At 11:55 P.M., July ll, I took a phone call from
,~
Sergeant Lonis of the Laurel, Maryland, Police Department. Serge~
Lonis said that he had examined the 11 flying disc.11
He said that it
had been made from a Gulf Oil sign and the top of a garbage can and
had been painted with aluminum paint. It had been recently painted
because the paint was still wet.
Attached to it were a dry cell
battery, a flashlight bulb, sor.ie v.ii.res and a buzzer. He asked if
the Bureau was sending anyone out to look at it.
I told him that
we vrere not, that we had referred the matter to the Army, and
suggested that he call them.
I subsequently telephoned Captain Calvert, the Duty
Officer at G-2, and passed on to him the infonn.ation f'urnished by
Sergeant Lonis.
