Director March 5, 1980 Federal Bureau of Investigation Page -2- In July, l978, a U.F.0. was reportedly observed by a resident of Taos, New Mexico, reportedly hovering over a pickup truck. The next morning, the enclosed powder flakes were reportedly recovered from the roof of the aforementioned. pickup. Some of the individuals that are most vocal to the media have inferred that these flakes are identical with a substance that was taken from cowhides in a controlled test conducted in the Dulce, New Mexico area. Dulce, New Mexico, which has been the site of several reported mutilations, is. located approximately seventy miies from Taos, New Mexico. I have not been able to locate a sample of the substance reportedly collected in the Dulce test, but 1t has been described as a florescent material. A I have, to-date, been'able to confirm any connection between these two substances, and have been told by those that have seen both that they are not identical. However, I would appreciate it if through the use of a G.S. Mas spectroscopy test or any other logical test, that these flakes can be identified. This in itself would go a long way to assisting me to discredit the U.F.O. -- Cow Mutilation. association theory. If need be, the flakes can be destroyed during your examination. Your cooperation in this investigation is appreciated. Sincerely, enne m. KENNETH M. ROMMEL, JR. KMR/dsm enclosure
