Only this week the FBI launched an online archive, named 'The Vault', of a number of documents deemed as being of interest to members of the public. Amongst the 2000 or so documents that make up the archive a memo (see image below) was found, written by the Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office to the FBI Director on March 22 1950, stating the following:
"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 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 flyers and test pilots.
