Dear [illegible]:

Further reference is made to your letter of May 9, 1964 in which you inclosed a report on Unidentified Flying Objects observed by students at the Asheville School for Boys.

Our Project Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base states that there is no data submitted which indicates that the observations were anything other than stars and planets or conventional aircraft. The most significant of the planets during this period was Venus with a magnitude of -4.2.

Sincerely,

I hope that you can find some reasonable explanation for this other than the one which seems apparent, but I am inclined to think, with several other students that no other explanation can be found. I assure you that none of this has been done as a joke, because we feel th…

All these students are very honest. This was not made up for PUBLICITY because we have no intention of having this published. Before you is a true report of the happenings.
