Summary

In September 1949, in Lebec, California, a UFO incident was recorded, including four photographs and several classified documents. This case, known as Case 540, was investigated by the OSI (Office of Security Investigation) and assigned the file number 24-30. Although the images are not visible here, it is mentioned that there are several photographic proofs and official documents indicating the seriousness with which the case was handled. The labels "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" suggest that the material was sensitive and only accessible to authorized personnel.

The case includes several "Exhibits" (A, B, C, and D), indicating that multiple pieces of evidence were collected. Although no detailed information is provided about what was observed, the fact that photographs were taken and an official file was generated suggests that the phenomenon was considered significant. This historical document offers a glimpse into the official approach to UFOs in the 1940s, an era when these phenomena began to be documented with greater rigor.
