The government's description
The FBI's 62-HQ-83894 case file includes investigative records, eyewitness testimonies, and public reports concerning Unidentified Flying Objects and flying discs documented between June 1947 and July 1968. The records include high-profile incident accounts, photographic evidence from sites like Oak Ridge, TN, and technical proposals regarding potential propulsion systems. Additional topics include convention programs, researcher accounts, and extensive media coverage from the period. This file is partially posted on FBI vault with more redactions and some pages missing. Included here is the complete case file with several newly declassified pages and only minor redactions.

" I MIClJEL ANGEL GARCIA MACIAS Pianist Composer Discoverer and Ideographic Inventor No. 324 Pino Suarez Avenue VERACRUZ, Veracruz Veracruz, Veracruz March 19, 1950 To the President of the Commission of Scientific Investigation of the United States of North America New York Dear Mr. President, This is to greet you and at the same time to bring to your knowledge the STUDIES which I permit mys~lf to send to that Honorable Commission of Scientific Investigation, because I believe that it is my duty to make them available for the deep consideration of that commission over which you so worthily preside. This deals with stratospheric aerostats (?) ➔~ or Flyin~ saucers as people commonly call them, and which I believe your great Nation, making use of ATOMIC force, possesses. Before giving an exposition of my IDEA, I want you to know of the Inventions which I have thought up by means of my S'l"'JDIES as an IDEDGRAPHIC Inventor, aoo which have been REGISTERED and PAT'ENTED by other persons whom I do not know and which are the following: "GOTE-GRADUNS" (DROP GRADUATION'?) The 11 Gote-Graduns" was originated when I was making studies on Atmospheric Graduations of the F,arth and one afternoon it occurred to me to graduate a Dropper. The experiment did not cause ITM:! a great deal of work since I was able to graduate it with ease, but the PLANS of my IDEA were stolen from me and patented in your Nation. , -~ ~ r.::1 • NEW < .- Q\ "AUTOMATIC SHOVEIS" for Dump-Trucks (or Concrete-Mixers)il-il-ll APR 7 ljo ; _. - \ The Automatic Shovels originated when a party of Workers w~ trying to fill a Dump-Truck in front of the Custom House of the Port. I took my watch and I llas able to prove that the workers took a long time to fill the truck since it took almost an hour and a half of continuous work . Then I thought that the same Truck equipped with an Automatic Shovel could do the same work in less time. I set about drawing up the plans and I sent tihem_.t ·o Mexico to the Secretary of National Economy. The plans remained there . ___,.. .,, -- .. -~~-/ · -* ,,. se words are written "aereo-astactos extratofericos".

I have retained them in the translation. 11 Camiones de volteo'1 , literally, "trucks for turning over or revolving".

- 2 - for eight months. After that time, and after I had paid all my fees as an Inventor of the said Apparatus, I received a reply stating that the said Patent had already been given to another person whose identity I do not know. "ROOM:> FOR MF:ASURING OPTICS" for the Examination of vision. I have this study in my possession and have not REGISTERED it since I need to prove soiM things in order to be able to put it into effect. "THE GP.ADUAL CENTIMETRIC MUSIC OF THE FUTURE" or the discovery of Sound (15) composed for PIA.NOMETRICS, PHONOMETRICS, CENTIMETRICS and DISCOPHONOMETRICS. I have finished this Study and the plans are in the TOWN U BF.ARY of this Port, as well as the Autophonics and the Euphonies of Alphabetic Letters. The 11FERRCYI'ACTOMETER and the FERROCEMACTOMETER" to eliminate Railway collisions from a DISTANCE at Road crossings. I extended this IDEOGRAPHIC TNVENTION to eliminate automobile collisions on Roads, but since I do not have money I was not able to put it in PRACTICE nor to have it REGISTERED. "EX(JJINOCIS" (?) of graduation, time and distance, in order to determine the distribution and division of TIME on CLOCKS of the whole World . This drawing is in the Town Library of this Port. Description of the STAfilUTY of SURFACE and the SUPERMEDIA (?) in order to prevent the sinking of big Transatlantic liners, guaranteeing the lives and interests of persons who travel, like those of Navigation Companies of the whole World. The graduation and Illumination of the Wharves which load large quantities of combustible materials, in order to eliminate accidents on the Wharves during the loading and unloading of the same. Study of the MULTIPLES and the SUBMULTIPLES of Mechanized gears. This study is correlated with Music since it deals with Universal mechanical gearing or the gradual Centimetric Music of the Future. "STRATOSPHERIC AEROSTATS 11 In this study enters Global Stability which the Globe has and Semi-Glotal Stability which the Parachute has. Uniting the two STABIUTIES into one, we find the superior Stability or the SUPER-STABIUTY of bcxiies in Air or space. These apparatuses can be used in order to avoid Atomic Explosion on the Farth, since the velocity is Greater than that of Light or Sound in accordance with the quantity of Atomic Material. which is used in their fabrication. These apparatuses can be thrown from the ground or from

- 3 the Water since the Conic-Global or Global-Conic form permits it. The force that the said apparatus can develop can be compared only with THOUGHT since this has no barriers on the earth such as mountains and clouds in Space. This apparatus can be used for the Study of the Stars. This force is applied by means of stratospheric skyrockets placed at the top or sides of this apparatus using Nuclear-Atomic force. I hope that my idea is studied and approved by the said Commission and may serve for the Progress of the Universe instead of its DFBTRUCTION, and for the good of all of us human beings who inhabit the F.arth. My description is IDEOGRAPHIC, but I believe that it will be a grain of sand which will help the SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION of that big Nation.

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS CF A "FLYING SAUCER", OBTAINED IN DURANGO AT AN
ALTI'!UDE OF 9000 FEET
(Caption under photographs)
Mr. German Horacio\aobles Jr., student at the National School of
Engineering, is one of the th\usands of persons who have seen "with their
own eyes" the flying saucers or disks which have become the general topic of
commentaries and have given rise to the most varied hypotheses. fut at the
same time the young man himself is the first to have photographed those
strange apparatuses. He observed one of them and was able to take its
picture against the skies of the city of Durango . 1. Picture of the "flying
saucer" at an altitude of 8000 to 9000 feet above the streets of Durango.
The apparatus seems to be a double truncated cone, joined at its bases which
moves by something like jet propulsion and which displaces itself by changing
position in order to use its motive force in the direction desired, for which
reason it can be seen under apparently different forms. 2. Conception of
Mr. Robles Jr., concerning the real form of the strange mechanical objects
drawn by him. 3. Another aspect of the flying saucer. 4. The future civil
engineer, Horacio\I<obles Jr. sketched in our editorial offices after having
reported his obser~tions on the flying disk and after having handed over
the pictures of this apparatus which he had obtained.
