The Guy Hotel's Memo
The memo, dated March 22, 1950, was addressed to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover from Guy Hottel, then head of the FBI's Washington, D.C., field office.
It relayed some information from an informant concerning flying saucers.
It reads:
"An investigator for the Air Force stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico.They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots.
No further evaluation was attempted"
The file was published in April 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act.

It has been viewed nearly a million times.
It was first released publicly in the late 1970s and had been posted on the FBI website for several years prior to the launch of the Vault.
The Hottel memo is dated nearly three years after the events in Roswell in July 1947.
The FBI tried to explain the memo.
"The FBI has only occasionally been involved in investigating reports of UFOs and extraterrestrials. For a few years after the Roswell incident, Director Hoover did order his agents—the request of the Air Force—verify any UFO sightings. That practice ended in July 1950, four months after the Hottel memo, suggesting that our Washington Field Office didn't think enough of that flying saucer story to look into it."Guy Hotel's Memo
