Dear Capte Harding ;

Wie have been so busy with the Black Hawk, Se Dakota case that
I've only just now gotten dom to locking over the large batch of accum-
ulated reports. I must say that compared with Black Hawk, none of these
approaches that incident in idnterest. There are a few interesting sight-
ings, but on none of these is information sufficient to make a follow-up

profitable.

Of the interesting ones, the very similar sightings of 2k July and
i August at Key West would warrent followeup if they were nore recente
With present Lafermation TI have no suggested explanation.

The 26 July Perrin AFB Texag also holds possible interest from the
standpoint of maneuvers and the fact they were observed from the Control
Tower and by civilians of Dermison, Texas.

——~

It is too bit there is not more information on Creola, Ala. These
Cases cover four separate days. There is possibly pay dirt in these.

Finally, tie Sidi Slimane sighting is definitely puzzling and wll
probably have to r«nain on the books as unexplained,

As for the remaining 30 or so, there is so little information con-
cerning those which <o not have obvious explanations that there is no per-
centage whatever in considering them seriously.

Thus, out of the total number there are independent sets which,
if staff and time were available, would be interesting to pursue. Personally,
I vote for sticking with the Black Hawk case until we have squeezed it dry.
I feel certain that if this case can be explained, others would follow suit.

Concerning the Black Hawk case, we are proceeding slowly but surely
with the investigation. Solid objects are certainly indicated by the evidence.
og the observations covered several hours and s;ehtings were both visual

ana radar, it is important, in my estimation, that we continue to pursue this
since failure to identify pinpoints a possible real weakness in our defense

set—une I hepe to have a preliminary report on this case for you soon.
