Kevin D. Randle PO BOx 264 Marion, IA 52302 August 3, 1995 SAF/AAZD Capt. James McAndrew 1720 Air Force Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20330-1720 Dear Capt. McAndrew: Congratulations on the promotion. Being a captain beats the hell out of being a lieutenant. You've joined the ranks of great captains like Kirk, Nemo and America. Enclosed are the transcripts that we discussed on the telephone the other day. I have the complete tapes if you want to review them.

RAGSDALE - JANUARY 26, 1993 (2) DS: Is it possible that because it was hit by lightning that it broke up and part of it went down...(discussion of the Mac Brazel sighting) JR: ...but it was either dummies or bodies or something laying there. They looked like bodies. They weren’t very long...over four or five foot long at the most. We didn’t see their faces or nothing like that but we had just got to the site and heard the army, the sirens, all coming and we got into a damned jeep to take off.

While observing the scene, I …
