Dear Sir:

If after reading this letter you feel I have wasted your time please accept my apologies. I am seventeen years old and am the the process of refitting my senior time on the theory of "plying someone" which is part of the reason I happened to be at signing the skis on Sunday night, March 15, 1964 at 10:00 a.m. I went outside to get a paper for my father and happened to look up and was thinking deeply about my there, when I thought I saw something moving i

Any details of the object were not capable
of being made out.

In an "Aeration" a strong and
an certain this was something I have never
seen before. The object had a possible
+6 magnitude; it seemed to look like a
star moving in a wobbly pattern across the sky.
Elevation and distance was unable
to be determined.

My mother and sister felt that the
object was an airplane and I felt the
same at first, but when the object reached
the middle of the horizon, 50°, the light
suddenly went out; my mother told me
that sometimes plans will turn out their
light; but this object had only one soft

south at 15 miles per hour.

My mother and sister forgot the incident
with the theory that the object was an
airplane that "dressed" its lights. This all
may be true, but if there is an Apper possible
that you can find out what the object was
that flew over, I would appreciate any, and
all news or theory. This is just an ordinary
report that you probably receive daily, with
no distinct description as others give, but this
being my first sighting, I'm a bit interested
in finding out what it was!

Thank you for reading my l

Dear Sirs:

I am in the midst of writing my high school term theme which concerns the theory of flying saucers. I have read literature by such men as George Adamski; Edward J. Ruppelt; C. G. Jung and Coral E. Larenzen and others, concerning flying saucers.

I am not asking for any private files or top-secret information if there is any, but more detailed outside information to make my theme complete.

If you can aid my research in anyway possible, it will be appreciated immensely.

Very truly yours,
