Dr. William Albert Rhodes reported photographing a flying disc in Phoenix on July 7, 1947. The FBI accepted negatives from Rhodes on August 30, 1947, with his understanding they would be transmitted to Army Air Force Intelligence at Hamilton Field, California, with little chance of return.
“Bureau files reflect that on August 29, 1947, a Mr. George Fugate, Jr., called at the Phoenix Office exhibiting credentials reflecting he represented A-2, Fourth Air Force, Hamilton Field, California. He asked an Agent to accompany him to interview William Rhodes who previously reported the photographing of a flying disc in Phoenix on the afternoon of July 7, 1947.”
