puipwememps, cniet Radar Intelligence, 31th Air Division.

I feel certain these men saw an unusual object not of a conventional nature,
Theres may be possibility of a tie-in with an object sighted in Japan five days
later, which was reported in the Pacific Stars and Stripes newspaper, These men
were not available until a week after their sightings. But upon questioning I
ascertained that neither had read the newspaper article which might have colored

their stopy somewhat. I have no subststantial idea of the possible cause of ths
Sighting.
