Gentlemen:

Dear Mr. [redacted]

This is to acknowledge your recent letter concerning an unidentified flying object sighting at Garden City, New York on 12 November 1959.

The Air Force did not receive any other reports concerning your sighting.

The conclusion of the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center is that you were looking at the moon through a haze layer which was not readily apparent.

Sincerely,

Gentlemen:

1) believe that, in regard to unidentified flying objects, there are two things that should be done. These are:
1) To try in some way to contact them
2) To try to find out if they cause an increase in radioactivity or electrical or magnetic disturbances, or ultra-volt or infra-red radiation.

Yours Truly,
