American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedA one-page 1950 FBI memorandum relaying a third-hand account from an Air Force investigator that three 'flying saucers' with small human-shaped occupants had been recovered in New Mexico. Released in the FBI Vault in 2011, it records a rumour rather than an investigation; the story traces to the Newton–GeBauer confidence scheme. Speakers on the channel call it the 'Huddle' memo.
