Ernes Cuneo advised that Walte

:::~~,::
Lfo
a letter from Peter Camerlo~ones, 164 West 7th Street, Los
~~~=-­
Angeles 7, California.
Mr. C~o read the~
let er to me and it
~:: =•
was very well written1obviously by a man of intelligence. In ~
·~
this letter Jones stated that in August of 1947 he left Los An{e~es' -r---,.. ~­
for the mountains and started hiking through the mountains.
About
.I(J 1£/J
10:00 A. M. he was lying on the ground when he observed about one-
/~'/I[~'-"~
half block away from him a large silver metal, greenish in color,
shaped l i ke a child's top and about the size of the balloons used
at County Fairs.
He stated that there appeared to be two windows
in the object and portions of metal appeared transparent and that he
J, ~
gained the impression that there was some life within this obje~
µ,c:11 ~f.-dl.
although he saw no persons.
The object appeared as though ~
as
a pressure chamber.
He stood up and waved towards this object and
this so-called flying saucer was of£ the ground in a second, knocking
Jones to the ground. In its flight he stated that its power was
silent and he raised the question as to whether this was ::ial an
inier• global landing on our planet. He thought that it might be a
devise to land in our planet because the occupants of another planet
had become curious as to the reaction caused by the explosion of the~
.
atomic bomb causing trouble in an expanded universe. He ~
question as to whether it was possible that the occupants of another
planet might have solved the theory of negative gravity.
Mr. Cuneo stated that this letter indicated a very good
lmowl edge of physics and that he thought it ,,ou.ld be interesting to
check into Jones' background and then possibly interview him about
this alleged flying saucer.
Mr. Cuneo stated that it would appear
that Jones may have actually seen a flying saucer, that in any event
it made an awfully good story and he requested that the Bureau keep
the matter in confidence.
I would recommend that the Los Angeles Office discreetly ~
check into the background of Jones and thereafter interview him for
, r/
the purpose of determining aey facts he possesses about flying
saucers in order that it may be determined whether his story is in
any way accurate.
