FBI memoranda and correspondence compiled in July 1949 concern reports of "flying saucers." The documents detail an FBI investigation initiated after Ernest Cuneo relayed information about a UAP sighting near Los Angeles in August 1947. This incident involved Peter Cameron Jones observing "a large silver metal object shaped like a child's top about the size of a balloon" that rapidly took off, knocking him to the ground. The FBI conducted a background investigation on Jones from Washington, D.C., encountering difficulties in obtaining further information and noting internal suggestions that the report might be a "prank."
