(TS/ORCON) In June 1947, a civilian pilot flying over the Cascade mountains of Washington State observed nine flying discs (later referred to as UFOs). The Commander, Air Force Technical Intelligence Center of the then Army Air Forces became concerned and ordered an inquiry. This was the beginning of the United States’ involvement with the UFO investigations. In 1947, an aircraft of extraterrestrial origin crashed in the desert of New Mexico. The craft was recovered by the military, four Alien (non-homo-sapiens) bodies were recovered in the wreckage. The Aliens were found to be creatures not related to human beings ([[Atch 1]]). (Editor’s note: None of the referenced attachments were included in the information [[Lee Graham]] received.)

In late 1949, another Alien aircraft crashed in the United States and was recovered partially intact by the military. One Alien of extraterrestrial origin survived the crash. The surviving Alien was male and called itself “[[EBE]]”. The Alien was thoroughly interrogated by military intelligence personnel at a base in New Mexico. The Alien’s language was translated by means of picture graphs. It was learned the Alien came from a planet in the Zeta [sic] [[Reticuli]] star system, approximately 40 light-years from Earth. [[EBE]] lived until June 18, 1952, when he died [sic] to an unexplained illness. During the time period, [[EBE]] was alive, he provided valuable information regarding space technology, origins of the Universe, and exobiological matters. Further data is contained in [[Atch 2]].
