Only this week the FBI launched an online archive, named 'The Vault', consisting of a number of documents deemed as being of interest to the public. Amongst the 2000 or so documents that make up the archive, a memo, written by the Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office to the FBI Director on March 22, 1950 (see image below), was found, stating the following:
"An investigator for the Air Force stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.
According to Mr. (redacted) informant, the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers. No further evaluation was attempted by SA (redacted) concerning the above."

As some-one previously cynical of the Roswell UFO crash account, this, for me at least, changes the game in a big way. Firstly, the wording is hardly ambiguous: The memo clearly refers to crashed flying saucers. More importantly, small beings are mentioned along with their exotic attire: A first as far as verified documents dating back to not long after the event are concerned.
In short this document confirms that the Government was aware of details relating to the incident, during that era, that only became otherwise known via witness testimony to UFO researchers at much later date. No wonder in 1952 President Truman acknowledged the reality of UFOs in the manner seen in the video below the memo.
Of most interest, perhaps, is the manner in which the memo has come to light: Many UFO researchers will be questioning if this really was a slip-up by an archivist. Many will undoubtedly suspect that the entire purpose of 'The Vault' being uploaded online was for the public to 'find' this document.
Sources within the government have informed this publication that a 'soft' or 'back-handed' UFO disclosure is the strategy the US heads of intelligence have chosen rather than a big statement that leaves the public dazed. This new evidence is remarkable and seems like a hint dropped on the road to open contact.
