FROM : SAC KNOXVILLE

SUBJECT : "FLYING SAUCERS" OBSERVED OVER

INTERNAL SECURITY-X
|
|
|
|
There are being submitted herewith two photographs of reputedly
|
|
"flying saucers" which were seen at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, sometime
|
|
during July of 1947. All of the information contained in this letter
|
|
was received from George Rateman, Resident Engineer, Air Material
|
|
Command, United States Army, who is the principal army technician
|
|
at the Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft Research Center
|
|
at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Rateman advised that the attached photographs were taken
|
|
by ______ in July of 1947. He stated that interview with _______
|
|

|
|
in the afternoon, when he looked into the sky and observed the vapor
|
|
trail as exhibited by the photograph numbered "1." __________ stated
|
|
that he took a snap of this trail, was winding the film to the next
|
|
number, when he looked into the sky and observed the ball of fire
|
|
as shown in photograph 2. _______ made these photographs available
|
|
to reporters of the Knoxville News-Sentinel and a story concerning
|
|
them was run in that paper; however, as shown by the photostatic copy
|
|
of the newspaper clipping, which is also being submitted herewith
|
|
to the Bureau, the print was very indistinct; the news story did not
|
|
contain any factual information; and it was regarded generally by
|
|
the public at the time as a possible trick.
|
|
|
|
Later, it was learned by Rateman And _________ that _________
|
|
had made several copies of this photograph and had distributed them
|
|
among his aquaintances at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Upon ___________
|
|
finding that the photographs had received some distribution, he requested
|
|
Rateman as Head o f the Compliance and Investigations Division, to
|
|
recover as many as possible of the photographs, advise the persons
|
|
in whose possession they were found to say nothing to anyone concerning
|
|
them, and to return the said photographs to him for transmission to
|
|
the United States Air Force Intelligence Service. Rateman advises
|
|
that he succeeded in rounding up twenty four copies of these photographs,
|
|
and that, according to the statements of ________, no more copies
|
|
were made or distributed. Rateman further stated that _______ had
|
|
appeared extremely concerned over the matter and seemed quite emphatic
|
|
that the matter should be given no more publicity than was absolutely
|
|
necessary. Rateman also advised that he studied the negatives from
|
|
which the reproductions were made, and they appeared to be authentic
|
|
in that trick photography should have been apparent, but from
|
|
the ______________ __________ ______.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT WAS OBTAINED THROUGH NORMAL CHANNELS,
|
|
INCLUDING THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA). THE DOCUMENT IS
|
|
NOT A HOAX. GUY HOTTEL WAS THE SENIOR AGENT IN CHARGE (SAC) OF THE
|
|
WASHINGTON FBI OFFICE IN 1950. THIS IS ONE OF THE KEY DOCUMENTS THAT,
|
|
ALL TOGETHER, INDICATE A GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY COVER-UP OF UFOs
|
|
THAT MAKES WATERGATE LOOK LIKE CHILDS PLAY.

Office Memorandum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

TO: DIRECTOR, FBI DATE: March 22, 1950
|
|
|
|
FROM: GUY HOTTEL, SAC, WASHINGTON
|
|
|
|
SUBJECT: FLYING SAUCERS
|
|
INFORMATION CONCERNING
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following information was furnished to SA [blanked] by
|
|
[ blanked ]
|
|
[ blanked ]
|
|
|
|
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, approxi-mately 50 feet
|
|
in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape
|
|
but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine
|
|
texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout
|
|
suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.
|
|
|
|
According to Mr. [blanked] informant, the saucers were found in 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 controling mechanism of the saucers.
|
|
|
|
No further evaluation was attempted by SA [blank] concerning the above.
