Dear Sir;

I would like to report the siting of an Unidentified Flying Object.

It was seen by myself and one other person while sitting in the yard. We first noticed it at approximately 12:50 A.M. of the morning of July 23, 1964. We watched it for about 6 or 7 minutes.

Dear Mr. :

This is in reply to your letter of July 25, 1964, in which you reported sighting an Unidentified Flying Object.

Because of atmospheric conditions, the satellite may have appeared to you to be traveling in an erratic course, however, this is merely an optical illusion.

Sincerely,

MASTON M.…
