Subject: FLYING DISKS REPORTEDLY SEEN
IN VICINITY OF SAVANNAH RIVER PLANT
ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION
The Savannah Office of this Bureau has been
informed that at approximately 10:45 p. M., May 10 1952,
four employees of the DuPont Company employed in the Savannah
River Plant near Ellenton, South Carolina saw four disk shaped
objects approaching "the four hundred area" from the south
which disappeared in a northerly direction. At approximately
11:10 p. M. A similar object was seen by these employees
approaching form the northeast and disappearing in a
southwesterly direction. A similar object was also sighted
about 11:15 p. m. traveling from south to north by the same
employees.
The disks were described by the above-mentioned
employees as being approximately fifteen inches in diameter and
yellow to gold in color. All of the objects were allegedly
traveling at a high rate of speed and at a high altitude without
any noise. The disk shaped object referred to above which
approached "the four hundred area" from a northeasterly direction
was reportedly traveling at such a low altitude it had to rise to
pass over some tall tanks which are in "the four hundred area."
The employee referred to above advised the objects were weaving
form left to right but seemed to hold a general course. According
to these persons because of the speed at which the objects were
traveling they were only visible for a few seconds.
The above data, which was previous furnished
to your office through this Bureau's liaison representative, is
being furnished for your information and any action you desire
to take in this matter. No investigation is being conducted by
this Bureau.
