On August 9, 1952, the FBI Savannah field office sent an urgent teletype to Director Hoover reporting that two employees of E. I. Du Pont Company saw a blue light with an orange fringe shaped like a saucer fly over the Four Hundred Area of the Savannah River Plant AEC facility at approximately 9:30 PM on August 8. Between August 11 and August 20, 1952, Hoover forwarded letters from multiple citizens about flying saucers and flying disks to the Director of Special Investigations, The Inspector General, Department of the Air Force.
