Dear Sirs

Approximately on 22nd of May, I was traveling with my wife to the
City of Nogales, Arizona. Around 2:09 o'clock in the afternoon when at the
same time we saw that something came down from the sky like a meteor and
landed about 10 miles from the side of the road. It was a brilliant white
ball surrounded by flames. Like I said it was around 2:00 o'clock in the
afternoon and was traveling in south to north direction perpendicular to
earth. I am sending you this information so if it might be of any interest
to your investigation and I'm ready to indicate the place where I saw this

phenomenon.

Sincerely yours,
