👽 PENTAGON CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS 2026 (PART 11)
We continue to analyze confidential documents from the Pentagon. This declassified document contains the following information.
➡️ 1. Organizational Changes and Positions of Authorities
Official Closure of the United States Air Force Project (December 1949): In response to a request from the Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, in March 1950, representatives from the Air Force Intelligence (Major Boggs and Lieutenant Colonel Hern) reported that the project studying "flying saucers" had been officially closed at the end of 1949. The reason: after two years of investigation, more than 3/4 of all reports turned out to be misidentifications of common objects (weather balloons, aircraft, optical illusions). The United States Air Force no longer conducts active investigations, although reports continue to be collected.
FBI Policy (October 1947 - March 1950): The FBI stopped investigating all UFO cases in October 1947. All reports received were to be forwarded to the United States Air Force. The Bureau acts only as an "observer" and transmits the information to the military.
Confusion with Instructions (February-September 1948): In 1948, there was confusion. The United States Air Force issued new instructions that contradicted the FBI bulletin. The United States Air Defense Command demanded that the FBI not only transmit the cases, but also coordinate investigations with the United States Air Force. The Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, confirmed that the FBI's policy had not changed: the Bureau does not deal with UFOs.
➡️ 2. Revelations of Jokes and Forgeries
"UFO" in the Mojave Desert (December 1948): A mechanic, Lonnie Noak, reported the discovery of a "flying saucer" in California. The investigation revealed that it was an experimental towed target aircraft, manufactured by the Olson and Rice Manufacturing Company. The target crashed during testing and was abandoned. Henry Rice (owner of the company) identified the parts.
"UFO" in Alice, Texas (July 4, 1950): The Alice police reported the discovery of a disc with the inscription "X-147 A" and "DO NOT TOUCH." The object turned out to be a welded structure made of two parts of aircraft wings, manufactured by a group of mechanics at the airport.
"UFO" in Elmira, New York (April 1950): The "landed saucer" turned out to be a corrugated cardboard box, painted with aluminum paint, with a radio lamp. No one saw the structure fly.
Photograph in Louisville, Kentucky (June 1950): The photographer Al Hixenbaugh published a photo of a "flying saucer." His colleagues stated that it was a forgery. It was noted that the object in the photo is sharp, while the trees and the plane are blurry, indicating that the object was close to the camera. Hixenbaugh had previously been involved in similar pranks.
➡️ 3. Search for the Author of the Letter
Content of the Letter: The journalist Ernest Kueo informed the FBI about a letter from Walter Winchell from a certain Peter Cameron Jones of Los Angeles. Jones claimed that in 1947 he had seen in the mountains an object resembling a "toy top" that "took off in a second" and that he believed it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
FBI Investigation: Agents were unable to find Jones at the address provided. The current owner and former manager of the building did not know that person.
Conclusion: The Bureau concluded that the letter was likely a joke. The Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, personally wrote to Winchell, informing him of the lack of results in the search.
