FBI Correspondence Regarding UAP Sighting at Savannah River Plant and Public Flying Saucer Inquiries, August 1952

Description

FBI correspondence from August 1952 details a UAP sighting at the Savannah River Plant and the agency's process for handling public inquiries about 'flying saucers.' The document includes an account of two du Pont employees witnessing a 'blue light with an orange fringe shaped like a saucer' over the plant's Four Hundred Area on August 8, 1952. FBI Director John Edgar Hoover is noted for forwarding these public inquiries to the Department of the Air Force. A translated anonymous German communication, also dated August 8, 1952, speculates on 'flying saucers' as a Soviet V-weapon, providing a description of its supposed design.
