he was an air intelligenc officer from about 1950 to 1960, and
was stationed at Davis-Monthan during 1951-53 Field investiga-
tion of sightings was one of his routine duties, not at
Davis-Monthan but also at ther duty stations, The B-36 case,
which he believes occurred 1952. was in which he himself
