Dear Sir:

I tad my Unc’e answer the questions on the UeSe Air Force Techniaa” Sheete
Up t@ this time I had not to’d him —£ had sent in any information about seaing
this object.

Ze sald Sunday he wou*d answer any questions, but he dtd not want a ‘ot of
papers seat to him to be fitted outs I think perhaps we have covered what the;
saw. If you have any more forms to be fit"ed out p’eass send them to ma, and

'iI*** take then to nine
We did not give his phdnes number, for it is a "itt’e hard for him to ta’k

on the teBenheneo
I do not have a phone at the office, but ay bene phone number ia

7a Clarion, Paes exc hangée
aven*t gaid anything about this object being seen, for i? sonething

did come down I mow it shou*d not be tantpered with.

My Unc’es neighbors are scattered and I don’t think he wou’d speak about it,
for he wou'’d not want peop’e going bask to the wood over his grain fle"d.

If something did come down it wou’d be very hard to “ecate, since the fo"lacs
is no tha tress. .

Perhaps you wi’? know fron the information i? sonsthing did cone down.

My Unc’e said he watched it for two minutes after his Daughter ca™”’ed hime
Ee theught perhaps he weu'd gst a better “Sek if he went down in the yard. When
he wont down off the perch he had to pas3 the garages, and that *owered him about
seven feet, so he Best trace if it.

My Cousin watched from the porch, but she can’t say how it disappeared. It
cou7d be she took her eyes o?77 it just a second to “ook at her Dad. it coud
have f’oated down tha va""ey in tha wood or come down.

Thea *ecation wou'd be about a mi*o west of where the Sharon to Strendsburg
highway road grade is now coming ovt on road route 322, (lake-Te-Sea).

You wil* know if this if?ermation is of any Intrest to you. If you woud
"ixe to send soneone hereS my Brother or I wou"d meet you at sone p*ace, or
i? we are not ab*e to we woud ca”” sy Unc’?s p*ace and te”* hin « You can
go there and he no boubt woud te”” you everything he coud and woud take you
