I agree with the OP, but why is Guy Hottel's memo on the FBI's website. Why is it singled out, and not clumped in with all the 100's of pages of UFO reports in the UFO section?
and certainly the case is new to me ,but then I am not a ufo expert. Your thread is fascinating and its why I put
The bureau has made thousands of files available in a new online resource called The Vault.
Among them is a memo to the director from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950.

because theses thing invariably turn out to be false a hoax or a misunderstanding. I am certainly not somebody who blindly believes everything if anything I read. However this story was of great interest and I knew others would be very interested and would make up their own minds on whether it was true or not. You in my mind have proved beyond doubt that the memo is true but unfortunately the cases it speaks of is a hoax. Altogether a fascinating case that only goes to highlight how complex these type of things are and to question everything. Well done great job
( if true).

I wish I could star all these posts TWICE. I was already ignoring all these threads and had not been at ATS as much because of the absolute INSANITY and IGNORANCE surrounding this particular thing.
Please explain next how Japan is probably not sinking into the ocean, but does, in fact, have BROKEN WATER MAINS!!!!
Thanks for putting this together -

Fantastic job in debunking my thread about the memo. www.abovetopsecret.com...
I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the " Just released" part of my thread title that may have been a little artistic licence on my part however the memo was part of a batch of documents that have just been made available ( as far as I am aware)

There is definitely some psychological phenomenon going on though you may have a better understanding of it than me. I'd say it involves things like selective memory and interpretation, confirmation bias, and a desire to believe, sometimes but not always bordering on having religious fervor.

Good job Isaac and hopefully, thanks to this comprehensive thread, the misunderstanding about the Hottel memo won't occur again in another few years (like it seems to have a tendency of doing)
as I'm sure you're well aware, there are many other government documents in the public domain which certainly contain very intriguing information about the UFO subject -maybe we'd all be better off if everybody (including the corporate media) concentrated their efforts on those:

So you still believe that this memo is "just released", as stated in other threads here and on various other websites (including of several newspapers)? Or do you accept at least that claim has been debunked?

You are basing your argument on William Moore's spurious argument. He never made the connection to Silas.

I am much more inclined to believe Whitley Streiber who also investigated this memo and believes it to be real.
