"TO DIRECTOR FBI                                                             DATE: March 22 1950
FROM: GUY HOTTEL, SAC, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: FLYING SAUCERS
INFORMATION CONCERNING




The following information was furnished to SA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

An investigator for the Air Forces stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed en metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Every body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots.


According to Mr. XXXXXXXXXXX informant, the saucers were found in the New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high powered radar set-up in that area, and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers.

No further evaluation was attempted by SA XXXXXXXXXXX concerning the above."
