"Later, a Canadian authority said they probably saw a fireball or meteor, a fireball being bigger than the usual meteor.

Chief,
U.S. Army Intelligence Service,
Washington, Tenn.

Dear Sirs;

Recently on my farm seven miles from this town I saw one of the flying saucers. It was an object the shape of a sauger, flying very high and at a very high rate of speed. Of hugh size, made of aluminum and powered by motors. Not jets. It is invisisible unless the sun strikes it at the proper angle. There were four other adults in the party that saw it.

Just thought you might be interested in knowing this.

Very truly yours.

P.S. I prefer no publicity about this matter.
