Report on telephone conversation with First United Presbyterian Church, Street, Pleasant View, Pennsylvania, phone , regarding his observation of 26 May 64, phone call was made on 10 May 65.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

1. Object of phone call was to determine if possible, through the conversation, of general reliability and exciteability of observer and to attempt to bring out any inconsistencies and contradictions during the retelling of the story.

2. As stated in the original report the sighting was divided into three phases:

Phase One: and a phone , were driving west on route 36-27 in fairly open…

He said it was very close to the car, so close that he had to look at a sharp angle upward through the windshield to see it, he had started up the car again and at this time object apparently took off at a high fantastic rate of speed. In any case he lost sight of it.

**Phase Three**: He took off West in the car attempting to trail the object. After proceeding two miles, during a part of which journey he was illegally on blocked road that was under repair, he saw the object again. Now it looked like a circle of stationary yellow orange light, he thinks it was about 500 yards away, again they …

5. The only other possible collaboration was a , who lives close by who said she saw a bright light in the sky but merely pulled down her share (A fine example of scientific curiosity)

6. also indicated that when the light was closed to the car it was lower than the top of a telephone pole and seemed to be swooping down.

7. Unfortunately the was unable to couch anything in scientific terms. He used vague descriptions and was not precise as to the motions of the light. He was precise about the roads used and the distances his car traveled. It was clear from the conversation that he had been d…

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I was very happy you were elected and supported you in this area even though we differ over Bible Reading in Public Schools.

Something happened to me in May along with another man who was with me (Thank God he was!). This is why I enclose the article on UFO's.

Here is a brief summary of what happened May 26, 1964 at about 11 p.m.:

We were driving west on Route 36-27 towards P…

light" seen by John Glenn when he was orbiting ever explained? 2) Was there an explanation for Scott Carpenter's radio failure?

Maj. Keyhoe emphasis is upon planes, capsules, and rockets. I assure you what we observed was far lower than any plane capsule or rocket or balloon. I had considered a balloon for a while but the tremendous speed and altitude (to say nothing of the peculiar glowing yellow-orange light) rules it out.

I do not believe that censorship is the answer. If this is some government experiment they are shocking citizens.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Kindest …
