S/I, Office of the AC of S, G-2, Headquarters Fourth Army, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, 16 March 1949, subj, "Unusual Lights"

without the fence. The Security Officer of Site Baker is investigating. He stated the light was not carried by any of the AFSHP personnel.

Investigation continues in an effort to determine cause of the "lights." Last information is that 32 trip flares have been put into the general area by the 2nd Armored Division and that some may have been set off by wild animals. Subsequent summary will be rendered when more exact evidence on flares is obtained. It is presently known, however, that these flares explode on the ground and do not shoot into the air.

No conclusion is drawn from the data on attached overlay other than to note that the "lights" form a rough circle about the "Q" Area. Copy of surface weather observations for Camp Hood on the 6, 7, and 8 March 1949 are attached as a possible aid in analysis. This report covers only day hours since the USAF weather service at Camp Hood closes at 1700 hours and opens at 0730 hours.
