PURSUE Release 01: 342_HS1-416511228_319.1 Flying Discs 1949

  1949 Flying-Disc File

342_HS1-416511228_319.1 Flying Discs 1949 is a Department of War PDF released in PURSUE Release 01. The release metadata describes it as a file of UFO incident reports prepared under the 1948 Flight Service Regulation 200-4.¹

  Kansas City And Olathe Sightings

The record is best read as a reporting packet rather than a single narrative. The opening memorandum forwards a Lowry Flight Service Center report about two spherical objects seen over Kansas City and Olathe.²

  Early Reporting Channels

This file matters for provenance. It shows how early flying-disc reports moved through administrative reporting channels before later public interpretation attached broader meanings to them. Its value is not that the record resolves the sightings, but that it preserves how official personnel collected, described, and transmitted them at the time.¹²
