On one surface there is attached a plastic dome described as about

The bolts
can best be described as similar to stove bolts.
On the other surface is
another dome of metal which is gold in color on one ·side and on the inside is
silver in col or, which looks like tin.
Through the plastic dome can be ob­
served three tubes similar to radio tubes and there is some wiring.
The disc
generally is 1011 thick and at the point where the domes are located about
1411 in thickness.
There is an object on it similar to electric coil which
has some type of an arm on it and bears the words "Inspected TS" .
Some of
the vnring has been burned off and it looks as though something might be
missing.
Mr. Bannister stated that if this were the work of some prankster
he went to quite a bit of trouble.
He stated the press is aware of this
incident.
He stated that the-disc had been picked up and vras now at the
Pol ice Department, Twin Falls, Idaho.
He was instructed to notify the local
Army authorities of the existence of this disc.
