Dear Sirs,

At exactly 9:04 on Tuesday November 17, 1964 in West Bridgewater, Mass, I looked up at the sky to see two very strange lights. They had no definite shape and were spinning round and round at incredible speed. As they spinned they came towards each other, but were too slow to be comets. It was a clear sky, there was a three-quarter moon, and the objects were 80 feet in the air, 170 yards away, and were about 2 feet in diameter. From where I stood they were 29° north and the moon was in back of me.

The same night at 9:30, another girl reported having seen a definite…

a noise similar to that made by the rotary blades of a helicopter. The unidentified object came from a southwest direction.

Hooking up at it, the bottom of the craft looked something like this 25/9 with many different colored lights. Many girls saw this and we would like to know if you have reports of any unidentified flying objects being sighted on that day. If it was by any chance we would a shooting star we would like to know about it. Thank you very much. I am writing in the interest of myself and my other biology classmates.
