Question

Which record includes F. M. Johnson, a prospector from Portland, describing flying discs in the Ft. Adams district on June 24, 1947?

Generated answer

The F. M. Johnson account is found in FBI Case File 62-HQ-83894, Section 3. On August 25, 1947, Lt. Col. Donald L. Springer of Headquarters Fourth Air Force, A-2 Intelligence, Hamilton Field, forwarded to the FBI SAC in San Francisco a true copy of a letter written by F. M. Johnson from Portland, Oregon on August 20, 1947 [62-HQ-83894/4ef42b10-04a3-4e92-9e2a-1f33f5f6b35e]. In that letter, Johnson identified himself as a prospector and stated he was in the Ft. Adams district on June 24, 1947, the same date as the Kenneth Arnold sighting. The forwarding memo from Springer noted the similarity between Arnold's earlier report and Johnson's account, and also raised the possibility that Johnson may have read about Arnold's sighting in the newspapers. Springer stated that his headquarters did not intend to investigate the incident and requested that the FBI furnish results of any interview it might conduct [62-HQ-83894/4ef42b10-04a3-4e92-9e2a-1f33f5f6b35e]. The serial assigned to this document within the file is 62-83894-101 [62-HQ-83894/4ef42b10-04a3-4e92-9e2a-1f33f5f6b35e].
