[endereço omitido], Brooklyn 27, N.Y. July l 4th , l947 ., Mr . J . Edgar Hoover .Ch1ef,of the F.B.1. washington,D.C. Dear Sir; /Pl ease forg i ve me for taking up your t i me ,with this item .It really is•'t necessary .Yet , al though everybodys tongue was waggi ng from the Ee.st and to the V/est coast , I coul dn ' t resist putting my oar in. 'jf.Jn Saucer s in the Sky. Heading for the Milky \i:lf •Funny?I dont know. we read and re.ad and read . "Sky Disc Derby Open to All" • "Calls "Saucers"Trick of Vision" -" Bel1eve i t or not , 27 States see those flying sauoers" - "Vlho saw the savcers ?40 States 1n the Game11 - "Cel eatia l Dishes sought bet\"leen the Raindrops" - 11Find 'Disk' is weather k1te" - 11 Disks cal led chunks of M1rage11 - 11Report new Red Planes resemble 1Flying saucers'" .-Ai r -liner crew reports seeing 9 flying disk e for 12 minutes" . That ' s the way it went on, for days and days . Please , dont remind me that this i s a military problem . Soldiers f~eht thee~­ emy out in the open and away from home if possible .The Federal Agents(the unsung heroes)fight the ememy under cover and in their home grounds . so . Here I am. These so-ia lled saucers may be kites , but accorfi1ng to reports , these things didn ' t flutter or float , they sailed and kites don ' t sail , t118 st•anges part is, they all sailed in the same direction,from West to East . Rewards were offered , no collectora . Ploo.nes chased them , none captured . They had to land , no finders . so . As long as the Military , Scientist and Civilians deny,being respo msible for this . were doe a it lead to JAn enemy. A little while back,it was mentioned somewhere that Russia had or has a contraption for their next war,em­ itt1ng sound(like a silent whistle for dogs}v,hat 1t'suxto do,th their enemy,! don ' t know.If a country was experimenting such a weapon , the brave people of the u. s . were not scared . They only informed the so - called enemy how successful they t il•t:1 were • I t could be an optical illusion , or;suppoaing some unwelcomed persons,p l anted a few wel l chosen words,here and there and l eft the rest to a}1 confused mind, These innocent people reporting the phenomena. . What confuses me i s,that when we became too cur ious and determined to find l out what they really are , those things disappeared and we found substi,Utes,calle3 kites .These things resembling description as near as possible to the real thing, Why couldn't these things have been directed b. ck home again like a homit1g pigeon~ To make sport of this thing , is 1:Bd taste . It sort of reminds me of the boy tha~ cried WOLF. Whan the wolf really came. 'l.'Was sad .He ,was a nice boy . There sLo'lJ r: hr. law , against such Jokes or e:2_1;p~.rj-~illi§ui\~ea'"t -th ...
