The Federal Bureau of Investigation came clean on a 63-year-old memo regarding a UFO sighting. The letter pertained to a spotting of a UFO and possible aliens inside of it, who stood 3 feet tall.

The letter was about a reported discovery of a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. This famous discovery caused the media to question whether or not the FBI was hiding the discovery of aliens.The question of whether or not there are aliens out there was recently addressed by the FBI.

The one-page memo, dated March 22, 1950, was addressed to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover from Guy Hottel, then head of the FBI's Washington, D.C. field office. It relayed some information from an informant, Examiner reported.

The subject:

FLYING SAUCERS

INFORMATION CONCERNING

"An investigator for the Air Force stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico," Hottel writes. "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 3 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 fliers and test pilots."

No further evulation was attempted, Hottel said.

The FBI released its own statement, coming clean on Sunday, March 24, 2013 about the story that is the single most popular file in their various records released under the Freedom of Information Act, Examiner reported. The file reportedly had been viewed over a million times.

The informant claimed that the saucers had been found because the government's "high-powered radar" in the area had interfered with "the controlling mechanism of the saucers."

The FBI said in the statement that they have only occasionally been involved with any investigations of UFO and extraterrestrials sightings, and this particular memo is not new. It was first released publicly in the late 1970s.

There is no connection to the infamous events of July 1947 in Roswell. The FBI said that the "Hottel memo is dated nearly three years after" that.

"For a few years after the Roswell incident, Director Hoover did order his agents-at the request of the Air Force-to verify any UFO sightings. That practice ended in July 1950, four months after the Hottel memo, suggesting that our Washington Field Office didn't think enough of that flying saucer story to look into it," the statement from the FBI read.

"Finally, the Hottel memo does not prove the existence of UFOs; it is simply a second- or third-hand claim that we never investigated. Some people believe the memo repeats a hoax that was circulating at that time, but the Bureau's files have no information to verify that theory."
