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.

Just as soon as our plans for employing Miss Gluck officially
go through, I shall be able to send you a sheet with comments on each individual
case, so that you will have my comnents on each folder. The letter method xu
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 4 really interesting cases. I
might mention a 5th, 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 Fallg3 sori} case was Venus if reported tine was in

28 March Albrook AFB was pr/obably Venus,

31 arch Fonshu, and 30 March Lyle, VYash., 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 Can Antonia could hardly have been a mirage and I'm surprised
there was no radar pickup, Was there any aircraft like helicopters that mint
explain this, Anything more come in on this one? Don't think this is food enourh
for a pinch-bottle but it should be listed as Nocturnal meandering kight.

29 March Spooner, “‘iscs Duration times needs ch@cking here. Head to
to believé that object could have done all that in 15 seconds. An interestin? case
and one of the regular questiongryes should be sent to Mr. Gilette,.

Wext 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. Questionaires should be
sent.i'd like to see Menzel explain this one! Is there any possibility thatthese could

have been assouery? no, fo tab ducks have been eliminated,
6

A Cis Pr. the Mabon, Equasseur AFB although NML, the data are tcon-
tradictroy é@nd~insuffici Perhaps this was a helicopter? We ought to imcz have

much more information on this one. Has this been received?

from south to north, returned to the south then reversed its dlrection of
travel and wes Bast observed heading north, Object was sighted ab 21454

consin. The object was observed visually by four (/,) parsons who at the
time of sighting were installing an antenna. lr, Qaim bas had no
orevious exoerLenese in aircraft recognition, however he had observed sing
lliar object at Spooner in 1938. Wweatasr was clear to lignt cirrus clouds
though which blue sky was visibile. winds aloft 15,000 feet, 240 degrees
at fifty (50) krots, 30,000 feet, 320 degrees at eighty (30) knots, and
