At J..0':boa .m. today, SAC Willis, Houston, called in and stated
llr. Nease__
WISS llolJIIJO__
that Full~ackwell, a busin?ss man~ Housto~, Texas, had furnished
WleO Go.nc!y__
certain pictures taken by a friend of his, Lo~ack of the Humboldt
Oil Company, Houston, Texas, and had related that Noack had been flying
with a friend in a private plane from California to Houston and that at a
point about 30 miles east of Lone Pine, California, some object lying on the
ground made a very strong reflection and they made a check to determine what
would cause this bright reflection. They finally landed the plane and found
an object which could be described as being 8 1 in diameter with wings about
4' long.
The object is about 1 1 in thickness and in the center there appears
to be some type of gyroscope.
The wings apparently are fitted with some type
of jet propulsion.
An examination was made by Noack and his friend and they
could find no identi.f.'ying marks and took photographs of the object they
observed.
SAC Willis stated he had informed Lieutenant Robert Fleming of the
ill', Ellington Field, and Captain Bush, the Army representative in Houston,
of this object and that Noack would be interviewed that morning in the Houston
Office with Lieutenant Fleming being present.
Lieutenant Fleming wanted the
statements of Noack taken down by a stenographer and he will furnish the
stenographer for that purpose.
I instructed SAC Willis to funti.sh complete details of this matter
by idr mail special delivery, including a copy of the photograph.
I further
instructed that he furnish the same details to the proper field office because
unquestionably the Bureau would want to run this thing out.
After talking with you, I phoned SAC Willis back and told him to
insure the presence of a Bureau Agent at the time this object was examined by
the Army Air Forces and that he should make proper arrangements with the office
in California to see that an Agent was present. I also told him to adVise me
/I

of the developments.
