Dear [redacted]

Gentlemen:

At precisely 9:00 O.S.T. time, I saw an irregular blinking ivory white, small light blinking in the western sky apparently followed by an identical light. It appeared that they were many miles apart, though they looked only several inches apart. The two, irregularly blinking alternately moved in a westerly direction and finally sunk over the horizon. At times, they appeared almost an orange-white. Having seen meters before, I am certain that their velocity didn't even…
