From: John Edgar Hoover, Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation

Subject: FLYING SAUCERS

The following information has been received by this Bureau from its representative in London, England, concerning the captioned matter:

Major E. P. Walkers, Provost Marshal, U. S. Air Force Base, Mildenhall, England, telephonically contacted the writer on February 14, 1953, regarding the new or revived interest in "flying saucers." He stated he did not have any new information to report but he knew of an incident that took place several years ago which this Bureau might desire to check.

This incident, according to Major Walkers, concerns an article or story on "flying saucers" which appeared in a small newspaper with limited circulation located at Jeffersonville, Delaware Township, Sullivan County, New York. He was unable to recall the name of the newspaper but was certain it is the only one published in that area. The story appeared in one of the early 1947 issues or in one of the issues during the last three months of 1946. It was written by a member of the U. S. Armed Forces and of significance is the fact that subsequent issues failed to follow it up by
