Dear Sirs:

I address the following letter to you with the purpose of describing an unidentified object seen flying by me and my wife here in Aquadilla, P.R. Rico.

While I was showing to her some of the different constellations in the sky (I am an ex-professor of science) I noticed there was a star that was not supposed to be at the right hand side of Ursa Minor. This star shining with the intensity of a 1st magnitude star started moving very slow with a west-south eastern direction. At first I thought I was seeing wrong but my

It is my personal opinion that this object was flying very deep in the space and it was not a balloon nor a rocket perhaps it was a satellite following a definite path but since it started wiggling and then changed it angle to an upward lift I frankly most confess my surprise for I have never seen such a thing in my long studies of the sky.

In case you could find what it was I will like to hear about it. I certainly hope this one be for the benefit of those interested in what is going on around our sky.

Expecting your reply in a near future,

Yours truly,
