Yeh -ROM : DIRECTOR; FBI DATE: August 13, 194'7 SACS NEWARK SUBJECT: FLYING DISC REPORTED AT COPIES DES 270 HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY AUGUST 3, 1947 — MISCELLANEGUS Reference is made to tne teletype from the Newark Division to the Bureau dated August 4, 1947 stating tnat a "Fiying Disc" had been reported to been seen at Hackensagk, New Jersey on August 3 last by one CHARLESWOASELIA, JR. and WILLIAMKTRUEX. CHARLES CASELIA, JK., 287 Euclid Avenue, Hackensack, upon interview by Special Agent ARTHUR F. WILLIAMS of this Division, stated that on August 3 he had been standing with WILLIAM TRUEX, a soldier stationed at Fort Dix, observing a "ham" radio rig atop a two-story house on Simons Avenue, Hackensack. It was approximately 7:45 p.m., and they were in this vicinity for the purpose of meeting TRUEX's girlfriend, one JOYCE Mc FAXLAND. TRUEX commented to CASELIA that a child had apparently lost its balloon. UASELLA looked and about a block or a halt block away noticed a round, black object moving from south to north and east of the stop where he and TRUEX were standing. CASELIA noticed that it was moving too fast to be an ordinary balloon, but he could not discern whether it was globular in form or a disc. He said it was about thirty to forty inches in diameter moving north in a hori- zontal plane about two hundred yards above the top of the hill at Summit Avenue and Simons Avenue. It proceeded at a steady rate, emitted no rays, and was moving fast enough to require them to turn their heads steadily in order to follow it. ‘TRUEX's girlfriend came out about fifteen seconds after they first sighted it. They pointed it out to her, and she said that it looked like a bird on tne horizon so small. It faded out of sight shortly thereafter. CASELLA said that a line drawn along its apparent course of flight would go from the vicinity of Bendix, New Jersey to a point west of Westwood, New Jersey. CASELLA also said that a man on the porch across tne street also noticed it and pointed it out to tne women. CASELIA said that this man seemed excited but did nothing about it. CASELLA said tnat he was positive it was no optical illusion. le was not facing into the sun and saw tne object clearly. He also said tnat ne would have thought notning of it except for tne speed at which it was traveling. \ | EXED GF . \ ¢eD abe ea) te) NOV 18 1964 Ls Letter to Bureau August 13, 1947 Miss JOYCE Mc FARLAND, 476 Simons Avenue, upon interview by Special Agent WILLIAMS, stated that the event in question occurred at about 7:30 on tne evening of Sunday, August 3. She said that she was in the house when CASELIA or TRUEX called to her. She went out immediately, and they pointed out the object in question. She saw it just before it disappeared over tne horizon, but she declared that it was in view from that time for approximately one minute. She said it was round and silver-blue in color and appeared to be revolving. She said that she did not recall making any comment that it might have been a bird and herself had no idea of wnat it could be. In view of tne distance from which she noticed it, she said tnat it could not have been more than six inches in diameter but would have been much larger ir she had been near to it. Miss Mc FAXLAND said that she had never seen anything like it before. She said that across tne street the BOOTHS, mother and daughter, were the only people sitting on tne porcn and she, herself, did not notice anyone pointing toward the opject in question. The only other person around, to her knowledge, was GLORIA TRUEX, sister of WILLIAM TRUEX, wno remained in the house and did not see the object at all. Mrs. WINFIELD S. BOOTH, 459 Simons Avenue, stated that she was on the porch on the evening in question with her mother but did not notice any unusual object in the sky nor had any man been present there to point out the onject in question. The following information was received from TRUEX through interview by Special Agent T. HOWARD WALDRON: Private WILLIAM A. TRUEX, RA 12282003, Company G, 2nd Bat- talion, 47tn Infantry Regiment, 9th Division, Fort Dix, New Jersey, advised he was born April 12, 1930 at Jersey City, New Jersey and completed eight and one half years of school. He enlisted in tne United States Army on May 29, 1947. His mother is Mrs. GRACE FIELDS of 88 Wales Avenue, River Edge, Bergen County, New Jersey. TRUEX stated that on Sunday, August 3, 1947, at 8:00 p.m, he was standing outside tne home of his girlfriend, Miss JOYCE Mc FARLAND, 4'78 Simons Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, accompanied by CHARLES CASELIA of 287 Euclid Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, who is his sister's fiance. He said tnat he and CASELLA were looking at the radio antenna on a home near the 47¢ Simons Avenue address wnen they noticed an object > : Letter to Bureau August 13, 1947 about two to three feet in diameter moving rapidly about two hundred yards off tne ground. TRUEX said he thought at first it was a child's balloon, but when he noticed there was no wind and the object had no strings to it, he decided it was sometning else. He stated the object was moving in a steady, straight path, going nortn, and he said there was no exhaust or indication of any motive power for the object. IRUEX said they observed tne object for fifteen or twenty seconds. He could not give a description of tne object's color or the materiai it was composed of but said it looked more like a large, flat child's cup than anything else he could think of, as the object was oval on the top and came to a point on the bottom side, TRUEX said tnat CASELLA stated "Maybe it's a flying saucer". He said he had never seen any- thing move through the air quite like this object, and he had no idea where it came from. TRUEX stated that neither he nor CASELIA had had anything to drink, and there was sutficient light for them to observe tne object very clearly. The "Flying Disc" was reported by CASELLA to Sergeant JAMES PERONE of the Hackensack Police Department. Sergeant PERONE advised the writer that his Department had taken no further action nor had they received reports of the object in question from any other source. It may be noted that no other Police Department in the vicinity has brought to tne attention or this Division any information regarding this matter. é.. BUREAU OF (NVESTIGATION U, &.
