Young Men's Business Club of Alexandria, Louisiana,           announced that it was
planning a convention for         persons from all   over the nation who have   seen
flying saucers.       It was   stated that the convention was    planned so that members
may    compare notes.    It was   also    stated that flying disks were   reported twice
inthe week preceding the article in Alexandria,           Louisiana.


                    The above is furnished as a matter of information.

       Sfrom     your       off               He       referred      to    his       call    of     last
       Saturday            relative          to    a    letter Mr.             Winchell      received           from
       a   man    in       Los       Angeles       concerning          flying         saucers.           He     stated
       that      Winchell             wanted       to    do    a   column       on    this       letter        if   the
       Bureau had               no    objection.


                            I    told    h         that       whatever         he    did    with     reference            to
       writing         t         story       concerning            this    letter          was     entirely         up    to
       him     and     wouldin          no    way @ffect            anything          the    Bureau           was   doing.
       I   suggested             that    he       might       desire      to    check       with     the Air         Corps
       inasmuch            as    the    handling          of flying            saucers       was     a   matter          of prim
       interest to them.  He stated, "To hell with                                               the Air Force.                 He
       Just didn't want to release the information                                               ijf it would @Jf

X ‘P A                  Emesmneo adviged that Walt%%hell had receiv& i ro
             a letter from Peter CamerlonNJones, 16l West\37th Street, Los
             Angeles 7, California. Mr. Cureo read the letter to me and it
             was very well written,obviously by a man of intelligence.
             this letter Jones stated that in August of 1947 he left Los Ané{éé’
                                                                                In C   fw.

             for the mountains and started hiking through the mountains.  About
             10:00 A. M. he was lying on the ground when he observed about one-
             half block away from him a large silver metal, greenish in color,
             shaped like a child's top and about the size of the balloons used
             at County Fairs.  He stated that there appeared to be two windows
             in the object and portions of metal appeared transparent and that he            Z ‘)
             gained the impression that there was some life within this object               =
             although he saw no persons. The object appeared as though eesa/s
             a pressure chamber.  He stood up and waved towards this object and
             this so-called flying saucer was off the ground in a second, knocking
             Jones to the ground.  In its flight he stated that its power was
              fi}:nt and he raised the question as to whether this was &® an
                  r-global landing on our planet.  He thought that it might be a
             deviee to land in our planet because the occupants of another planet
             had become curious as to the reaction caused by the explosion of theo,fljug_
              atomic bomb causing trouble in an expanded universe.       He            e
             question as to whether it was possible that the occupants of another
             planet might have solved the theory of negative gravity.

                        Mr. Cuneo stated that this letter indicated a very good
              knowledge of physics and that he thought it would be interesting to
              check into Jones' background and then possibly interview him about
              this alleged flying saucer. Mr. Cuneo stated that it would appear
              that Jones may have actually seen a flying saucer, that in any event
              it made an awfully good story and he requested that the Bureau keep
              the matter in confidence.

                        I would recommend that the Los Angeles Office discreetly
              check into the background of Jones and thereafter interview him for
              the purpose of determining any facts he possesses about flying
              saucers in order that it may be determined whether his story is in
              any way accurate.

         3CTION   OF VITAL INSTALLATIONS



I   em   aettaching hereto a number of copies of reports being received
in great numbers          in    this    office concerning the          so-called       flying
disks or unnatural phenomena being frequently                         observed around Camp
Hood, Texas.           This    is,    of course, a primary          concern of the jir
Corps.       Consequently,           this   office   is   following the practice         of
reviewing these data             and then destroying          them    in the      event there
appeers to        te   nothing of       FBI   interest     therein.     It   is    pointed out
that the      filinz of        these would result          in the    rapid accumulation
of very bulky files.


Unless      the   Bureau believes this           is unwise,     this    practice will
continue.

                   On September 26,       1949, GLEN SPROUSE,        608 Montrose Drive,        S. Charleston,
   West Virginia,            appeared at     the Charleston,      West Virginia,    resident agency and
   gave to Special Agent JOHN B, WOODRUFF the attached letter.                            Mr,   SPROUSE stated
    that he had written              the letter following a pleasure flight from Clark Field,
    St., Albans,         West Virginia,      to Parkersburg, West Virginie,         on September 25,
    1949,         Mr,    SPROUSE    stated that after writing the letter,          he did not know
   whether it would be               of any interest to the FBI and decided that insteed of
    mailing it directly to               the Bureau at Washington,      he would contact          the local
    agent and turn it              over to him if it were thought it would be of                interest to
    the Bureau,


                   Mr.    SPROUSE stated that he has set out the complete details of this
    incident        in his    letter and     that   there   is   nothing further   that he can sdd,           He
    further        stated that he is certain this was not a mirage and                that it actually
    occurred,


                   No further action is being taken by              this office unless specified to
