Naval Intelligence during wa r. It is believed that information was obtainedfrom source in Congress who is close to Secretary for Air Force.

11. As to the bodies recovered at LZ-2 , it appeared that noneof the five crew members survived entry into our atmosphere due tounknown caus es.DR.DETLE V BRONK has been asked to assist in the autopsyof one well preserved cadaver to be done by MAJOR. CHARLES K. REA. Fromwhat descriptions the team was able to learn and from photographs takenby intelligence photographers, the occupants appear in most respectshuman with/some anatomical differences/in the head, eyes, hands and feetThey have a slight build about five feet tall, with grayish-pink skincolor. They have no hair on their bodies and clothed with a tight fittingflight suit that appears to be fire proof (some of the bodies lookedas if they had been burned on head and and h a n d ) . Their overall staturereminds, one of young children. It is believed that there were male andfemale genders present, but was hard to distinguish.

12. The most disturbing aspect of this investigation was-there were other bodies found not far from LZ-1 that looked as if theyhad been disected as you would A frog. It is not known if army fieldsurgeons had performed exploratory surgery on these bodies. Animal parts

were reportedly discovered inside the craft at LZ-2 but this cannot beconfirmed. The team has reserved judgement on this issue.

13. Our assessment of this investigation rests on twoassumptions: 1) Either this discovery was an elaborate and well orchestratedhoax (maybe by the Russians), or; 2.) Our country has played host to

beings from another planet.14. Until more data can be acquired from other intelligence

sources, it is the opinion of the team, that the investigation be expandedto include sources that might elucidate other possibilities not found bycontemporary science. It is also recommended that appropriate budgets beallocated to facilitate future assignments that the unit may be calledupon to perform. Until further orders, this investigation will continue.
