‘ANDARD FORM NO. 64 a > Office Memorandum *_ UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO : j Director, FBI - Attention; Assistant DATE: July. 28, 1947 JS Director D. M. LADD Ss FROM : SAC, San Francisco bee | SUBJECT: \FLYING DISCS There is transmitted herewith for the information of the Bureau a report received from Lieutenant Colonel DONALD L. SPRINGER, A-2, Hamilton Field, California, containing the results of an investigation by his office concerning the reported sighting of flying discs. In addition to containing the detailed descriptions of what was allegedly seen by several persons, the Bureau's attention is particularly called to the first memorandum setting forth the notes of Agent FRANK M. |BROWN, CIC, Fourth Air Force, concerning an interview he had with Mr. KENNETH JARNOLD, Box 587, Boise, Idaho, who reported that on July 12, 1947 he had seen nine strange objects flying over the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington State. It will be noted that CIC Agent BROWN reports that™Mr. ARNOLD is very outspoken and somewhat bitter in his opinions of the leaders of the United States Army Air Forces and the FBL for not having made an investigation of this matter sooner." The thought has occurred to me that the Bureau might desire to have an agent of the Butte Office contact Mre ARNOLD and explain to him our lack of / , jurisdiction in such matters. 4) en HMK semb co be Enclosure ms 5 y, f | d DECLASSIFIED Authority: NND 90986
