Mr. Connelley said that he has by ail means made perfectly ‘clear to all parties concerned down there the exact position of the Bureau. I told him you wanted the Captain to know with reference to his indication he might went the Bureau to make the search of the field THAT, of course, the Bureau could not conduct each investigation at the request of a Congressional Committee; that if the Captain himself had some interest in the metter,we perhaps would take a different attitule towards the situation and would give it consideration. I mentioned to Mr. Connelley that while the office was at Trenton, we conducted some kind of an investigetion or received complaints that - people in that vicinity were taking shots at the various blimps and dirigibles around there, and that I recalled the shots were probably coming from fishing boats out on the sea. Mr. Connelley said that while he did not see the actual ship, he understands that someone has teken a shot eat one of the Army all-metal ships. Mr. Connelley said that it will possibly develop later in this investigation that someone will say that they saw flames coming out of the ship as she came over the field the first time. One of the officers to whom Mr. Connelley talked indicated that he thought he sew flames coming out of the ship as she came over the field.
