January 1954 vapor trails of jet craft were
seen criss crossed for four consecutive hours

covering eve square mile, apparently in
reuit of a U.F.0./U.4.0. over Seiverville,

ennessee, and neighboring communities.

It is my objective to learn the reason for
this maneuver, Were these jet craft in persuit
of a U.F.0./U.A.0.? IP so, can you inform

me of the circumstances; location; maneuvers;
and possible identification, including, ayes,
color, shape, etc., of said U.F.0./U.A.0.

If, for any reason, you cannot give me the
requested information for classification/
security restrictions, please forward this
missive to the propor authorities.
