Reference is made to an article which appeared in "Th£ rew Yorker" dated September 6, 1952, which is attached.
, : .... -This a tic1e which was written by £ ~ contained t.1 inaccurate information regarding FBI inves 'gations, indi-{J(,p -' eating that the FBI conducts certain inquirl S regarding ~.:.",. flying saucers at the request Of the Air Force. It i8 pointed out here that, although the Bureau did at one time conduct some investigations regarding flying saucers, a
....... -
present agreement has been set up with the Air Force whereby the Air Force conducts all investigations pertaining to flying saucers and the Bureau, upon receiving complaints Of this nature, merely turns the complaints over to the Office Of Special Investigations (OSI), which in turn transmits the information to Air Intelligence. Air Intelligence has set up the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, for the purpose Of coordinating and handling of research pertaining to Ilying saucers.
Inquiry was conducted in order to determine, if possible, the source for the information appearing in the attached article regarding FBI investigations. Lieutenant Colonel L. L. Free in charge Of the Espionage Branch, Counter-Intelligence Division, Office Of Special Investigations, advised that no one in OSI has been contacted by and he suggested direct contact by the Bureau Representative with /1 Air Intelligence to determine if ..... had been in touch with ~r anyone in that organization in order to gather information lor his article.
Colonel C. H. Young, Executive Officer to Jlajor General John A. Samford, Dire ctor Of Air Int ell ig ence, advi sed that hall. not contacted General Samford's Office. Colonel Youn~ also telephonically contacted Captain Ruppelt 't Of the Air Technical Intelligence Center, Wright-Patterson ~ Air Force Base, fuyton, Ohio, on September 30, 1952. Captain Ruppelt advised Colonel Young that they have never indicated in any way to E that the FBI has an interest in flying saucers. Captain Ruppelt stated that the FBI to his knowledge has never been called upon to furnish reports on flying saucers. Ruppe1t is under the impreSSion that _ made the story up \ "f;

On December 2?, 1949, after !>75 reported lIight1:neS had been investigated, the Air Foree, w1th the concurrence of the Arrrrl and the Navy, announced the find1uge of the "flying "auceru project.
The evidence at that time indicated that the majority of· the reports of unidentified flyinerobjects could be accounted for as miB1nterpretat1cno of ~ar1oUB conventional objecta, a mild form of hysteria, meteorological phenomena, light. aberrationa, or !Joaxos. .
'rhere remained, hovever, a number of unexplaIned Bightings, and the Air Force haa continu.od itll 1nveeUgat1ons InnBlmlch as it is an Air Force res.pona1-bil1ty to ident1fy and analyze aor1al phenomena that could poaaIbl1 be a menace to the United States.
Subsequent to December 19~9, these investigations have been conducted au a normal intelligence fknct1on, rathor than a special project, by tho Air Technical Intelligence Centor, Wright-Fattorson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.

'-/ .- ~ ~ . ,
To d.ate, the Air Force has undertal:en to investigate and an:llyze .about 1500 reports dealing with these phenomena. As beforo, most of the reports were identified and disposed of as friendly aircraft erronoously reported, known electronic and meteorological phenonena, light aberrations, h0aXOS, and other known net\~al occ~rences or can-made objects.
The unexplained reports, hovever, which are in the order of 20 percent of the total, cannot be definitely associated with these fnmiliar thIngS.
Difficulty in Evaluating ~orts
The difficulty in disposing of those unexplained roports is based largoly upon the insufficiency of acc\~ate baSic d.ata such as size, shape, composition and flight characteristics (speed, acceleration, altitudo, exact maneuver pattern, etc.) of tho objects.
Although some instr~ents which are useful 1n obtaining more accurate data of this type have been available, the reports based on sightinGB with these instrQ~ents have been very infrequent and comprise an extremely emaIl percentage of the total. ~breover, o;v"n theecrep:>rts have not included J:luch of the information required.
Because of tho inadoquacy of this basic data, the ft~r Forco has in the past devoted its efforts pr~marily to determining whether these unexplained sightings indicated the existenco of a menace to the United Ststos. Initially it was believed that some pattern might evolve froJ:l the study of n large vol\llllo of reports. To date, no pattern has materialized to reveal anything whatsoever which can be interpreted as indicative of purpe>se or consistency :>1' which can be construed as a menace t:> the United States. Nonetheloss, since these unexplained sightings perSist, the Air Force will continue its investigations, giving the problem adequate but not frantic attention.
It is now fclt, however, thnt reports from poople whose training and experience in observine aerial objects qualify thom to obtain ess~ntial data are the only ones likely to produce material suitablo for systematic analysis. The Air Force is planning to provido additional tools to help these observers obtain the basic data it needs.
Repe>rts of similar phenomena go back to Biblical times. Thore have boen flurries of them in various centuries. The current series of sightings began generally 1n 1946.
~ There aro ~ reasons why the volume of these reports has 1ncreased
materially during tho past fow years. Aerial activity originated by man has increased, and people·today have a greater curiOSity about this activity thnn before. Also, our present efficiont communication facilities and navs media provide an incentivo for reporting unusual observatiOns, for publicizinG them and for recording them. Ebvever, the ability to measure these phenoJ:lona docs not soem to hwe advanced in step with opportunitics for observing them. Tho
.Air Force believcs that most of these phenomena will gradually bo understOOd as morc 1s known about occurrences in the upper atmosphere •

Sourc~ of Roports
The =J::>rity of reports of aerinl phun::>J:1ona have come from civilians. About 8 percent cone from civil airlines pilots, vhile o.pproxi~toly 25 percent aro reported. by military pero~mnol. Reports hnvo been received. also fr()m hig:'11y qunl1f1ed sc iontists. Al th0ugh prirory significance 1s at tachod to repor.·s from qualifiod. 0boorvors, there 113 no intention to discrodit untrained observo·c.'s.
Tho Air Force has recoived m~ny reporte of un~sual imagos on rndo.r ocopoo. It is f~1rly veIl eotabliohcd thnt so~ of these imagos are ground objects reflected from a layor of varm air above the earth (a temporature inversion).
TeJ:1poraturo inversion reflections can givo a return on a radar scope that is as sharp as that receivod fr::>ID an aircraft. Spaed rangeD of theBe roturns are roportodly from zoro to fantastic spoods. Tha "objects" also appear to move in all d1rectiO~E;
Such rndar sishtin5s hnvo resultod in hundreds of fruitloos intercept efforts.
One sciontific theory holds that light cun bo Similarly reflected from a layer of varm cir nbovo the earth and, if pr::>von to be corroct, this could account for some visual siehtings,
13ear1!'\~ ::)ut thf.! tho':lry of tomporaturQ inversion reflection 1s en incident which occurred in Janu~ry 1951 near Oakridge, Tennesseo. Tvo Air Force aircraft atteoptcd to intercept nn unidentified "object" nnd actu::lly eat"blished a rndar "lock" on the object. Their 0.1 ti tude at the time vas 7,000 feet, The unidentifiol object, "ccordlng to their radar, cppeared to be at an elevation of ton to 25 degrees. Throe pc.Bseo were made in an attempt to clooe on the obJoct. In each instance the pilots r0port0d th~t their radar led them first upvard and then dovn tovard a specific point on the ground.
I~ni~od clouds nre believed to bo the cause of some unidentified radnr returns. Thun~.erstorm activity is identifiablo by radar, and radar is used for the purpose of avoiding thunderstorms. In addition, radnr hao plcked up many objects first reported 0.0 "unidentified l'henomena." vhlch wero lator identified llS aircraft, birds, bollo()ns, ico formations in the nlr, or other kno'm aerial objects or manifestntions.

when the space-men rose the wheels rose with them. That le exactly what a person of an unmechanical ate lIould aay. Ken can move, 'Out I an oblect. So they deDcrlbed the men as carrylng the ships with th We, ~ cGarae would say the oppOSite, namely that the wheels or s;a
::s.::::::: ::e:::c:~:e::scrlbed as 'f~ll ~f eyes", in ot~:~~~~ ~ull of round openings, port-holee, or power. outlets, 'all'around a wlthin". This descrlption again tallies with observatlons and phot graphs made recently.
The apace-ships are described as "dartlng to and fro, l1ke the flas of llghtnlng" (Ezk. 1). WWhen they went they went In a~ of their four dlrectlons without turning as they went. In'whatever directio the front wheel (or ship) faced, the others followed wlthout turnln ne they went". Benides deacl'ibing their unbelievable maneuverabiU 'wlthout turning", this aloo ~eeme to claim that they flew' in torma t.ion, following .• leader (abo see li:zk.· 10",9).
The fuel or power for thepe space-shlps ls found in the middle of t apace-.hlp. It 1. descrlbed a. "fire between the whirling wheels" (Ezk. 16.6). "In. the midst there waB something that looked like bu Ing coals of fire. l1ke torches movlng to and fro, and the fire was brlght, and out Of the fire went forth lightning" (Ezk. 1). . .... ' .

A volce Is aal~ to come "from above the firmament (canopy) over their heada". It 1 also claimed by this blbllcal reporter that part of these spac~-.hi is collap.ible and other parts retractable.
