Dear Mrs. Axtater:

SEP - 7 1965

This is in reply to your report of an aerial object which you could not identify.

Due to the time lapse involved, it is not possible for us to investigate your report. We received no other reports from the California area for 23 September 1952.

The books by Donald Keyhoe are considered to be science fiction by the Air Force.

Sincerely,

JOHN F. SPAULDING
Lt Colonel, USA…
