3/23/64 Dear Sirs, I would like to know what you think it was that I really saw. Please do not think that I am a so called crack-pot, or a joker. I really am worried about this. If it is not a flying saucer or a spaceship that I saw please then tell me what it was. If you tell me that it was reflections or a weather balloon or etc. I will believe you if you can prove it to me. I do not doubt it could be a weather balloon etc. but what I saw just don't seem normal to me. Please help me if you can. Thank you for your help & information. Very Sincerely Yours, (14)
