Gentlemen:
   I saw [redacted] last Saturday in Willits,
before he got on the bus to go to Eureka. I went to
Willits for the mail for my son-in-law.
   In our talk he said well if
there is anything in the drawings of the mechanism
of the saucer that will help you along on yours
Homic[?]way engine use it - here are the drawings look
them over and if you can find any thing to help you
O.K. These drawings are made in Russian I think
so I could not read the instructions or lettering a
bit I did see and he explained to me the centrifugal
that pulls the saucer and is inside the saucer
I seen the rudders of it I do not how they are

fel jittery about this fellow Ubalsky as I think he is a very bad egg
and etc. He was friendly to me and told me to do the best I could and when
get it done to let them know and my price will be paid fronto.
This keeps me on a footing with them and I stall them off all the time.
   Well this is the saucer as I have it for you.

SAC, KNOXVILLE

NATIONAL MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT
(Unknown Object Over Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
3/1/50; [redacted] - COMPLAINANT).

Re Knoxville teletype to Bureau, Attention Mr. [redacted], dated
March 6, 1950, entitled "Unknown Object Over Oak Ridge, 3/1/50; [redacted]
COMPLAINANT".

   Referenced teletype advised that the reliability of [redacted],
complainant in this matter, had been questioned and the efficiency of his radar
equipment placed in some doubt. It is felt advisable, however, to apprise the
Bureau of all matters in connection with this incident.

   At 11:15 P. M. on March 1, 1950, Mr. [redacted], owner and
operator of [redacted], Knoxville,
Tennessee, telephonically communicated with this office advising that he had
detected on his privately owned radar equipment an indication of what he be-
lieved to be an object circling at an altitude of 40,000 feet over Oak Ridge,
Tennessee. At approximately 11:25 P. M. on this date, this information was
made available by me to Mr. [redacted], Security Division, Atomic Energy
Commission, Oak Ridge, for his information. Inasmuch as the matter was not
one wherein the Bureau had jurisdiction, no further action was taken.

   On the morning of March 2, 1950, Mr. [redacted] communicated with Third
Army authorities at Ft. McPherson, Georgia and the 14th U. S. Air Force at
Greenville, South Carolina, at which time they were advised of the information
furnished by [redacted].

   At approximately 5:30 P. M. on March 2, 1950, a telephone call was
received by me from Mr. [redacted] advising he had been talking with Captain
[redacted], an assistant to Chief [redacted] of the AEC Security Patrol concerning the
reported object over Oak Ridge, Tennessee. [redacted] further advised that his
equipment was surplus Army radar equipment bearing the designation APN-7 which
he himself had converted for acceptable use with his radio equipment. He
continued that he used this radar equipment to track airliners in and out and
with this equipment he could distinguish between a DC-3 and a DC-4. He
stated he had again spotted the object at approximately 11:05 A. M. on March 2,
1950 and he estimated it to be approximately twenty miles away at an altitude
of 100,000 feet and circling over Oak Ridge.

In response to your inquiry, Special Lzcnt s.
the f0110%ing information today (3/26/50) from Major ard Lieutenant
The Air Force discontinued
Colonel J, V, Hearn of Air Force Intelligence,
their intelligence project. to determine what flying saucers are the I atter part
of last year, They publicly announced to the press in December, 19/+9, that
the project had 'been discontinued. They advised that the press relear.•.e had
been concurred in by the Army ard Naw, The reason for the discontinuance,
according to t!a$or Boggs and Lieutenant Colonel Hearn, was that after tzo
years of investigation ovcr three—fourths of the incidents regard inz fly inc
saucers proved to be misidentifications of a wide variety of conventional
items such as lichted weather balloons and other air—borno objects.
Colonel Hearn pointed out that the Con.•narderz of the various areaa
are charged with the security or those areas, Reports concerning flyin- saucers
received at this time will be investigated by the Krea Co.-.mnff.le:• and his repcrt
submitted to the Air Foree Intelligence Division as an itc:a,
F!aJor Boggs and Lieutenant Colonel neorn made the observation that

growth of recent magazine articles. They reiterated that the Air Force is
corducting no active investigation to determine Khether f k: ins saucers exist
or What they might happen to be.
Iou will recall that the investigation of flying saucers was discontinued
