Dear Sirs:

What is the official word, out of Washington, concerning U.F.O.'s?

On Sept. 14, at 7:45 P.M., I saw Aircraft which was unlike anything that the general public is aware of.

It was oval shaped, silver in color, and had heanas of white light extending out in all directions.

This was witnessed by 3 other people, to my knowledge. One was a police officer. Please give me a reply. I'm very concerned. Sincerely,

The investigation of unidentified flying objects reported in the skies over the United States is the responsibility of the Air Force. The name of this project is Blue Book. I am enclosing a copy of the current report on this project.
