The following day, press accounts revealed that a "mysterious telephone informant with uncannily accurate information" had contacted the United Press of Tacoma.  The caller claimed that the crashed B-25 had been loaded with flying disc fragments; the caller further claimed that flying saucer witnesses Kenneth Arnold and E.J. Smith had been "in secret conference" at Tacoma's Hotel Winthrop.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/485766482/|title=2 Aug 1947, 3 - The World at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref>  General Ned Schramm of the fourth air force publicly acknowledged that the deceased pilots were intelligence officers who had traveled to Tacoma to meet with original saucer witness Kenneth Arnold, but Schramm told denied knowledge of any debris onboard the plane, telling press that "it was his understanding" that the pilots "were not bringing anything back with them".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/75097503/|title=3 Aug 1947, Page 1 - Nevada State Journal at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref name="auto24"/><ref name="arnoldch11"/>

By August 3, press reported a detailed narrative about the events: original saucer witness Kenneth Arnold had travelled to Tacoma to investigate claims by [[Fred Crisman]] and Harold Dahl, who reported recovering debris dropped by a flying saucer at [[Maury Island]].  Flight 105 pilot E.J. Smith joined the investigation, which received "lava rocks" from Crisman who claimed they were "flying disc debris".  Army Air Force investigators were contacted, and two investigators flew to Tacoma where they took possession of the debris and departed in their B-25 to return to Hamilton Field.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/723484175/|title=3 Aug 1947, 1 - The Idaho Statesman at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref name="auto24"/><ref name="arnoldch11"/>
