At 10:45 asm, July 7, 1947, I talked to SAC Johnson of the Milwaukee Q@hice concerning the United Press item appearing in the Washington Post for Monday, July 7, with reference to a flying disc " or flying saucer, allegedly reported to the Milwaukee Office by ’ Reverend Jonepik Brasky of St. Joseph's Church, Grafton, Wisconsin. SAC Johnson advised that the Associated Press and the Unitéed Press between the hours 1:00 and 6:00 asm. today had made inquiry off him as to whether anything had been reported to the Milwaukee Offices — He declined to comment. He stated as a matter of fact the priest had. not made any contact with him, and he learned from the Associated Press _ that the priest was intoxicated and as far as the Associated Press was ‘2° concerned they were not releasing the story because all that was involved was a circular saw. Mr. Johnson stated the Milwaukee Sentinel apparently sent the report out and that they handled United Press service. He stated a photograph of the priest was in this morning's paper holding a circular saw which apparently covers the body of the priest from arm pit to arm pit. ~* Attached to the saw are several wires and two small tubes described as about three inches long and one inch in diameter. The news item in the ‘ Milwaukee Sentinel indicates it was believed some prankster had thrown it ™. into the yard, perhaps with a firecracker attached.
