Dear Sir:

My name is [redacted]. I am 22 years old and a graduate of the University of Detroit. I work at Radio Station WTOO in Toledo as [redacted].

Leaving the station alone the night of Saturday, June 13, 1964, at about 9:15, one hour after sign-off, I observed three strange objects in the air flying over the wheat field adjacent to the station property. They were roughly 300 feet up in the air, and moving away from me very slowly, at perhaps 10 miles an hour. They had approximately the size and shape of the cockpit of a helicopter, which I thought they w…

Dear Mr.

This letter follows up our telephone conversation the other evening and also gives me the opportunity of sending one of the regular question forms the Air Force sends in cases in which more information is needed. I'm also enclosing a duplicate for your own files.

I would very much appreciate your sending a copy of the longer letter you mentioned on the phone. I feel that there must be a perfectly natural explanation for your sighting but for the moment there is really very little to go on. One needs to know the dimensions of the surroundings,…

Dear Mr.

Thanks for your card of November 18. May I also use this as a reminder that I have not yet gotten your material. I hope that you will still be able to send me this material not only for our records but in the hopes that we may arrive at a solution to the enigma. Do you by any chance have a poloroid or other photograph of the area in which this was seen? It sometimes helps me to visualize the actual occurrence. Of course, the photograph would be a daytime one.

Thanks again for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

J. Allen Hynek
Director

Mr.
Toledo, Ohio 43614

Dear Mr.

Thank you very much for your recent letter and the information you sent. The sighting you made is still entirely puzzling to me, and by itself, it would probably lead nowhere. However, since some other sightings like it exist in different parts of the country at various times, the possible scientific value in these sightings lies in examining their similarities and differences. If some sort of a pattern shows up, then we have something to work on. Sightings like these puzzl…

Dear Mr. [redacted]

Just to cover all possibilities, is there any outside chance that the sighting of June 13, 1964 could have been caused by alluminescence of great swarms of insects? I personally do not think so, but all possible angles should be covered. The occurrence at a nearby drive-in restaurant at which a cloud of tiny light green insects appeared may have nothing to do with the case, but it is at this time of the year that such insects can swarm in colossal hordes. But illumination is a problem, however, as is especially the reddish…

Dear Private

Thank you for your recent letter. I hope you are still alive despite your rigorous training and that before long I will get the photographs of the terrain where the sighting occurred and also the sketches I believe you said you had made. Maybe I am wrong about the latter since your report did contain something of the sort.

The pictures will, in any case, be helpful to get the location well in mind. I agree with you about the swarm of insects, but I am still puzzled about…
