Director, FBI SAC, San Antonio PROTECTION OF VITAL INSTALLATIONS August 16, 1949 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. CEW:cs 100-7545 copies of reports filed with original 51 SEP 9 1949 162-83894 NOT RECORDED 149 AUG 23 1949 62-83894
