Reference the attached letter from [redacted] requesting information on his recent unidentified observations. The first observation of August 1965 is very similar to an observation of an infra-red photo mission. The color of the lights, slow speed, low altitude and the noise are all characteristic of this type of observation. The noise is caused by a generator used in operating the equipment. The second sighting of 1 September could be caused by test aircraft at high altitude as Mr

Gentlemen:

I have been rather hesitant about writing this letter, feeling that you know what it is all about but after thinking it over if you don't know then you should.

About a month ago I was sleeping outside with two of the children. At 4:30 AM I was awakened by a very loud noise which I would say was caused by a propeller driven aircraft with adjustable pitch props which can make such a racket in the sky. Then I saw a very slow flying aircraft just starting to disappear over the rooftop.

Dear Mr. [redacted]

This is in reply to your letter of December 3, 1963, in which you submitted information with respect to a theory on Unidentified Flying Objects.

The theories you express are based on assumptions which do not exist. To date there has been no evidence to support the contention that UFOs are from outer space. All evidence received to date indicates that these objects are natural phenomena or misinterpretation of some conventional object.

The Air Force does not deny the existence of intelligent life on other planets. There has been no evidence submitted to
