Dear Lte;

; This is quite a batch coming back at youe I think the idea of be in
readiness with a press release is 2 gocd ~— I should like to have Dr.

comments on our Pinchbottle cases.

' Jn tyro cases here we are taking the liberty of sending out Form As, with
an accompanying note stating that the sizhting has been referred to us as having
possible astronomical significance, and-yvrould they ecblige us by filling out the re-
port. If you have any objection to this procedure please let us knowe

As to seeing you in the near future, I hope so too. Did you know I am
sailing for Europe on August 26th. I'11 send you a postcard from Paris! The
project here will lie fallow, I'm afraid, during September, but we will attack
these problems with great strength in October. Noy to get on to business.

There appears to be only taro possible pichbottles in this last batch:
The 21 June Okinawa and the 22 June Goose AFB. On both of these I should like to
request a complete report and follow-up.

The Okinawa one may yet prove to be a balloon, though the evidence is ageinst
ite Object going against wind and object disappearing into cloud with relative velocity
of 45 ktse I think the best thing to do is to wait for further data. I am asking Jen
to needle both you and me on these follow-ups becase there is no point in having follorr-
ups uniess they are followed up!

The Goose AFB also needs follow-up with special attention to the 9 questions
on our Form "Eye".

Now as to the others: we pass by with a smirk the little monkey man.

cerviae As to the Tinker Tower cases, how come such an epidenic of balloons? Can't
they tell a balloon from a hole in the ground? Most interesting of the Tinker batch

was July 3rd. Glad to see that a camera wag used. What did the pictures look like?
Knd on the July 6th case, I eS the observer.

On the others, the notes tro have made on the Form I just about cover the case.

Wie have some reference T/Xs but we don't know to what they refer. They would
probably be important only if they refer to our pinchbottle cases.

Please give our regards to “d and indoctrinate him fully into the system we
have developed. Any comments that either you or he have on this method of handling
sightings would of course be: appreciated.

Cordially, - ™~s
