STANDARD FORM NO. 84 Office Memorandum • UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO: Director, FBI FROM: SAC, San Antonio DATE: August 16, 1949 SUBJECT: PROTECTION OF VITAL INSTALLATIONS I am attaching 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 Air Corps. Consequently, this office is following the practice of reviewing these data and then destroying them in the event there appears to be nothing of FBI interest therein. It is pointed out that the filing of these would result in the rapid accumulation of very bulky files. Unless the Bureau believes this is unwise, this practice will continue. Encls.
