Sometime during J une or July, Ray Palmer of Zi f.r' -Davis Cot:rpany, .,.rhlch ublisned fantastic adventur e ma ga zine.:i ) t·eceived a letter f .r in 'l'fhic related his disc story hn'.i a l .3o Sl.!.bm.:Ltted some ragment s of the alleged flying disc . Ruy P·d1ner t hen hired Kenn~th Arnold to investigate t he s ighting .

On the eveni ng of J uly 31 , Arnold t ried to arrAn t:<~ a rnee ting be -twe , ; anu two Army intelligence :;fficers. r e -f used to attend the meeting bu at tendr:u and related entire event to them.
