1. The inclosures relate to the investigation of an incident which alleged occurred during the night of 1/2 September 1952, and which has a possible relation to Project Blue Book. The investigation was conducted by this office on 3 and 4 September 1952.

2. Inclosures 1 and 2 give details of the investigation. A list of samples obtained during the investigation and pertinent data on each are included in Inclosure 3. These samples have been forwarded to OSI with a request that they be submitted to the FBI for lab analysis. The results of the analysis will be forwarded as soon as they become available.

3. Inclosure 4 contains 5 photographic negatives taken of the area in question at 1430 hours on 4 September 1952. All shots except the one showing the cap on the ground were taken of the ring in its original state. The color of the deposit was approximately the same as on the preceding evening when samples were taken, but the amount of the deposit appeared to have disfinished somewhat. The shot in which the cap appears on the ground was taken after limestone had been spread over the original ring in order to provide better definition. Care was taken to duplicate the original configuration, both as to shape and density.
