1. Considerable material has been gathered by the Air Materiel

Command, WRIGHT FIELD, Ohio, concerning the appearance, description and
functioning of the object popularly known as "Flying Saucers". A copy of
the report from the Air Materiel Command is on file at this
Headquarters.

2. The opinion was expressed that some sort of object, such as the

flying saucer, did exist. At the present time, construction models are
being built for wind tunnel tests. It is further suspected that the
flying objects may have been developed from original plans and
experiments conducted by the Germans prior to the capitulation.
Headquarters, 970th CIO Detachment, European Command is desirous of
locating German Aircraft specialists and test pilots who might have some
knowledge of similar aircraft. It is requested you canvass your area for
possible identity of aircraft specialists or test pilots known in your
area with such knowledge. This canvass is to be made discreetly and to
conceal our interest in the subject. If any are located, a copy of the
Air Materiel Command report with specific EEI's will be forwarded to
permit further interrogation and test of knowledge.

3. This canvass, both of files and sources of information, should
be begun as soon as possible. Your initial report is due this
Headquarters by:
