On 27 September 1947 FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover notified USAF Maj. Gen. George C. McDonald, assistant chief of air staff, that he was advising all FBI agents to discontinue all flying disc investigations.
Background
In a letter dated 27 September 1947, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover notified USAF Maj. Gen. George C. McDonald, assistant chief of air staff, that he was advising all FBI agents to discontinue all flying disc investigations. Eberhart cites the letter itself as well as Lawrence Fawcett and Barry Greenwood's Clear Intent (p. 158) and Michael Hesemann and Philip Mantle's Beyond Roswell (p. 67). The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
