SUBJECT:
YLnNG DISCS AND SAUCERS
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATICN CONCERNING
For the Bureau's information, several citizens in the community of
Alexandria, Louisiana, have recently reportedly seen flying discs. The Alexan­
dria, Louisiana daily paper has carried nUJD3rous articles concerning this.
At a recent meeting of the Young Mens Business Club in Alexandria,
a member suggested that since Alexandria, Louisiana is known as a convention city,
the club should try promoting a convention of flying saucer seers. This particu­
lar comment appeared in the Alexandria paper and was picked up by the JJ' lines.
Mr. A. M_y"D~GELO, a member of the Young Mens Business Club, advised
Special Agent WALTER E. )()EJU..E that since the JJ' release, they have received a
large number of requests regarding the convention of flying saucer seers from many
parts of the United States. Mr. DeANGELO wt.ates that the interest of the people
is evidenced by their inquiries about convention particulars, stating they are
flying saucer seers and want to attend such a convention.
This gentleman further advised that in view of the volume of inquiries
coming in, it appears that the YMBC will have to hire an employee to handle all
the correspondence. It might be noted that he advised a representative of the
Air Force from Barksdale Field, Louisiana, has inquired as to plans of a .flying
saucer convention, stating that they are interested in furnishing an observer if
such a convention were held.
This information is being furnished the Bureau, as it is possible such
an enterprise may cause people to falsify that they have seen flying discs or fly­
ing saucers. Such falsifications might be made so that they might attend such a
convention or become official delegates thereto.
