He advised thet they have also been able to obtain the following information: 1. That a very severe tidal wave will hit the Pacific Ocean sometime in the not too remote future and that most of the Japanese Islands will be washed away end disappear, 2. That all fishes with scales in Japanese waters will soon leave these waters for other destina- tions, in view of the oncoming tidal wave. 3. That this tidal wave will wash away the Hawaiian Islands. lh. Thet the West Coast of the United States will likewise be affected by this tidal wave. S.

Mr. OHM requested that either I myself attend the meeting at 1:00 PM or that I designate a stenographer to attend the meeting, so that she could take down all the minutes of the meeting. I told him that unfortwmately this was very short notice, that I had another commitment and that our stenographers were pretty well occupied at that time. He said he would advise me of anything important that might transpire at the meeting. As of August 2, 1952, he has not advised me of anything which © transpired at the meeting.

HARBO [\< parr: August 29, 1952 FROM: D. J. PARSON ee Pla ron SUBJECT: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJEC cieen__ ALLEGEDLY CITED BY MR. D. SXDESVERGERS, “ea noe WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA By letter of August 26, 1952, the Air Force requested that we examine the cap of Mr. Desvergers, a scoutmaster at West Palm Beach, Florida, who claims that he observed a unidentified flying object in a desolate area, He report Geubaary that upon his investigation, a MBB object 30 feet in diam ter — hovered over his head and shot a "red blob” which ouusede a aets lose consciousness. The cap has some holes burned in tt and rf is reported that the hair on Desvergers' arms was singed. The Air Force requested that we determine, tf possible, from any residues left the nature of the residual material. The Air Force desires an oral report on this tonight. We have finished the eramination and are preparing to advise the Air Force as follows: 1. There is no residue which would permit a determination as to the nature of the material which caused the burns in the cap. In addition to the obvious burns, there is one minute burned area which is probably too small to have been caused intentionally but more likely by a@ small hot ember, 2. The bill and a large part of the edges of the cap are singed but the singeing is not uniform as would be expected if it had been caused at one time by a single flash of flame, The front edge of the cap bill is more severely singed than other portions of the cap, This condition would not be expected if the source of the flame was directly overhead, 3. When the cap is observed from the front, the left edge of the insignia and the fold in the blue cloth, there is an absence of singeing noted under the fold suggesting the possibility that the cap was not being worn when the singeing took place. It is noted that this fold "smooths out” when the cap is placed on the head, RECOMMENDATION: That in response to the request, of Colonel Free jof the Air Force, it is recommended that he be ‘orally advised of the above. 7?
