MEMORANDUM FOR MR. IADD
Chamberlin and General Todd that the Army is conducting no experimentations
with anything which could possibly be mistaken for a flying disc.
Colonel Garrett of the Air Forces Intelligence subsequently contacted
Mr. Reynolds and indicated that he had discussed this matter with General
Schulgen of the Army Air Forces. General Schulgen had previously assured both
Mr. Reynolds and Colonel Garrett that to the best of his knowledge and in­
formation no experiments were being undertaken by the Government which could be
mistaken for flying discs. Colonel Garrett indicated to Mr. Reynolds that
he had pointed out his beliefs to General Schulgen and had mentioned the
possibility of an embarrassing situation arising between the Air Forces
l Intelligence and the FBI. General Schulgen agreed with Colonel Garrett
\ that a memorandum would be prepared for the signature of General McDonald,
A2, to General IeMay, who is in charge of Research and Development in the
Air Corps. Colonel Garrett indicated that this memorandum will set forth
the characteristics of the objects seen by various reliable individuals.
The memorandum will then request General I.e:May to indicate whether or not
any experiloonts are being undertaken by the Air Forces which could possibly
be connected with any of the observed phenomena.
Colonel Garrett stated
, that when a reply is received from General I..eMa.y, a comnmnication will be
addressed to the Bureau.
Mr. Reynolds will follow this matter closely with Colonel Garrett
and General Schulgen so that the Bureau will be promptly advised of all
infozmation regarding the flying discs, especially aey information indicating
that they are, in fact, an experiment of some Governmental agency.
