making any statement to the press other than
to admit possession of an object and that it was being turned over to
military authorities in the morning (this AM), it being Mr. Hood's
opinion that he did not want any quotes in the press and certainly not
one to the effect that we were not interested.

As described to him, Mr. Hood stated that the object was an aluminum
disc about 2' in diameter weighing about ten pounds, painted with
aluminum paint and having some sort of a radio tube in the center of
the disc. This object was in possession of the resident agent at
Burbank and would be turned over to military authorities (G-2) in Los
Angeles this morning.

Mr. Hood's purpose in calling was to place the Bureau on notice
regarding the above described object and any further information would
be transmitted to the Bureau at once.

Action: None indicated.
