Larry Bryant asked the FBI to investigate a report of a craft that landed after a chase. According to the account, someone got out, walked around, and climbed back inside.
Bryant learned about the story through a US Army document. He wrote to the FBI asking it to look for additional records. The bureau replied that it had no information about the incident. That left a story of a landing and a chase, with no clear answer about what happened.
A Chase, a Landing, and Someone Who Got Out to Walk Around
In a 1974 letter, Bryant wrote that he had received a copy of an Army report from the Office of the US Air Force. The report described an alleged incident on April 8, 1954. According to the account, members of the US Coast Guard, a force that assists at sea, pursued an unidentified craft.
The craft landed briefly. One of its occupants got out, walked around briefly, then climbed back in. At least three civilians saw the craft before it left. The report does not say exactly where it landed or what happened during the chase.
How the Document Reached the FBI
Bryant wrote that the copy he received was an Army report. The report’s distribution list also included the FBI’s Chicago office, so he contacted the bureau.
He requested copies of any records about actions the FBI had taken in response to the incident. He also asked whether the bureau had documents about reports of unidentified aircraft from that year. The letter shows what Bryant wanted to investigate, but adds no details about the landing itself.
What Remains Unknown
The FBI replied that it had no information about the case and did not collect information on such reports. It remains unknown whether the incident happened as described, what the craft was, or exactly where it landed.
According to the report, three witnesses saw the craft leave. After that, all that remained was Bryant’s letter seeking to trace what happened.
