_ sme - ” DIRECTOR, FBI March 22, 1949 It was brought out that since December 5, 1948 there have been more than ten incidents analagous to the "green fireball" above described and some tventy others with miner deviations from the above, It is also pointed out that the only sitings which had occurred seemed to have been confined to the Los Alamos, Las Vegas, and ‘jest Texas triangle. G<-2 also advised that as of November l, 1948, information had been reecsived from higher Military authorities that the Air Force had advised that such gitings occur periodically and that another period of sitings was then imminent, Further, on February 14, 1949, higher Military authorities advised that it was believed that ultimately it would be found that the phenomena in question have a natural cxplanation. It is further noted thet about 7:30 p.m., March 6, 1949, what was at first thought to be a flare was seen approximately one-half mile north of Killeen Bas¢ in the area of the Vital Installation at Camp Hood, Texas, and a second flare was noticed at 1:45 am., Harch 7, 1949, approximately three miles from Killeen Base. It has since been concluded that the flares scen near Killeen are probably similar to the phenomena previously noted in the Los Alamos, Sandia Basc Area although these are the first sitings of such phenomena near Cemp Hood, There appears to be rcason to believe that the above-mentioned phenomena may be connected with scerct experiments being conducted by some U.S. Government Agency as it is belicved that the United States is farther advanced in guided missile development than any forcign power, Although the primary responsibility for investigating such mattcrs is now with the U.sS. AeF. Air Matericl Command, G-2, 4th Army is.still intcrested in being advised of any further sitings of such phenomena which might be observed.
