l. An employee of this Department recently called the attention
of the undersigned to a number of letters appearing in A...AZING STO:rtl1S
Magazine on the subject of flying discs. Several past issues of the
magazine were then reviewed, and it does appear that the readers of
AMAZING STORIES have reported a number of such incidents which ,<rare
not previously available to the Air Forces. ~tis understood that
a feature article on this subject is under preparation by AMAZING
STOltThS.
A preprint copy of this article, together with a copy of
the letters available on this subject, would be of considerable
interesti
2 .
pt.ie to the nature of the publication Ar...AZING STORil!.S and
the unfavorable publicity which might accrue to the Air Force if an
official request were made for such material, this headquarters,cannot
contact the poblisher directly. It is therefore requested that arrange­
ments be made through appropriate channels whereby the desired infor­
mation may be obtained.
3. It is realized that the above request is unusual, however,
until such time as the so-called 11l''lying Disc" phenanenon is laid to
rest, all possible sources of information should be utilized.
