It \'tas referred to in Frank Scully's bool~ "Behind !Flying Saucers" (Chapter 12, p. 11=-7; copyriGht 1950). This report tells of a saucer-shaped vehic le(netallic) ,.rbi ch evident3lly crashed there. It was a1 so stoted tln t 16 corpses (each aprox. J f11. in heicht) v:ere fotmd uithin. The '\'thole operation 't'Tas surveyed by the U.s. A:lr Force, I understand, but it never mentioned \-rha.t becsne of the craft or its dead occupants. I ~ very interested in this CG sa and would lil-\:e to hnO\'T mere a bout it: ,.,hat be cone c t.he vehicle and the bodies, and w'hc.t conclua5.ons rrere dravm by the Air Force officials that studied it.
