reports on STRINGFIELD 1 s interview with Lieut nant Colonel
JOHN 0 1MARA, Deputy Connnander, Air Force Intelligence,
Wright Field (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio).
The same source also reported that STRINGFIELD
regularly communicates with FRAl'UC
WARDS, former A. F .
of L. radio news commentator, on the subject of sauoers
and that, according to STRINGFIELD, EDfARDS is also
intensely interested in saucers.
EDlARDS recently warned
STRINGFIELD to be very careful or the Air Force would stop
STRINGFIELD 1 s publishing activities.
This source further
reported that STRINGFIELD maintains that the U. s. Air
Force was responsible for EDWARDS being fired by the A. F.
of L. as its radio news conn:nentator because EDWARDS used
his program to publicize his (ED~ARDS 1) saucer interest.
This source further advised that STRINGFIELD
has stated in his "Newsletter" and also personally that
the U. S. Air Force maintains a strict censorship of news
pertaining to saucers, that the Air Force has several
thousand saucer scientists working on a research project
and that any military personnel working on the project
are subject to immediate court-martial if they reveal any
facts about it.
It was also related by this source that STRING­
FIELD has stated that he believes his home telephone is
peing monitored, presumably by the Air Force, and that he there­
'l.ore, makes his phone calls to Lieutenant Colonel O'MARA
at Wright- ~atterson Air Force Base and to FRANK EDWARDS
from his office at the DuBois Company, Inc., 1120 ~est
Front Street, Cincinnati 3, Ohio, where he is employed as
the Advertising Manager.
This source was of the opinion
that STRINGFIELD is now afraid to proceed too much for fear
the U. S. Air Force will in some way stop his operations
and that ED ARDS 1 warni~ to STRINGFIELD came after STRING­
FIELD had issued the October 1, 1954 "Newsletter" concerning
his talk with Colonel 0 1MARA.
At the same time, this source
continued, STRINGFIELD in talking about the possibility
that the U. s. Air Force might stop his operations, made a
statement to the effect,
11The Air Force can't do anything
to me .
I 1m claiming saucers are interplanetary."
