SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 24


 * Subject: Hawaii Colony Vanishes With No Trace


 * 15-Jun-53


 * The crew of the USS Providence reports that the civilian colony in Hawaii has
 * disappeared. All military personnel on the battleships surrounding the islands are
 * also missing. There were no radio signals or distress beacons sent from the area and
 * no evidence of any attack on the islands. Command stations lost radio contact with
 * naval crews in the area at approximately 0100 hours on June 14th. The USS
 * Providence, which had been en route with supplies, arrived at 0823 to find the islands
 * deserted.


 * The crew of the Providence searched all six islands by air. No bodies were discovered.
 * There was no indication of a natural disaster or of any attempt to leave the islands on
 * the part of the colonists. There was also no trace of the crew members of the seven
 * battleships surrounding the islands. Equipment aboard the ships was fully operational
 * and there were no indications of conflict aboard any of the ships. For all appearances,
 * the naval crews and the civilian colony of 172,000 people have simply vanished.
