Gentlemen,

Enclosed please find a sketch of an event that happened here a few days ago. While walking to my place of employment about 5 o'clock in the morning of August 18th, suddenly there appeared in the eastern sky a formation of about 12 "pieces." Moved North-South to the West, speed about 5-600 M.P.H. Altitude 5-6000 feet. Elevation here is about 2250 Feet. Terrain is very mountainous, 50 ft. West of Donner Summit, Mount Rose and Lake Tahoe, he…

and then it seemed as if so, "guiding force" pulled them back in line to disappear in the distance.

Color black, moving as in a hazy mist, no audible sound from observers view point, which was about one mile.

Diameter of objects 50-100 feet. appeared to be a definite invention of some kind, and a formidable one at that!

At 8 o'clock that same morning I called the Sheriff of Placer County to report this incident.

Will be thankful to hear from you regarding this matter.

Yours very truly
