At wso a.m. me, Sit! Willie, Houston, calledin and statedthat*& business manin Houston, _'1'ex.aa, had furnished'certain pictures taken by 8. friend of his, e! the_, Houston, Texas, and had related that had been flying

_ii with a friendin a private plane from California to Houston and that at a_ point about 30 miles east or Lone Pine, California, some object lying on theI * ground made a very strong reection and they made a--check to determine what' would cause this bright reection. They finally landed the plane and found

an object which could be described as being Bin diameter with wings about4'long. The objectis about 1' in thickness andin the center there appearsto be some type oi gyroscope. The wings apparently are fitted with some type

. of jet propulsion.An examination was made bygend his friend and theycould findno identifying marks and took photographs oi the object they

l_ observed.

- sac 111111; stated he had informed I-ieut-enenth of the ~"- MP, tmlington Field, and: the Army representativein Houston,

- of this obieg and that -1-lould be interviewed that_ morningin the HoustOffice wit eutenant _being present. Lie-otenant canted thestatements of Mien down by a stenographer and he will furnish theatenographer for that purpose.

1I instructed SAC Ellie to mrnish complete details of this matter- by 3.1.1 mail special delivery, including a copy of the photograph.I further; instructed that he furnish the same detailsto the proper eld office because

unquestionably the Bureau wouid want to run this thing out.

. ' Mter talking with you,I phoned SAC Willie back and told him toinsure the presence oi a Bureau Agent at the time this object was examined by91 -Km? Ail Forces and that he should make proper arrangements with the office

in California to see thatan Agent was present.I also told him to advise me- of the developments.
