ist Lt. Robert Olsson
Wright-Patterson AFR.

Dear Lt. Olsson;

This is a belated report on the last batch which I received at
the end of April. oe

Just as soon as our plans for employing Miss Gluck officially
go through >» L shall be able to send you a sheet with comments on” each individual
case, so that you will have my comments on each folder. The letter method xx
has obvious drawbacks. But until that time comes and she can handle my typing
and completion of forms, I had better stick to this letter method.

In this latest batch we have only really interesting cases. I
might mention a Sth, /28 March 53, Scott AFB, which is the lst report I've
seen of an honest to goodness mirage. 6 Cases have only one observer and I'M
following my usual rule of discounting those.

8 April was a meteors
The Great Falls 3 April) case was Venus if reported tines was in

28 March Albrook AFB was prfobably Venus,

31 arch Fonshu, and 30 March Lyle, Wash., are puzzling but could
possibly have been balloons.

The-8-April Greenland case was an obvious meteor,

This brings us to the interesting cases:

25 March San Antont a could hardly have been a mirage and I'm surprised
there was no radar pickup. ‘as there any aircraft like helicopters that mift
explain this. Anything more come in on this one? Don't think this is food enough
for a pinch-bottle but it should be listed as Nocturnal meandering kight.

29 March Spooner, “isc; Duration times needs chgcking here. Herd to
to believe that object could a done all that in 15 seconds. An eeerash ine case
and one of the regular questiongr¥es should be sent to lr. Cilette.

Next is the 12 April Stead AFB, I think this is the most interesting
case of the batch, and I hope you receive more dope on it. Questionnaires should be
sent.I'd like to see Menzel explain this one! Is there any possibility thatthese could
have been alrorant? Appa Gaby Ba have been eliminated.

fate

error.

A CAs 6 forthe Equasseur AFB although NML, the data are tcon-
tradictroy a PTheutrics nts Perhaps this was a helicopter? We ought to ico: have
much more in “*rmation on this one. Has this been received?
