GENTLEMEN:

ON THE ADVISE OF MR. WEBBER, ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR CORP IN
THIS CITY, I AM REPORTING THE UNUSUAL OBJECTS OBSERVED AT
5:15 A.M. TODAY BY MY HUSBAND, 24 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND
MYSELF.

OUR HOME IS SITUATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST ERIE AVENUE
WHICH PARALLELS LAKE ERIE. OUR DAUGHTER HAPPENED TO LOOK
OUT OVER THE LAKE AND NOTICED THREE VERY BRILLIANT STARS
IN THE NORTHEAST. SHE THEN DECIDED THEY WEREN'T STARS FOR
THEY WERE MOVING. SHE AWAKENED ME AND ABOUT THEM, THE
FOURTH POPPED INTO VIEW FROM …

Because we are in business here and also because we do not want to be accused of having "flipped", when I called our local paper to inquire whom to contact, I did not give my name nor did I give it to Mr. [redacted] to whom they referred me. Please under no circumstances reveal it. I've read far too much about "hoax, publicity seekers, etc.", I want no part of the notoriety. I just want to know what we saw.

Our fifteen year old son is sure they were "flying saucers" and hopes they land in our front yard their next trip over.

I will greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Sincerely,

[signature…
