had the only authentic Japanese f

country. Mr. Winchell noted on the telegram, •To J. Edgar Hoover - True?•
DETAil.3:
This matter was discussed by Special Agent Reynolds with the Intelligence
Division of the Array, who advised that they had no information concerning any
Japanese flying saucer. ever having been recovered in the United states.
This matter was discussed rlth Colonel William E. Carpenter, <SI-USAF,
who advised on April 27, 1949 that he had interested himself in the flying saucers
and related subjects and that in so far as could be determined by him through his
sources in the Air Force, which are excellent, there is no authentic information
available concerning the phenomenon of the flying saucers.
He advised he would check
with the authorities at Wright Field to determine if any information is available
coocerning the recovery of a Japanese flying saucer.
Colonel Carpenter has now advised that there is no information available
ll
in any arm of the Air Force to the effect that any flying saucers of any kind have
been recovered in the United States. Colonel Carpenter stated delq had been
encountered in determining this fact inasmuch as inquiries had been directed through
individuals known to him and t1-usted by him and not through the usual channels
from which he possibly would receive a stock answer.
The details of this case were not discussed by either Special Agen"teReynolds
or Sanders with the Army or Air Force and they are not aware of the telegram sent
by Mr. Ripley to Mr. Winchell.
