The Hottel memo sits in a messy file

This is the FBI headquarters 'Flying Discs/Saucers' file from July 1949 to September 1950, gathering dozens of sighting reports, public letters, the Guy Hottel recovered-saucer memo, the Oak Ridge radar incident, and Air Force statements that saucer investigations were being dropped. People come here for the Hottel memo, but the pages around it matter more. That memo sits among rumors, routine forwarding, and citizen claims, and pulling it out on its own makes it look stronger than the file itself ever treated it.
