Rockfield, Wisconsin, 1947: irmão vê de sete a dez discos passarem sem ruído, e a irmã recebe um aviso assinado por "Rainbow City, Antártida"

January 5, 1948. J. Edgar Hoover, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: On January 2nd I received a letter. It is postmarked Cincinnati, Ohio, and it bears no return address. Following is an exact copy of it. I will keep the original if it is needed at a future date. [copy:] 1 — Marion Beuscher — In as much as all of you insist on talking and of telling of what you are supposed to be seeing, all of you must be warned. no — not warned in the true sense of the word, but these things are decidedly not supposed to be seen. Please do not mention anymore. Government, Rainbow City, Antarctica

In the January, 1948 copy of "Amazing Stories" magazine; published by Ziff-Davis Pub. Co. (one office in Washington, D.C.); my letter was printed under the heading of "Flying Saucer Witness" (page 167). Here is a copy of it: Sirs: I have just finished reading the October issue of "Amazing Stories", in which you ask for "flying saucer" information. Here is what I know: On June 28, 1947, at 3:43 P.M. my brother saw the flying saucers — about seven to ten of them — which flew directly over our house. He said they went like "blue blazes" — didn't make any noise and were heading approximately South. (Rockfield, where my brother's farm is, is just 16 miles northwest of Milwaukee.) But what is really strange is that same afternoon the discs were seen over Illinois (they must have been the same ones). This information was given on June 29th — Sunday — over WGN — "The Latest News" at 8 to 8:15 A.M. with Charles Sebastin. He reported that the discs had been sighted over Illinois the preceding afternoon. Perhaps the information is valueless to you. At any rate please keep this confidential. Our neighbors think we're slightly "queer" to have seen the discs. (I didn't see them but I believe my brother.) I have been following the Shaver

stories and I hope you have many more of them. Marion Beuscher, Menomonee Falls, Wisc. [Editor's note copied from the magazine, summarized.] The editor had asked for letters from readers who saw the flying discs, mentioned so much in the news. Several times the editor (Ray A. Palmer) has mentioned in "Amazing Stories" that he has been threatened. In the same issue (Jan. 1948) on page 162, is a letter from W. C. Hefferlin, following: [copy of the magazine letter begins; summarized]

[Handwritten copy of W. C. Hefferlin's published letter and of the editor's reply; summarized. Short quote:] "Their headquarters is 'Rainbow City', Antarctica."

[End of editor's note copied from the magazine; summarized.] Please notice where Hefferlin says — "government of ... all oppressed peoples ..." They want all rights and privileges that there are yet want to deny them to others, especially the freedom of free speech, as witness from "Rainbow City" telling me to "keep quiet"! And why did they number their letter to me "1" — are they intending to write more? As my letter is a warning letter with a threat, and coming through the U.S. mail I am sending it to you personally so that it can be investigated. Please keep this confidential since under the circumstances, I do not feel entirely safe. Thanking you, Very truly yours, (Miss) Marion Beuscher, [address], Menomonee Falls, Wisc.

January 14, 1948. Miss Marion Beuscher, [address], Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Dear Miss Beuscher: Your letter of January 5, 1948, has been received and I want to thank you for forwarding information to me relating to the subject you mentioned. The facts you related, however, do not reflect any violation of a Federal statute within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI. The thoughts prompting your communication are indeed appreciated. Sincerely yours, John Edgar Hoover, Director. WN:cm. NOTE: Correspondent reports correspondence she has had with the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company in connection with the "flying saucers" which were observed by her brother. She is of the opinion that this publication may be trying to conceal information related to our Nation's security and she mentions a threat that does not refer injury to person or property.
