FBI ' flying ' NM Bureau memo seen

ALBUQUERQUE, n.m. (AP) — A single-page FBI memo relaying a vague and unconfirmed reports of flying saucers found in New Mexico in 1950 became the most popular files in electronic reading-room Office.

The memorandum, dated March 22, 1950, was sent from the FBI in Washington, D.C., field Office Chief Guy Hottel to Director j. Edgar Hoover.

According to the FBI, the paper was first published in the 1970s and more recently has been available in the "Vault", an electronic reading room the Agency launched in 2011, where it became the most popular item, viewed nearly 1 million times. The database contains approximately 6,700 public documents.

Loosely written, the memo describes a story told by an unnamed third party that supports an Air Force investigator reported that three flying saucers have been recovered in New Mexico, even though the note did not say exactly where in the State. the FBI report is indexed to its files but does not investigate further; the name of a "whistleblower" some of the reporting information is blacked out in the memos.

The memo offers a number of bizarre details.

Within each saucer, "everybody was occupied by three bodies of human form, but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metal canvas a very thin plot," according to the report. "Every body was swaddled in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by the flyers speed and test pilots".

Because the Government had a high-powered radar, set up in the area and it is believed that the radar has interfered with the mechanism for monitoring of UFOs, according to the informant, the small plates were found in New Mexico.

the FBI has filed neatly typed on page 63 years ago at her home and "no further assessment was attempted."

Memo does not seem to be correlated to the 1947 at Roswell, n.m., when Air Force officials said they recovered a UFO, only later to recant and say he was a research balloon.

"For a few years after the Roswell incident, Director (j. Edgar) Hoover did for its agents — at the request of the air force — to verify any UFO sightings," the FBI said Thursday. "This practice ended in July 1950, four months after the memo Hottel. Suggesting that our Washington Field Office I don't think enough about the history of the flying saucer to look into it. "
