From The F.B.I : Vault – Incident File #2 – Guy Hottel

The saucers 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 three 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.

Paranormics wishes to be able to provide a conduit to Ufology for newcomers to this field. Many times when you are talking/debating with a UFO skeptic one of the first things out of their mouths is where’s the proof? Show me something real, something from a reputable, established, respected, and most of all connected source. Most of the time providing that kind of evidence on demand is hard to do. Making your discussion difficult to sway in your favour under the scrutiny of bare scepticism. Youtube.com videos are just not going cut through that kind of resistance.

Some people will just plain old never believe that we are not alone in the Universe. A UFO could land on their house , vaporize the dog, eat their Rhododendrons, and abduct them and still… nothing. It just is not a possibility for them to believe. It must shake their believe systems too much for comfort. But for the rest of the people, the more rational in the crowd. There is just one source you should point them too. It covers all the bases that the rational sceptic will appreciate.

The source of this thoroughly vetted material is from the United States Federal Government’s own Federal Bureau of Investigations. You remember them, Mulder and Scully worked for them. Yes that F.B.I.

They call it the VAULT .

Notice the official domain name : fbi.gov, the vault is just a subsection from the official domain.

 The F.B.I describes it as follows:

“The Vault” is our new electronic reading room, featuring 6,700 files and other media which were scanned into digital copies from paper in order to read these at your convenience in your home or office. Contained here are many of the records formerly posted on our site but removed as requests diminished; files from our previous electronic reading room, and new, previously unreleased files. Please note: the content of the files in the Vault encompasses all time periods of Bureau history and do not always reflect the current views, policies, and priorities of the FBI. New files will be added on a regular basis, so please check back often.

From The F.B.I : Vault – Incident Files –  The Story of Guy Hottel

Guy L. Hottel was born around 1902. He was a graduate of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he was a star football player. He was later inducted into the university’s athletic hall of fame. He entered the FBI as a special agent in 1934. In December 1936, he was named acting head of the FBI’s Washington Field Office; he was appointed special agent in charge the following May and served until March 1941. Hottel was re-appointed special agent in charge in February 1943 and served until 1951, when he took a position in the Identification Division. He retired in 1955. Hottel was married three times and had two sons. Following his FBI career, Hottel served as executive secretary of the Horseman’s Benevolent Association. He died in June 1990.

In 1950, the FBI told Director J. Edgar Hoover that three large flying saucers containing alien cosmonauts were recovered in New Mexico. The FBI has finally explained the memo about the saucer sent to Hoover — and, however inadvertently, provided a clinic in how to assess a secret intelligence report.

The information concerning Mr. Hottel is in regard to a March 22, 1950 memo he sent to the FBI Director concerning flying saucers. Like all memos to FBI Headquarters at that time, it was addressed to Manager J. Edgar Hoover and recorded and indexed in FBI records. The topic of the memo was anything but ordinary. It related a story told to one of our representatives by a third party who said an Air Force researcher had reported that three “flying saucers” were recovered in New Mexico. After relaying an informant’s claim the saucers were discovered since the government’s “high-powered radar” in the place had interfered with “the commanding mechanism of the saucers,” the memo ends simply by saying that “[n]o additional evaluation was attempted” concerning the issue by the FBI agent.

You can see why the FBI would feel the need to put this in context. “An investigator from the Air Force reported that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico,” Hottel wrote Hoover on March 22, 1950. “They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 meters in diameter.” Inside were Jawa-like creatures, “three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture,” which Hottel’s source analogized to test pilot blackout suits. And according to Hottel’s “informant,” whose name is blacked out, high-powered government radar arrays in New Mexico are “believed [to interfere] with the controlling mechanism of the saucers.”

So what’s the real story? A few facts to keep in mind:

First, the Hottel memo isn’t new. 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.

Second, the Hottel memo is dated nearly three years after the infamous events in Roswell in July 1947. There is no reason to believe the two are connected. The FBI file on Roswell (another popular page) is posted elsewhere on the Vault.

Third, as noted in an earlier story, 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—at the request of the Air Force—to 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.

Finally, the Hottel memo does not prove the existence of UFOs; it is simply a second- or third-hand claim that we never investigated. Some people believe the memo repeats a hoax that was circulating at that time, but the Bureau’s files have no information to verify that theory.

Go on believing in UFOs if that’s your thing. You have just as much reason to do so after reading Hottel’s memo, since it doesn’t refute the existence of the downed saucers. Just remember that intelligence reports that seem like smoking guns are usually more smoke than gun.
