An FBI compilation of memoranda and public correspondence from 1947 details multiple reports and inquiries concerning "Flying Discs." It includes a September 11, 1947, incident in Portland, Oregon, where police, including Chief Leon V. Jenkins, observed a bright, silver object changing shape at high altitude and speed. The document also describes a July 1947 sighting near Bethel, Alaska, by pilots Jack Peck and Mr. Daly, who reported a dark, "flying wing" shaped object estimated to be the size of a C-54. Public letters to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover regarding the phenomena, with responses indicating confidential information, are also part of the record.
