The 'Guy Hottel' memo and the crashed flying saucers of New Mexico, March 22, 1950

Background

The following memorandum was first released by the FBI in the 1970s, but did not gain notoriety until much later.

It was written by a Special Agent of the FBI by the name of Guy Hottel, who addressed the memo to the Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. Within, Hottel describes information from an Air Force investigator, in which three “flying saucers” had been recovered in New Mexico. In addition, each saucer was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in a metallic cloth.

According to the informant (see update below for identity), the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government had “a very high-powered radar setup in the area.”

The FBI never followed up, according to them, and in their own words they call the memorandum a “mystery.”

See below for the document and for additional information posted by the FBI.

UPDATE August 2022

In August of 2022, The Black Vault finally received the full “Hottel Memo” without redactions. FOIA Case 1555167-000 was filed on August 2, 2022, and although the FBI denied my request for “expedited processing”, their release of the record came within a week.

On August 8, 2022, the “Hottel Memo” was released in full. Although the standard boilerplate language in the FOIA letter states the information was “pre-processed” – there is no indication online, or in published articles, the complete memorandum was ever published, unredacted.

In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the U.S. Government at the young age of fifteen. He targeted such groups as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to thousands of records. He accumulated an astonishing number of documents on topics related to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top secret aircraft. Time elapsed, and Greenewald's online archive became known globally as "The Black Vault." His teenage project turned into the largest private online collection anywhere in the world, totaling nearly 1.5 million pages of material. At the age of twenty-one, Greenewald published his first book, Beyond UFO Secrecy, in 2002. It was later put into a second expanded edition, and was re-published by Galde Press in January, 2008.
