SUNDAY OF PRINTS

Print I.
At first sighting of the dark end of the formation it was not giving off any smoky material. This happened as it neared the cloud formation and the vapor drifted to the North according to my daughter. However, I thought it drifted to the South as it dissipated and we can not agree on the North or South direction.

Print II.
The vapor trail from the object was a great deal wider than an ordinary jet trail and after Print II had disappeared and should be disregarded in the subsequent prints.

Print III.
New object appears moving from left to right and at arm's length I…

this case includes Seven (7) 8x10 color photos of sketches and dup. slides

Dear Dr. Hynek

Apparently our minds were operating on the same wave length last week, because at the time when you were writing your letter of February 18th, I was in the process of assembling the sketches and data and putting them together in a comprehensible form. I was honored to receive your telephone call and very pleased to discuss the sighting with you. I have re-read my letter to you for the first time since it was sent and realize that I contradicte…

Dear Dr.

I am still very much interested in the sighting which you made last
April, but I am no closer to a solution than I was before. I write this
to remind you that you promised to send the sketches of the sighting
that I believe you said your wife made.

You were not certain whether the original sketches still existed, but
you indicated that if they did not, you would prevail upon your wife
to reproduce them as best she can from memory. I hope that you will be
able to favor me with this in the near future as I would like to include
…

Dear Major:

You will soon fire me because instead of solving unidentifieds, I appear to be adding to them. I believe you got a copy of a letter that was sent to me by a physiotherapist from Cortland, New York, dated May 11, 1964. This was ever officially reported to your office, but it was officially reported to me, and so I guess in a way that counts as being officially reported. The sighting occurre…

before in the sky like a banana. It was at this point that he said that had he not seen it for himself, "You'd never had heard from me." The cloud itself seemed to have come from high elevation and as high or higher than the contrails he saw at first. He said the incident "snook him up a bit" and he cursed himself for not having his camera along, especially as he is a camera bug and usually has it along with him.

When the second object appeared, he thought perhaps it was his daughter's imagination, but then he saw it also and examined it with binoculars. This cloud, horizontal, was traveli…

Dear Dr. Hynek

I can appreciate that you probably receive hundreds of letters of this type, but if the information submitted herein assists you in any way in your research of matters of this sort, I am happy to submit it to you.

On April 11, 1964, my wife, two children (☐, age 10, and ☐ age 14) and I were having a picnic supper on a hill 1800 feet above sea level, about ten miles Northwest of Homer, New York. It was 6:30 p.m., wind out of the North about 5…
