The FBI maintained an active 62-HQ-83894 case file on flying discs from June 1947 through July 1968, treating them as a formal investigative matter for 21 years.
The file aggregates eyewitness reports, photographic evidence, technical propulsion proposals, and press coverage, suggesting institutional confidence in the phenomenon's materiality. This is not speculation or a fringe interest; it is a headquarters-level docket with sustained bureaucratic overhead.
