1. The following findings and conclusions of this Center are submitted to
assist you in preparing a reply either to the FBI or directly to Source:
a; There is no report of any UFO or unusual airborne object from
| Guam for any day in September 1950p in=feety-nene-fucnaluguet-er-SetoverOF “TiHat
| #@axr, ed
b, To be able to give details of small rivets, portholes and other
minute details of the large space ship sketched for the FBI, supposes that Source
must have observed the alleged UFO for some lengthy period of time.
c, An object 600-1000 feet in diameter would certainly have been
noticed by many units or persons, airborne or on the ground, and certainly would
have been picked up by radar, No radar or other reports,

AFHQ Form 0-86 dtd 27 May 58, Subj: UFO Report Submitted by FBI - Mr, D, H.
Bennett, Dallas, Texas (Cont'd)
a, Although an Air Force Command was on the island, we question
the reason why Source waited two t} years before reporting the incident to the
Air Force, and again (now) eight (8) years later,
e, ATIC files do not indicate any correspondence or report under
‘dndividuals name,
f. Based on many similar reports and cases, we are of the opinion
that Source is somewhat of an eccentric (note agents report: "someone
stalking him," and inference of "three-fourths dead"), and with strong suggest-
ions of being a publicity seeker,
2. Due to the many varied and odd cloud formations found over the Pacific,
numerous UFO reports have been received from that area, It is possible that
Source may have observed a rare form known as a “lenticular -alto cumulous",
with the alleged sighting reported as described as result of an over-active
imagination, desire for publicity or other reasons,
’ 3, A photograph of a lenticular - alto cumulous is attached,

Dear Sir <«
It might interest you to know that since the Guam sighting I have
been shot with the rings about fifty times. As the report from the shot
comes after the blackout I did not hear them and thought that I was suffering
from some physical debility. As the incident in the park had exactly the
same results (momentary blackout) I now know the real source.
On one occassion on Guam my car was completely off the road when I
came to. Either they had given me a stronger charge or the ship was closer
to ms. I was unconcious at least five seconds. I reported this to my
boss E. A. Fitzgerald of Denver, Col. and he can verify the above state-
ment.
After this incident they reverted back to the weaker shots so I
doubt that they were trying to do me any harm. The only disconcerting
thing about the whole business is that the attack always came when I
was on either a curve or a mountain road = but that could be coincidence.
I believe that these ‘people’ are here on a friendly exploration -
observation trip and will not leave without contacting us and establishing
some sort of a relationship. If they are unfriendly and bent on conquest
they will not want to contact us until the fire-works begin. The only
way to ascertain their motive is to attempt a contact - and I suggest
just that.
They know me and know that I am conditioned to the fact that they
exist therefore I suggest that Qggget and myself drive to som isolated
spot in the country, preferably Alaska, where I will try for a complete
contact. I chose GWE to go with me because he appears to have a good
grasp of the situation and also to have the necessary guts. He will not
be in on the finale but I will need some one within fifty miles of me
to whom I can relay information - if I get any.
I shudder when I think of what will happen if we do not attempt this
contact and the Russians succeed in making one. Typeir leaders know as
well as we do that these ‘people’ exist. At present we have the advan-
tage but if these (the 'People') really want to contact the human race
they will not too long on me and will probably take their to some other
part of the globe.
In closing I might say that nothing will be accomplished with you
hiding under the bed and me spoon-feeding information to ym. The security
of the country is in danger and the situation calls for direct and
positive action.
Sincerely,
. | 5 ERE Tes.

6. It is suggested that in your reply to Mr. you inform
him that the information which he reported is in the 8 of the
proper Air Force department for analysis. Mr. QQ8BBMB should also be
informed that to date the Air Force has not found any positive evidence
of the existence of interplanetary vehicles of any type; nor have any
of the phenomena or objects reported and identified proved to be any=
thing but man made items or natural phenomena, not hostile and danger-
ous except in ways which we understand and know (i.e. meteors and

Dear Mr gor
Your letter of 21 April addressed to Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base has been referred to this office to reply.
I am sure that you are avare that the U.S. Air Force is
charged with the responsibility of investipating and anm:'vzing
all cases of wmidentified flying object sightings. Further,
it is, and has been, the policy of the Air Force to inform
the public, throvgh the media of the press, all we learn in
pursuit of this program. 3
To date the Air Force has, in our investigation or many
cases, uncovered no physical evidence which would indicate the
~resence of any extm-terrestrial space vehicles and/or beings,
nor has there been any evidence that unidentified fiying cbjects
constitute any threat or danger other than the remote pousibility
of being struck by a meteorite, etc.
For ymu information, I am inclosing the latest Depariment
of Defense fact sheets on this subject. They piainiy suite the
Air Force position on this mtter.
