Subject: Unidentified aerial object (meteor?)

Sirs:

Not knowing what Government agency is interested in reports and description of unusual aerial objects, I decided to write to you, thinking you would have some interest in such reports, or could advise me where to send them.

Last September (1959) I sighted by chance an object moving through the sky in the manner of a meteor. It was larger than most meteors, however, and

1. Attached are copies of letters which were forwarded to ATIC by the CAA and the NASA reporting the sighting of unidentified flying objects. The information contained in these letters is not sufficient for a conclusion to be reached by ATIC; therefore, request ATIC Forms #164 be sent to the witnesses for their completion and forwarding directly to this Center, Attn: AFCIN-4E2x.

Dear Mr. [redacted]

Your letter of August 8, 1960, addressed to the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration was referred to this office
April 3, 1961.

The Air Force is assigned the responsibility for investigating
all reports of unusual aerial objects over the U.S., including those
that become labeled unidentified flying objects.

To insure adequate evaluation of these sightings it is necessary
that cases be reported as soon as possible after sighting and that
complete information be included. Since the sighting made by you
occurred in 1959 it would be most difficult, if
