September 6th 1961

Dear President Kennedy:

In November 1951 I saw for a full 3 Minutes a strange space ship directly overhead. I think I have the knowhow of how it worked and I am sending it on to you in the hope it might help us with our space program.

The ship looked about 400 feet long about 60 feet high at the center. Its outsides were covered with metal plates which were alternately made hot and cold. My concept of the operation of the ship is:

That the outside metal plates were made of electrically seperated positive proton particles and when the outside revolving ring at the very ce

Now it seems to me that such a ship would be very hot inside and there might be danger of radio-active contamination to the occupants. So I would suggest that if we built such a ship that it would be made to lift a second ship with rocket controls for outer space flight.

This type of craft should be useful for the Armed Services since it can fly higher and travel faster and can maneuver much better than our conventional Aircraft.

I am enclosing a rough sketch of how the ship looked which I saw and I hope I have not interfered too much with your very big job which you now have.

Dear Mr. [redacted]

Your letter of September 6th addressed to the White House has been referred to this office.

Your interest in this matter manifested by writing to tell us of your experience is appreciated. Your description of how you think the object was propelled was not complete enough. Electronic theory supports a part of your approach to a propulsion system utilizing magnetic lines of force, i.e. if an object can be located specifically on a known line of force, rotated ninety degrees to that line, it should move perpendicular to the line and away from it at the spe

Major W. T. Coleman:

Dear Sir:

There probably were other witnesses to the sighting of the strange object but I never asked anyone whether or not they had seen it. There were a lot of people around here at Venice and Inglewood Blvd's in Los Angeles where I live. The reason I'm sure I saw it is because I was walking my Dog. He saw it too and he stood up on his chain and Barked quite a lot at it.

I realized while I was watching that I would have given anything I owned if I only could have had my motion picture camera along.

I have a very vivid memory of what the ship looked like.

the second ring's field which was an opposing field still connected with the ship and by magnetic opposition the ship could be made to move. It was a very large and big ship but it must be remembered that the ship if it was not attracted by gravity it would have been like a ship away out in outer-space. It could be moved with almost no power at all.

I read an account in the newspapers back in the late forties about an Army Jet pilot who was sent up to investigate a similar ship, I think his name was Capt. Mantel, he radioed back to ground that the ship looked metallic and then he cr

Dear Mr.

Your letter of October 4th concerning your theory of "electromagnetic
propulsion" has been read quite thoroughly. When I stated
to you the means by which movement could possibly be generated, I
only suggested a possibility filled with many complex problems.

Your theory is too generally stated leaving many questions
unanswered. For example, how do you rotate "a ring" without a
friction base? To get something moving there has to be a base
for friction in order to get something moving. What causes such
a ring to rotate?

The Mantell case you refer to involved an Air For

# SIGHTING BY AIRLINE FIRST OFFICER NOVEMBER 2, 1951

"We were flying an American Airliner DC-4 cargo flight from Los Angeles to Tulsa via Dallas, Texas. At 7:15 a.m., at 4500 feet, 3 minutes east of Abilene, on Airway G5, this object passed to our left at our same altitude and approximate course.

The object was very bright green with a short whitish tail or trail of exhaust vapor. We were making a true air speed of 220 mph. and the object appeared to be going several times our speed. After getting several miles
