Background
A UFO/UAP incident extracted from page 20 of 65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894_Section_1, a declassified FBI vault file released by the Department of War on May 8, 2026 as part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). The incident is dated July 11, 1947 and located in Unknown location.
What the file records
A letter inquired whether the recipients had observed unidentified “saucers.” The letter posed philosophical questions about the potential implications of these objects, suggesting a forthcoming revelation. It was sent by a group calling themselves the Combined and Amalgamated Committee of Sky-Scanners, Disc Decipherers and New-Product Introducers.
Witnesses on file: civilian observers.
Verbatim from the file
“Have you seen one of the mysterious “Saucers”?”. “What did it look like?”. “We believe one of these startling discs is onits way to you.”
Status of the case
The page-level assessment recorded in the file is: no agency assessment. All records released under the PURSUE program are designated unresolved by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office unless otherwise stated, meaning the federal government has not concluded the events were anomalous, has not concluded they were conventional, and has not ruled out either possibility. Conventional candidates for sightings of this period include experimental aircraft, weather balloons (especially the Project Mogul series), atmospheric optical phenomena, and astronomical objects.
