NARRATIVE SUMMARY:

LA QUESTA ENCANTADA

CASA DEL MAR
SAN SIMEON.CAL

this is not main building, only a guest cottage of which there are three. I have been with H. for 21 years. You may have heard of him. I took time out from Sep. 42 to Sep. 45 to go in the armed forces, was 62 at time of enlistment, returned to castle, am night watchman, now as when I saw the discs, which was about the last of October. Did not know of any one to write to about them. Saw the articles in the past, so concluded to write you. There were only a few at the castle at time I saw the discs all had entered so did not get any one up

Suspension of what I saw. What the locations are:
Distance between two, about 3 miles
Valley
Direction of discs. off Rely
Discretion of discs. apparently 18 yrs in.
~~no obstruction~~ & my position about 1 mile south of path of discs.
Approximately 100 feet lower than discs.
Atmosphere perfectly clear. no moon.
Cable
Discs going at high speed. about two minutes apart. all on same level.
Continued from 9. A.M. until 11. M. two hours.

have since suggested that I did not get them up, but thought they would likely stop before I could get them there. I first noticed there discs making my first sound of the night. at 9 A.M. saw one, then stopped of course to wander about it, back heard of discs before. well I stood there and counted 16 coming at about two minutes intervals. started on around. they kept coming, so just kept watching them. kept going until eleven O. Clock, saw about 60 of them. all emerged from behind Red Rockment out of sight behind Pat Garrity. this is no optical allusion. I saw then, so that this is rather in …

guess this is about all I can tell you, but I saw them and no guess work about it, regret very much & was alone.

Very Truly Yours

San Simeon, Calif.
