be
discounted as products of the imagination and as erolainable objects
such as weather balloons, etc.,
but that c small percentage of

The following Infomatlon concex•nårc Alr Force investigations of unusual
aerial phencmena 1B submitted In answer to your requeet.
In the Fall of 1947 the thit,ea States Air Ferce took official notice of
•reprtb of ao—calleå 'LC1yi-ng saucers because tho reporta from the publio
indicated that the problem ndght related ta the Alr Force reeponeibiiity for
the Bir defange of t.hited Staus.
December 30, 1947 the Alr Foree dtree#ed A-tr PBter1el at
Wright-Pattereon Air F0Ne Base, Ohio, to BOC up a proåect to collect ard
evaluatö all available facts corx:errblng Baucer" Big.ht,inee ,
To perform th.IB task the Air Phteriel Comand obtained the services Of
civilian and military astronomers, psychologist', ø1ßGtmrdc specialiBt3,
meteorologiete, aeronautical engneore, and >hysicist3.
Dæembar 2'? , 1949, after 375 reported sightings haa been investigated, the
Air Force, vitrh the emcurrence of the Arq and the Navy, annou1Eeå the f indixw
of the eaucerU project.
The eyiåel*e at, that time Indicated that the majority of- the reports Of
unidentified flyin& objects could be accounted for ag misinterpretatieng of
yariou.B convent,iorE1 ohåecte, a mild fom of Iveteria, meteorolog±oal phenomena,
light aberrations, or bomxee.
There remained, hovever, a number of unexplained Bightincs» and the Air
Force has continued its invøetigatlong Inaauuch ae it is an Atr Poxve responsi-
bility to identify analyze aerial phenomena that could possibly be a aænace
to the United States.
Subsequent to December 19Å9, these Investigations have been eonducted ag
a normal intelligence function, Father than a special project, by tho Air
Technical Intelligence Centor, Wright-Pattøreon Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.

Page 30

To dato, the Alr Force ha? undertaken to investigate and analyze .about
1500 reportg dealing vith thege phenomena. As beforo, most of the rcports vere
identified and diepoged of as friendly aircraft erroneously reported, known
electronic and meteorological phenomena, light aberrationg, hoaxes, and other
known natural occurrences or man-made objectBe
The unexplained reportg, hovever, which are In the order of 20 percent of
the total, cannot be definitely aBBOCIBtOd with these familiar things.
Difficultv in Evaluating Rgortg
The difficulty in disposing of these unexplained rcporte ie based largely
upon the insufficiency of accurate baeic data Buch ae sizo, shape, composition
and flight characterlBtics (epeed, acceleration, altitude, exact æneuver pattern,
etc. ) of the objects.
Althou.€h some Inetrunentg which are useful in obtaining more accurato data
of this type have been available, tho reports bagea on Bightincg with these
instruments havo been very infrequent and comprise an oxtremely EN 11 percentage
Moreover, oyen theee reporte have not included much of the
of the total.
information required.
because of tho inadequacy of this baoic data, the Alr Forco hae in the past
devoted i tg efforts pr±marily to determining whether theee tmexplalncd eightir'iSB
indicated the exietcnco of a menace to the thitoa Statas, Initially It vae
believed that game pattern might evolve from thc study of a large volumo of
reports. To date, no pattern hao materialized to reveal anythinc whatsoever
which can bc interpreted ae indicative of purpose or coneietency or which can be
construed ae a menace to the (hilted Statee. Nonethe10dB, since these unexplained
sightings persist, the Air Force will continue i tg investigationa, giving the
problem adequate but not frantic attontion.
It iB nov felt, however, rcport6 from poople whose training and
experience in observing aerial objects qualify thom to obtain essontial data
are the only ones likely to produco matorial suitablo for eyetematic analyeiB.
The Air Force ig planning to provido additional toole to help these observorg
obtain the basic data it needs.
Reporte of eimålar phenomena go back to Biblical timeB. There have boon
flvrriee of them In various centuries. The current seriee of eightinee began
generally In 19146.
There arc m.f•ny reasonB vh$ the volumo of thege reports has incroasca
materially during tho past fov years. Aorial activity originated by hag
increased, and people •today have a greater curiosity about thia activity than
before. Algo, our present officiont connunicatlon facilitioe and nova mcdia
provide an incentivo for reporting unugual observatioru, for publicizing thom
and for rcc ording them. Hovcver, tho ability to mcasuro these phenomona doce
not seem to have advanced in stop with opportunities for observing them, Tho
_ Air Force believes that moat of thege phenomena vill gradually bc understood
as more iB known about occurrencee In the upper atmosphore,

J. Edgar Hoover,
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Wash. D.C.
Dear Mr. Hoover:-
Since reading so much
about flying saucers and other
objects in the sky, I have
decided to write you about a theory
which I came to believe in 1917
One evening about 10 - I saw
an object in the South Westerly
Sky. It seemed to be falling toward
the Earth at about a 50 degree angle,
which would let it hit about
South of us. It went behind some
buildings and when I ran out
to see where it might hit, it
was moving horizontal with
the Earth's surface. Almost
immediately it started to rise
and seemed to rise faster and

[handwritten letter continuation, page about 4, degraded]
A complete G unit, such (4)
as Earth, contains a force
which pulls all objects toward
its center.
It also contains a force,
[similar to that of a magnet] which
repels [Pushes] all objects away
from its center.
The Pull of Earth G minus
its Push, equals the force of G as
we know and feel it.
The Earth as a unit contains
this Pull force of G, but no rock
or part of the Earth contains this
force. A magnet attracts only
certain metals and repels only
magnets.
A G unit attracts all other
G units and also repels them in
proportion to its Push G. It also
attracts or repels all loose objects
that do not contain a center of G.
Thus Earth with its own Pull
than Push attracts all objects
and those without a center of G
fall to its surface or are burned
in the upper air as meteors or
falling stars.

Page 52

Transcribed by Claude (AI) from the page image. Check against the scan.

Some G units contain more (5)
Push than Pull. For example the
Stars which seem to be trying to
run away from the Universe contain
much more Push than Pull and
expel or Push all loose objects on
their surface, out into space. That
is up to a weight in proportion
to the difference between their
Push & Pull G.
The Sun and its Planets
contain more Pull than Push.
The Planet nearest the Sun
contains more Pull in relation to
its Push than any other Planet.
The Planet farthest from
the Sun contains less Pull in
relation to its Push than any
other Planet.
If each Planet had the
atmosphere of Earth a man would
weigh more on the Planet nearest
the Sun and would weigh
less on each Planet as he
moved out from the Sun.
The Pull G of Mars may
be much greater than Earth's Pull G.
But if so, Mars Push is much
greater also

Page 53

Transcribed by Claude (AI) from the page image. Check against the scan.

There are many hundreds of (6)
small G Units, with the right
proportion of P + P.G., moving around
the Sun in smaller Orbits than the
Earth.
Some are probably smaller than
a grain of sand and some are large
enough that they will one day be
found and their Orbit traced.
Some are all Gas, Some are
all solids and some are solids with
Gas around them. Some may be
composed entirely of metal and
coming in contact with the air at
high speed would take on the Color
of that metal when "Red hot" or burning.
The Gases would present different colors.
Some travel in Orbits close to
that of the Earth.
Some travel in Orbits around
the Earth and are locked to it.
(like the moon)
These small G Units may travel
alone or in groups of different
numbers and formations
Any one or any group of
these small G Units may be

bombarded with a cyclotron. (11)
If it has risen faster and higher
and if it flies much longer! Then
these may be the first G units
made by man.
I simply wish to convey
the idea that every Planet or
grain of sand containing a center
of Gravity sends out [a repelling]
force as well as a pulling force.
These forces hold the Earth + Sun
"Locked", so the Earth may be
pulled many miles closer to the Sun
one day and Pushed many miles
away the next, but can get only
so close & only so far away.
Thus all G Units are not only
safe from colliding with each
other but are mostly locked in
definite Orbits.
Since this idea (or theory)
fits in and explains many
of the flying saucers seen
here in the States I am

organization, he advt Bed me thet they were having a meeting
at i COO PM the gano dey, Inegmuch as they hed been advised
thet they had some very important information to discusg.
He went on to relate that throun,h the means utilized by hio
orgenl zptlon (which tho enclosed literature will reflect
borders on tho occult), thoy wero able to procmoeticete
well in advance the recent earthquake vMch occurred in
Tehachepl, Colifornta, He advised thet they have algo
been abio to obtain the following information:
i, Thet a very severe tidel wave will hit the
Pacifie Ocean sometime In the not too remote ۥutu.re and
that mogt of the Japanege Iglmds will be washed away

2. That ell figheg -with goalee in Japanese

Director of F.B.I.          [underlined heading, partly illegible: "Flying Saucers"?]
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Hoover:
   Enclosed is a copy of a Lecture
sent to me from Detroit. I think
it is the most fascinating Research
ever made.
   In your busy life you may
not have encountered it, so I
thought I would send you a copy.
   Why doesn't the Government

   Thanks to Almighty God there
are Character Influences like you
still standing on the same firm
ground of Our Forefathers.
   Each day now a few more chips
are knocked off the pillars of
Learning, High morals, decent
behavior and honest standards.
Where can it all end? The days
are becoming Wearisome and fearful;
Surely the repercussions are shaking
the outer Walls of even Our Father's
House.
   I wonder what the God of Our
Fathers is going to do about it?

        With deepest respect,
