Gentlemen:

I read the articles in the Saturday Evening Post about "Flying Saucers" and wish to report what I saw in the sky over Dumont, N.J., about the middle of March this year. I am a registered nurse and not in the least supersititious or surprised at a good many things that I see but I must say that the sight of this object gave me the thrill of a lifetime and I don't care to see any more and not know what it was. I can fully sympathize with any of the othe…

or to the cold war effort I will have done my bit because I still believe that it was some trick of the heavens rather than any man made object.
What I am most interested in finding out is whether any observatory in this part of the country reported any unusual activity in the sky at that particular time.
