In July and August 1954, the FBI Cincinnati Field Office and Washington Field Office documented reports from civilian informant Thomas Eickhoff concerning flying saucer lecturers Truman Bethurum and George Hunt Williamson, and from Navy Security Officer John Hutson concerning Frances Swan's claimed thought transmission contact with beings designated "AFFA" and "PONNAR," commanders of ships M-4 and L-11. Eickhoff reported attending a luncheon at the Terrace Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati on June 7, 1954, where Bethurum and Williamson stated their story was factual and consented to government scrutiny.
