呈送局長和辛辛那提分局 緊急
關系到飛碟的事項.XXXX 指揮部
第八航空隊用電話向本辦公室報告,就在今天,壹個被認為是飛碟的物體出現在了新墨西哥州的羅斯威爾(Roswell)附近。
這個碟形物體的外觀是六邊形的,被壹根電纜懸掛在壹個氣球上,這個氣球的直徑大概是20英尺左右。XXX進壹步解釋說,這個物體被發現位於與氣象探空氣球類似的高度,並帶有壹個雷達波反射器,但聯系之後表明,沒有他們的下屬機構或者是這種氣球的制造商釋放過這個氣球。
氣球和這個碟形物體都已經被專機轉送到制造商那裏,以作進壹步的檢查來提供更多的信息,因為這是壹件關系到國家利益的案子。XXX和全國廣播公司(NBC)及其附屬媒體以及其他幾家媒體等等,今天都嘗試了報導此事。
XXX認為,應該要求制造商將檢查的結果匯報給辛辛那提分局。目前尚未開展進壹步的調查行動。
