Dear Mr. [redacted]

SEP - 9 1965

The general description of the object which you observed on the night of 11 August 1965 resembles that of other reported meteors of the fireball class. These meteors appear at a low altitude and are extremely bright, having a magnitude greater than -3.

We are forwarding your letter to Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the civilian consultant to Project Blue Book, for his professional opinion on this observation. Should he feel that the object was not a meteor, he will no doubt contact you for additional information.

Sincerely,

JOHN P…
