Dear Sirs;

I have hesitated, to write to you offices for several months; However, I have decided that I must do so, because the information, that I have may be of some value to your research.

Although, the information is several months past due, it may still be of value.

The reason, I have hesitated to contact your office is because of all the bad publicity that a person seems to get when he does contact you.

Let me state, that I do not wish to receive any public notice and wish to remain anonymous on …

2. Investigation revealed that no weather balloons were released by Ellington AFB or the Houston area Weather Bureau on the date in question; however, the Houston Weather Bureau referred me to the Lake Charles, La, Weather Bureau because they thought Lake Charles released high altitude weather …

Attached Adiabatic chart received from U. S. Weather Bureau this date. The local weather officer, Major Paul T. Ulrich, was contacted to interpret the information for me. The following information was received from him:

"Assuming the balloon's ascension rate was 1000 feet per minute, the adiabatic chart indicates the balloon had the following flight path during the duration of flight indicated:
