Gentlemen:

On March 31, 1966 at approximately 8:45 P.M., I was taking down our trash cans. I looked up in the sky and saw what appeared to be an airplane. It had a giant red light on the tail end. But it made no sound whatsoever. It was headed north to south. After I checked my senses I relieved I was looking at a U.S.O. I have read all about them. One time I sent to you asking for information. You sent me Blue Book, 1 February 1966. I re-sad this. After a few seconds a plane was in the area. I couldn't tell …

solid object. Maybe I did see an airplane, but it was too low. What I saw last night wasn't anything I could recognize. This is not April fools!!!

I hope my report was clear enough so that you can get an evaluation. Here are some statistics about it in summary form:
1. direction - north to south
2. est. speed - about 30 mph. ☑
3. est. height - 100 feet ☑
4. area - Moorestown, New Jersey, over my house.
5. time ≈ 8:45 P.M.
6. size - 60 feet across (diameter)
Frankly I'm scared.

Sincerely,

(P.S. - What did I see? All the guys are calling me "highball- I've been flying saucers.")
