MEMORANDUM FOR: Captain Miatech - AFCIN-4F3a
SUBJECT: General Orbital-Track Checks for Air Sciences Division.
This office has received a number of UFO reports from GOC posts
in Green Bay, Northern Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota areas. A
cursory check discloses that these are primarily staffed with high school
students now on vacation and elderly people with time on their hands.
Their reliability is obvious. However, would appreciate if a check for
Satellite be made on the basis of th following observed in that area:
a. Time: Between 2l20 to 2l40 hours (local).
b. Date: 12 July 1958.
c. General direction: SSW to ENE.
d. U UFO appearance: V Very small, white and round.
V2 Just received UFO report from Air Attache, France - there were
four military observers. Basic data: -
a. a.I Place: NE France(50 N -4 E). Place:
b. Time: 2127 Therefore,
local time same.)
c. I Date: 11 July 1958. M
180-107
d. General direction: 1 - 190 degrees to 4050 degrees,
estimate, i. e. generally SW to NE.
e Appearai Round one
minute.
3. Your comments and results of your computations may be hand
written directly on this memorandum. Would appreciate it if you would
give us a call.
Captain, USAF .
