Reference the attached letter from Mrs [redacted] requesting information on her unidentified observations. The following is a suggested reply:

Dear Mrs [redacted],

We have checked the satellite schedule on the Echo and Pegasus satellites for the night of 4 October 1965 and find that only Pegasus I was in the area.

The first sighting was on the night of September 16 (or possibly the 15, but one of those two days) at 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening (again, somewhere within those limits). Standing in our side yard, looking up I saw what at first I thought was a star. Then I notic…

1. The objects were too high to be planes, their lights also were steady without blinking.
2. The red object was traveling away from the white object and thus looked as if it came from it.
3. Could this red object be a reentering capsule of information from one of our satellites? That there were two sightings of the same course seems to clearly justify that it is a satellite. These are my husband's conjectures.

We would be very interested to know if there is an official record of the satellite and the "reentering capsule". Or is there another more plausible explanation? Thank you.

Sincerely,…
