Dear Capt. Harding ;
We have been so busy with the Black Hawk, S. Dakota case that
I've only just now gotten down to looking over the large batch of accum-
ulated reports. I must say that compared with Black Hawk, none of these
approaches that incident in interest. There are a few interesting sight-
ings, Ae on none of these is information sufficient to make a follow-up
profitable.
Of the interesting ones, the very similar sightings of 2 July and
1 August at Key West world warrent follow-up if they were more recent.
Sitn present inicesavion f have no suggested explanation.
The 26 July Verrin AFB Texas also holds possible interest from the
standpoint of man«vers and the fact they were observed from the Control
Tower and by civ: ios of Demison, Texas.
It is to: ‘ tere is not more information on Creola, Ala. Thess
cases cover four .-.. ute days. There is possibly pay dirt in these.
Finally, “he Sidi Slimane sighting is definitely puzzling and ~ 11
probably have to r*rain on the books as unexplained.
As for t)+ resatning 30 or so, there is so little information con-
cerming those wt! 2» net have obvious explanations that there is no per-
centage whatever . =;sidering them seriously.
Thus, out .: 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.
Since the observations covered several hours and s;\;htings were both visual
and 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
st—ud» I hepe to have a preliminary report on *his case Sor you scone
