1. The attached letter from Master QP is a bricf description of |
a sighting which he experienced in June 1956.

2. This is a very old case, and will probably not be of much benefit
to the Air Force. In addition, the facts of the case are probably very

fuzzy in the witnesses memory.

3. It is suggested that a questionnaire, ATIC Form #lOl, be sent to
Naster@M® Sending this form may prevent much future correspondence

with the witness concerning the sighting.
