On July 8, 1947, the FBI Dallas Field Office sent a teletype regarding a “flying disc” that resembled a high altitude weather balloon found near Roswell, New Mexico.
我们先来看看这篇原文:

这是FBI达拉斯分局发给辛辛那提分局的一篇电文。可以看出这篇电文的主要目的是信息确认,究竟是不是飞碟?这篇电文发于八日下午6点17分,而当日早上正是罗斯维尔事件被公开的时间。当日媒体报道时使用的标题是"RAAF Captures Flying Saucer",这里的主语是RAAF(Roswell空军)而不是Farmer之类的普通民众,这足以说明Flying Saucer的说法是经过军方确认的。之后,美空军第八军司令部某指挥官电告FBI达拉斯分局并“建议”所发现的残骸应为带着雷达的高空探测气球(美空军第八军为战略空军部署,所以这个理由似乎是可以说的通的,所谓disc实际上是雷达接收器)。但实际上FBI自己是不相信的,不仅多次提到气球的说法只是"resemble",并在电文中提到"telephonic conversation between their office and Wright Field had not XXXX borne out this belief.” 这句话的中间其实是有一个副词的,但被FBI涂黑了,猜想应当是形容气球的说法是如何的不靠谱(注:这里的office应当是主管此次事件的空军第八军司令部,Wright Field则是处理并检测事故残骸的另一空军基地)。重点还是在提到的这份"telephonic conversation",可以肯定的是FBI既然能质疑气球的说法,必然是持有这份电报记录的,但是暂且还没有公开。电文中还提到,须将“圆盘”与气球一同运到Wright Field接受检测,所以应当可以确定目击到的圆盘是存在的。
可以确定,FBI在这份解密文件中并没有承认什么外星人!关于Guy Hottel的另一份备忘录文件是否与Roswell事件相关还有待考证。
