Generated answer

The Raymond Edward Lane incident is documented in FBI Case File 62-HQ-83894, Section 2, titled "Flying Disc Sighting Reports and Investigations, Summer 1947." The record describes how on July 9, 1947, Lane, a Dow Chemical Company employee, and his wife Laura reported hearing a puff noise and seeing a ball of white about the size of a bushel basket burning a foot off the ground in a Dow-owned field in Midland, Michigan [62-HQ-83894/0ed73dbf-4f1d-43ba-a3e5-29660c4b75bf]. Lane brought the recovered material to the Dow Physics Laboratory the next day. Laboratory examination found ordinary sand, a small silver nugget, melted sand droplets giving off an ammonia odor, and a grayish radioactive material. The FBI Detroit Division reported the incident to the Director on August 5, 1947, and recommended forwarding the material to the War Department [62-HQ-83894/0ed73dbf-4f1d-43ba-a3e5-29660c4b75bf]. An internal memorandum dated August 8, 1947, from J. P. Coyne to Mr. Ladd, subject line "Raymond Edward Lane, Mrs. Laura Lane - Informants; Flying Disc," recommended that the material be personally delivered by the Liaison Section to the appropriate contact in the War Department [62-HQ-83894/0ed73dbf-4f1d-43ba-a3e5-29660c4b75bf].
