To whom it may concern:

It was suggested to me by a local High School teacher that I write a letter to you and find some sort of an explanation of what I saw in the sky on July 7, 1965. First of all, let me say that we live away from the town, so I have a clear view of the sky. I am much interested in the stars, and the Satelites---having watched the Echo for the past five (or six) years---whenever I chance to spot it going over. I have watched it with the aid of a time-table published in some local paper, but lately, there being no time-tables publishe…

UFO Case: Report on phone call to Mrs. [redacted] & Kiel, Wisconsin, October 18, 1965, 15-20 minutes.

She had sent a letter to NASA and had received a reply to the effect that her letter was being referred to Right Field, and then, of course, nothing happened for a long while. She seemed extremely happy and very grateful to have a response: "very glad that somebody paid attention". So now at least she feels that her tax money does some good!

The sighting was actually July 6, 1965, rather than July 7, because she got out her diary while I talked with her, and she knows it was July 6 becau…

Dear Mrs.

I forgot to ask one important point in talking to you the other night. Which of the objects, Echo or the light you saw, came closest to the zenith, or exact overhead point, and, in fact, how close to the zenith did the light come?

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely yours,

Observer was outside looking at the sky at approximately 2130 when she noticed an object which first looked like a shooting star, but the flight was flashing on and off. ECHO I was visible in the sky at this time and this object moved in orbit across the sky passing ECHO as it crossed the zenith. The object disappeared in the East after having been visible for less than a minute. Its size was comparable with a star and was pulsating as though somebody was turning a flashlight on and off. It was about one flash per second, or somewhat less. There were no other color…

UFO Report: Mrs [redacted], Kiel, Wisconsin, phone call.

Sorry I can't identify this for you, but the woman's story was simple and straightforward and not at all complicated. She saw a pulsating light go from the western to eastern horizons in less than a minute. Had it been as slow as Echo, she said, she would have mistaken it for Echo, except that this was pulsating rapidly. Meteors, even if this were a possible explanation, do not flash on and off like a flashlight being clicked on and off, so I don't know where we are.

One of the outstanding things in this sighting is the repetitio…
