Memo - UFO Cse File
25 Feb 58 - Hampton

1. Check with U.S. Wildlife SVS - indicates that migratory
fowl often do fly over cities
or towns at night. Never at
high altitudes (Note: Source here
states that altitude of objects about 3000
ft). Canadian geese and other of
family fly in formation.

2. All a/c plotted. No 6 or 7 in area
at same time.

3. Radar claims nothing in area at
those times, but states objects 1st of
birds very seldom show or certain
scapes & figures.

4. Dependent: Nobody else observed anything
unusual - yet the objects were alleged to
be directly over Hampton - BOTH TIME…
