                                  Flying Saucer,
      a weapon tested in 194k, which is probably now being produced in
      series, and at this time causes a great stir, is & V-weapon which
      has a round body similar to a disk having a diameter of about
      48«50 me   On the outer ring it has about L5-50 automatic circular
      nozzles which after the ignition of the disk circulate around a
      plexiglass sphere in the center in which the measuring and controlling
      devices for long-distance steering are locateds  In the sphere is still
      sufficient space for atom bombs.  These weapons are in iussian hands
     and can have an effective range of 30-35,000 km.      The constructor of
      V-weapons RIEDEL in Germany stated that it concerns a typical       V-weapon
      on which he had worked himself.  I am sure that the       truth is better
      than a panic among ignorant pecple.

Dear   Mr     Hoover:


                   I don't know                   if you analyze articles                 so will
send you a sample of (something that looks like tinsel)
because my uncle found it in a pasture in a round pile,
underneath of it, it looks as tho the clover was burned,
& there are 3 similar patches which are burned in a
triangle          form.           Last         Sunday     Morning      the    Neighbors         Wife
got    up    to    get       a    drink of water &               happned       to   see    a    steady
white Light             circling their farm,                     but didn't pay any
attention to             it.           Than       Sunday     morn.     when    my   uncle       went
to    get    the       cows,          he       saw this      stuff shining          in the      Sun
lighte        It couldn't of been                         dropped out of a           plane as          it
was    loose       &    not       in       a    container &      the    nearest       road      is
about a # mile                   from the pasture & now we are                        wondering
what    it    is.        So       would          like   to    have   you     analyze      it    & let
me    know.

                                                             Sincerely        yours,

                     I;{\viaw of the current hysteria concerning the
         so-called     TMflying saucers", I thought that the Bureau
         might be interested in the              following information concern=
         ing the   captioned organization.

                     I    am transmitting herewith certain literature con=-
         cerning the captioned organization which was furnished to
         me by FRANCIS OHM, who operates the Businessmens Assurance
         Company in Sen Diego and who has his office in the same
         bullding housing the FBI office.

                     It is of interest to note that on Friday,                   August I
         1952, at approximately 12300' noon, FRANCIS OHM asked to se
         me urgently, which I did.               As a member of the captioned
         organization,       he advised me that they were having                a meeti
         at 1:00 PM the same day,            inasmuch as they had been advise
         that   they had some very important information to                    discuss.
         He went on to relate that through the means utilized by h                        bt
         organization (which the enclosed literature will reflect
         borders on the oceult), they were able to prognosticate
         well in advance the recent earthquake which occurred in
         Tehachapl,       California.,      He   advised that      they have    also
         been   sble to obtain the following information:

                     1.     That   a very severe tidal wave will hit the
         Pacific Ocean sometime in the not too remote future and
         that most of the Japanese Islends will be washed away
         end disappear,

                  2.        That 2ll fishes with scales in Japanese
         waters will       soon leave these waters for other destina-
         tions,    in view of the oncoming tidal wave.

                     3.     That this tidal wave will wash away the
         Hawaiian Islands.

                     i,     Thet the West Coast of the United States will
         likewise be affected by this tidel wave.

                     5.     That they prognosticated the appearance of
         a new island in the Pacific which was published in the
         newspapers within         the    past   week,

                   6.        That the flying saucers                are not fantasies; that
they are factual and actualj that his associetes in the captioned
organization have been in conversation with the men operating
the flying saucers, and that they have asked that high officials
of    the U,       S,       Government be informed that they are here on our
planet on a peaceful mission                          and that they are not on a warlike
mission.  However, if the U,                          S. Government continues to send
planes       after these             flying     saucers       snd if these planes            fire on
the flying seucers, they have disintegrators which they will
utilize and which will disintegrate these plmes completely in
no time flat,


                   Mr., OHM requested that either I myself attend the
meeting       at    1:00 PM or that I designate a stenographer to attend
the    meeting,             so    that   she   could    take down       all    the minutes      of   the
meeting,  I told him that unfortunately this was very short
notice, that I had another commitment and that our stenogrephers
were       pretty well             occupied     at    that   time,      He    sald   he would    advise
me    of    anything             important     that    might    transpire       at    the   meeting.       k
As of August                2,   1952,   he has not advised me of enything which
transpired             at    the    meeting.

                   I    should like to point out that OHM appears to be                                |       1
a perfectly sane,                   sound individuel;          he     operates       a very large
insurance business                   in Sen Diego,           and is    convinced in his own
mind of the             efficacy of this              organization,

                   No       investigation is being conducted concerning this
matter       and    I       do not contemplate attending any meetings of this
orgeanization,

          We have finished the eramination and are preparing to advise the
         Air      Force         as follows:

                                 1.     There       is no       residue which would permit a determination
          as    to       the     nature       of    the material            which caused              the    burns in the
          cap.           In addition           to    the    obvious         burns,         there      is    one minute burned
          area which is probably too small                                  to have been caused                 intentionally
          but     more          likely    by a       small          hot   ember.

                                 2.,    The    bill       and       a   large part         of   the    edges    of   the   cap
         are singed but the singeing is not uniform as would be expected
         if it had been caused at one time by a single flash of flame.   The
         front edge of the cap bill is more severely singed than other
         portions of the cap.  This condition would not be expected if the
          source          of     the flame          was    directly         overhead.                                                           1   v

                                 3. When the cap is observed from the front,the left                                                       /}
          edge of the                  insignia and         the fold            in   the    blue cloth,         there      is an
          absence of singeing noted under the fold suggesting the possibility
          that the cap was not being worn when the singeing took place.
          It is noted that this fold "smooths out” when the cap is placed
          on     the      head.
