65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894_Serial_220 Serial 220 of 62-HQ-83894 — at present the OCR yields only the dust-jacket text of Gray Barker's 1956 book *They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers* (University Books, NY), suggesting the FBI-collected enclosure is a copy of that jacket; the underlying Bureau cover memo is not visible in the current OCR pass.
The 62-HQ-83894 case file (FBI's principal UFO/'flying disc' file, 1947-1968) has been posted on the FBI Vault for years. Per the official war.gov summary itself: 'This file is partially posted on FBI vault with more redactions and some pages missing. Included here is the complete case file with several newly declassified pages and only minor redactions.' That language confirms Serial 220 is a less-redacted reissue of material previously available on the public FBI Vault, plus possibly newly unredacted content.

To the President of the Commission of Scientific Investigation
of the United States of North America
New York
Dear Mr. President,
This is to greet you and at the same time to bring to your
knowledge the STUDIES which I permit myself to send to that Honorable Commission
of Scientific Investigation, because I believe that it is my duty to make
them available for the deep consideration of that commission over which
you so worthily preside.
This deals with stratospheric aerostats (?)* or Flying¥ saucers
as people commonly call them, and which I believe your great Nation, making
use of ATOMIC force, possesses. Before giving an exposition of my IDEA, I
want you to know of the Inventions which I have thought up by means of my
STUDIES as an IDEOGRAPHIC Inventor, and which have been REGISTERED and
PATENTED by other persons whom I do not know and which are the following:
"GOTE-GRADUNS" (DROP GRADUATION?)
The "Gote-Graduns" was originated when I was making studies on
Atmospheric Graduations of the Farth and one afternoon it occurred to me
to graduate a Dropper. The experiment did not cause me a great deal of
work since I was able to graduate it with ease, but the PLANS of my IDEA
were stolen from me and patented in your Nation.
WAUTOMATIC SHOVELS" for Dump-Trucks (or Concrete-Mixers)
The Automatic Shovels originated when a party of Workers‘i wag ___—
trying to fill a Dump-Truck in front of the Custom House of the Port. I
took my watch and I was able to prove that the workers took a long time to
£i11 the truck since it took almost an hour and a half of continuous work.
Then I thought that the same Truck equipped with an Automatic Shovel could
do the same work in less time. I set about drawing up the plans and I sent
them to Mexico to the Secretary of National Economy. The plans remained there
"'h‘(se words are written "aereo-astactos extratofericos". I think that
he writer intended to write "aereo-estaticos estratoesfericos".
The writer frequently uses capital letters when there is no apparent need
for them. I have retained them in the translation.
"Camiones de volteo", literally, "trucks for turning over or revolving".
o
for eight months. After that time, and after I had paid all my fees as an
Inventor of the said Apparatus, I received a reply stating that the said
Patent had already been given to another person whose identity I do not
know.
"ROOMS FOR MEASURING OPTICS" for the Examination of vision.
I have this study in my possession and have not REGISTERED it since
I need to prove some things in order to be able to put it into effect.
"THE GRADUAL CENTIMETRIC MUSIC OF THE FUTURE" or the discovery of
Sound (15) composed for PTANOMETRICS, PHONOMETRICS, CENTIMETRICS and
DISCOPHONOMETRICS .
I have finished this Study and the plans are in the TOWN LI BRARY
of this Port, as well as the Autophonics and the Euphonics of Alphabetic
Letters.
The "FERROTACTOMETER and the FERROCEMACTOMETER" to eliminate Railway
collisions from a DISTANCE at Road crossings. I extended this IDEOGRAPHIC
TNVENTION to eliminate automobile collisions on Roads, but since I do not
have money I was not able to put it in PRACTICE nor to have it REGISTERED.
"EXQUINOCIS" (?) of graduation, time and distance, in order to
determine the distribution and division of TIME on CLOCKS of the whole World.
This drawing is in the Town Library of this Port.
Description of the STABILITY of SURFACE and the SUPERMEDIA (?) in
order to prevent the sinking of big Transatlantic liners, guaranteeing
the lives and interests of persons who travel, like those of Navigation
Companies of the whole World.
The graduation and Illumination of the Wharves which load large
quantities of combustible materials, in order to eliminate accidents on the
Wharves during the loading and unloading of the same.
Study of the MULTIPLES and the SUBMULTIPLES of Mechanized gears.
This study is correlated with Music since it deals with Universal mechanical
gearing or the gradual Centimetric Music of the Future.
"STRATOSPHERIC AFROSTATS"
In this study enters Global Stability which the Globe has and
Semi-Global Stability which the Parachute has. Uniting the two STABILITIES
into one, we find the superior Stability or the SUPER-STARILITY of bodies
in Air or space. These apparatuses can be used in order to avoid Atomic
Explosion on the Farth, since the velocity is Greater than that of Light or
Sound in accordance with the quantity of Atomic Material which is used in
their fabrication. These apparatuses can be thrown from the ground or from
-3-
the Water since the Conic-Global or Global-Conic form permits it.
The force that the said apparatus can develop can be compared
only with THOUGHT since this has no barriers on the earth such as mountains
and clouds in Space, This apparatus can be used for the Study of the Stars.
This force is applied by means of stratospheric skyrockets placed at the top
or sides of this apparatus using Nuclear-Atomic force,
I hope that my idea is Studied and approved by the said Commission
and may serve for the Progress of the Universe instead of its DESTRUCTION,
and for the good of all of us human beings who inhabit the Earth.
My description is IDEOGRAPHIC, but I believe that it will be a
grain of sand which will help the SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION of that big
Nation.
Cordially yours,
Miguel Angel Garcia Macias
Ideographic Inventor

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS OF A "FLYING SAUCER", OBTAINED IN DURANGO AT AN
ALTITUDE OF 9000 FEET
(Caption under photographs)
Mr. German Horacio/\Robles Jr., student at the National School of
Engineering, is one of the th§usands of persons who have seen "with their
own eyes" the flying saucers or disks which have become the general topic of
commentaries and have given rise to the most varied hypotheses. HRut at the
same time the young man himself is the first to have photographed those
strange apparatuses. He observed one of them and was able to take its
picture against the skies of the city of Durango. 1. Picture of the "flying
saucer" at an altitude of 8000 to 9000 feet above the streets of Durango.
The apparatus seems to be a double truncated cone, joined at its bases which
moves by something like jet propulsion and which displaces itself by changing
position in order to use its motive force in the direction desired, for which
reason it can be seen under apparently different forms. 2. Conception of
Mr. Robles Jr., c¢oncerning the real form of the strange mechanical objects
drawn by him. 3. Another aspect of the flying saucer. 4. The future civil
engineer, Horacicfig‘:les Jr. sketched in our editorial offices after having
reported his obser ions on the flying disk and after having handed over
the pictures of this apparatus which he had obtained.
