1. 1947년 7월 4일 13시 35분, 포틀랜드 시 경찰 무선을 통해 포틀랜드 및 인근 상공에 빠른 속도로 비행하는 물체들이 있다는 무선 경보가 모든 순찰차와 청취자들에게 발령되었다. 본 요원이 무선 통신원(dispatcher)에게 연락한 결과, 오리건주 포틀랜드 S. E. Bush Street 916번지에 거주하며 10th Avenue와 교차하는 Southeast Morrison에 위치한 포틀랜드 시 경찰 제1지구대(Precinct #1)에서 근무 중인 포틀랜드 시 경찰국 순찰관 케네스 A. 맥도웰(Kenneth A. McDowell)이 통신원에게 전화를 걸어 해당 비행 물체들을 보고했다는 사실을 안내받았다.
1. At 1335, 4 July 1947, a radio alert was issued via the Portland City Police Radio, advising all cars and listeners that some fast flying objects were in the air over Portland and vicinity. Upon contacting the radio dispatcher, this agent was advised that Kenneth A. McDowell, Patrol- man, Portland City Police Department, residing at 916 S. E. Bush Street, Portland, Oregon, on duty at Precinct #1, Portland City Police, Southeast Morrison at 10th Avenue, had called in advising the dispatcher of the flying objects.

2. 본 요원은 맥도웰 순찰관을 면담했으며, 그는 1947년 7월 4일 13시 30분경 제1지구대에서 근무 중이었고 경찰서 뒤편 주차장에서 비둘기들에게 먹이를 주고 있었다고 진술했다. 이때 비둘기들이 무언가에 매우 흥분하여 일제히 공중으로 날아올랐다. 맥도웰 순찰관은 무엇이 비둘기들을 놀라게 했는지 주위를 둘러보던 중, 포틀랜드 동쪽 상공에서 5개의 커다란 디스크를 보았으며, 두 개의 디스크는 남쪽으로, 세 개는 동쪽 방향으로 비행하고 있었다고 진술했다. 맥도웰 순찰관은 디스크의 색상은 식별할 수 없었으나, 그것들이 위아래로 진동하듯 흔들리며 엄청난 속도로 이동하고 있었다고 알렸다. 그는 이 디스크들이 자세한 관찰을 하기도 전에 시야에서 사라졌기 때문에 속도나 고도를 추정할 수 없었다. 맥도웰 순찰관은 즉시 경찰 무선에 이를 알렸고 무선망은 즉각 경보를 방송했다고 진술했다. 맥도웰 순찰관은 이 디스크들에서 어떠한 동력(motivating force)의 징후를 보거나 소리를 듣지 못했으며, 둥글다는 것 외에는 다른 묘사를 할 수 없다고 알렸다.
2. This agent interviewed Officer McDowell who stated at approximately 1330, 4 July 1947, he was on duty at Precinct #1, and was in the parking lot back of the Police Station, feeding the pidgeons. At this time the pidgeons became very excited over something and fluttered in the air all at once. Officer McDowell stated in looking around to see what had disturbed them, he saw five large discs in the air to the East of Portland two discs flying South and three flying in an Easterly direction. Officer McDowell stated he could determine no color to the discs, but advised they were dipping in an up and down oscillating motion and were traveling at a great speed. He was unable to give an estimate of the speed or altitude of these discs as they were out of sight before any detailed observation could be made. Officer McDowell ad- vised he notified the Police Radio who immediately broadcast an alert. Officer McDowell advised he saw no indication of any motivating force or heard any sound coming from these discs and could give no description other than round.

3. 본 요원은 오리건주 밀워키(Milwaukie)의 제1구역서(District Number 1 Station)에서 근무 중인 오리건주 경찰 소속 클로드 크로스 경사(Sergeant Claude Cross)를 면담했다. 크로스는 무선 경보를 듣고 밖으로 나가 남쪽 방향을 바라보았을 때, 미상의 고도에서 엄청난 속도로 서로의 뒤를 따라 북서쪽 방향으로 비행하는 세 개의 디스크를 보았다고 진술했다. 크로스는 태양빛이 이 물체들에 반사될 때 희끄무레한 갈색(whitish brown) 섬광을 목격했다고 알렸다. 크로스는 다른 묘사는 할 수 없었으며, 물체의 속도나 고도 역시 판단할 수 없었다. 이 물체들에서는 아무런 소리도 나지 않았다.
3. This agent interviewed Sergeant Claude Cross, Oregon State Police Officer on duty at District Number 1 Station, Milwaukie, Oregon. Cross stated upon hearing the radio alert he went outside and upon looking in a Southerly direction he saw three discs following each other at an undetermined altitude and at a terrific speed, traveling in a Northwesterly direction. Cross advised he noticed a whitish brown glint to these objects as the sun reflected from them. Cross was unable to give any other description nor could he judge the objects speed or altitude. No sound was made by the objects.

4. 본 요원은 오리건주 포틀랜드 124 Southeast 13th Avenue에 거주하는 포틀랜드 시 경찰국 소속 순찰관 얼 S. 패터슨(Earl S. Patterson)을 면담했다. 패터슨은 자신이 전쟁 당시 항공대(Air Corps) 조종사로 복무했었다고 알렸다. 그는 무선 경보가 울렸을 때 포틀랜드의 Southeast 82nd와 Foster Road에 있었으며, 차에서 내리자 포틀랜드 상공에서 남서쪽 방향으로 비행하는 한 개의 디스크를 보았다고 진술했다. 패터슨은 이 디스크가 알루미늄 색이었고, 비행운이나 연기 흔적을 남기지 않았으며, 그가 이전에 보았던 어떤 비행 물체보다도 빠른 엄청난 속도로 이동하고 있었다고 알렸다. 패터슨은 물체의 정확한 크기를 알 수 없어 고도를 판단하기는 어렵지만 30,000피트 정도로 추정한다고 덧붙였다.
4. This agent interviewed Earl S. Patterson, Patrolman, Portland City Police Department, and residing at 124 Southeast 13th Avenue, Portland, Oregon Patterson advises he was a former Air Corps pilot during the war. He stated that the time the radio alert sounded, he was at Southeast 82nd and Foster Road, Portland, and upon getting out of his car he saw one disc flying in a Southwesterly direction, over Portland. Patterson advised this disc was alumi- num in color, left no vapor trail or smoke trail and was traveling at a terri- fic speed, faster than he has ever seen any flying object before. Patterson further advised, although not knowing the exact size of the object it is diffi- cult to determine the altitude, he estimates its altitude at 30,000 feet.

패터슨은 또한 그 비행 디스크가 확실히 일종의 항공기였지만 속도가 빨라 관찰이 어려웠기 때문에 더 이상의 묘사는 할 수 없다고 알렸다. 그는 비행 물체에서 나는 어떤 소리도 듣지 못했다.
Patterson further advised the flying disc was definitely some type of air- craft but he could not give any further description as its speed made obser- vation difficult. He heard no sound emitted by the flying object.
