At 10:45 a.m., July?, 1947, I talked to SAC Johnson of the
:::~~,=--
Tele. Roo•·-===
Milwaukee Office concerning the United Press item appeari~ in the
Ill', lieU.:--­
Washington Post for Mond~, July 7, with reference to a flying disc
or flying sau
allegedly reported to the Milwaukee Office by
=
~f'+
Reverend Josep
asky of st. Joseph's Church, Grafton, Wisconsin.
SAC Johnson advised that the Associated Press and the Unittod
Press between the hours 1:00 and 6:00 a.m. tod~ had made inquiry 01£
him as to whether anything had been reported to the Milwaukee Office,
He declined to comment.
He stated as a matter of fact the priest haa
not made aey contact with him, and he learned from the Associated Press
that the priest was intoxicated and as far as the Associated Press was
concerned they were not releasing the story because all that·was involved
was a circular saw.
Mr. Johnson stated the Milwaukee Sentinel apparently
sent the report out and that they handled United Press service.
He stated
a photograph of the priest was in this morning's paper holding a circular
saw which apparently covers the body of the priest from arm pit to arm pit.
Attached to the saw are several wires and two small tubes described as
about three inches long and one inch in diameter. The news i tern in the
Milwaukee Sentinel indicates it was believed some prankster had thrO\'fn it
into the yard, perhaps with a firecracker attached. Mr. Johnson stated the
Milwaukee Sentinel had stated the priest would make a report of this matter
today to the Milwaukee Office. I instructed SAC Johnson in the event the
priest made a report to furnish details of the report immediately, but in
view of the nature of the information in his possession, no inquiry should
be conducted at the present.
