Reference is made to Bureau Bulletin Mo. 42., Series 1947., dated
July 30, 1947 re the above.
For the Bureau' s :information a .Mrs. ~ANDERSON of Saybrook,
Illinois reported to this office the finding of a flying disc
in her front yard at 6:00 A.M. on July 26, 1947.
It appears from investigation conducted by an Agent of this
office that the stability of JUNE ANIEBSON is questionable.
H<Yr·r­
ever the alleged f~g disc was obtained and it is apparently
the concoction of some of the juveniles in the area.
It is an
old wooden pl.atter, which has assembled on it a silver plate, a
spark plug, a timer., and sone ol d bt-ass tub:ing.
Photographs
were taken of the sane and there are six views enclosed herewith.
No doubt this was someone's idea of a prank.
The disc is present'.cy- being ret ained by the Springfield Office and
will be :retained pending receipt of Bureau advice relative to its
destruction. The thought :in retaining it was that perhaps the
Bureau might desire to have it transmitted to Washington for any
novel value it might hav~.
