After the 1947 Kenneth Arnold event, FBI HQ accumulated thousands of flying-saucer reports under file 62-HQ-83894 — drawn from field offices, police, military and civilian witnesses. Section 1 is the first volume and is best browsed page-by-page in the inline reader. It contains the earliest reports, HQ-to-field-office directives, and routing memos to J. Edgar Hoover.
Significance
The starting point of the FBI's official UAP filing system — and the most systematic government record of the post-war flying-disc wave.
