STANDARD FORM NO. 64 Office Memorandum • UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO : D. M. LADD FROM : E. G. Fitch SUBJECT: FLYING DISCS DATE: 9/16/47 Mr. Tolson Mr. E. A. Tamm Mr. Clegg Mr. Glavin Mr. Ladd Mr. Nichols Mr. Rosen Mr. Tracy Mr. Carson Mr. Egan Mr. Gurnea Mr. Harbo Mr. Hendon Mr. Pennington Mr. Quinn Tamm Tele. Room Mr. Nease Miss Holmes Miss Gandy Special Agent S. W. Reynolds of the Liaison Section has discussed with Lieutenant Colonel George Garrett of the Intelligence Division of the Air Forces the possibility that the flying discs or saucers are in fact a project of the Army Air Forces. It should be noted that Colonel Garrett agreed with this possibility. At that time Mr. Reynolds pointed out to Colonel Garrett the possible embarrassing position of the Intelligence Division of the Air Forces if it was subsequently ascertained that this was the truth, especially since they had requested the assistance of the Bureau in the captioned matter. Colonel Garrett advised Mr. Reynolds that he would institute a further search, and he has now advised that a letter was addressed by Major General McDonald, Director of the Intelligence Division of the Air Forces, to the Research and Development Section of the Air Forces. There is attached hereto a letter addressed to the Director, dated September 5, 1947, from Brigadier General George F. Schulgen, which states that a complete survey of research activities discloses that the Army Air Forces have no project with characteristics similar to those which have been associated with the flying discs. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that this memorandum be forwarded to the Internal Security Section for their information. Attachment SWR: AJB RECORDED 62 83894 84 N 37 SEP 1947 55 SEP 30 1947
