I refer to your recent letter concerning unidentified flying

objects from your constituent, Kr Cygne

nor is there a case for the area on the 3rd or 5th of November 1957.
The case referenced es taking place on 19 July 1958 actually
occurred on 20 July 1958. The object was sighted in the Crystal Lake

oe Oo EBB - 4) ah .

erea of Illinois and was identified by the Aerospace Technical

Intelligence Center analyst as a balloon. The description of the
object, position of the sun, and wind vector substantiate the conclusion.
The sighting was made from an aircraft which was moving in the exact
opposite direction from the wind, and the high closure rate accounts
for the relatively short duration of the sighting. Other factors which
probably contributed to the lack of identification of this object were
the scattered clouds between the aircraft and object plus the fact that
the object was between the sircraft end the ground and therefore probably
blended into this complex beckground.

This sighting took place during the month of November 1957 which

recorded more UFO sightings than most years. (See attached press release.)
