To Whom it May Concern:
I awoke this morning at 6:oo and looked out the window and sew
an extremely bright light in the S. E. At first I thought it
was a star but after watching a while I noticed it
moved around. I don't believe in flying saucer stories
but there must be some explanatior The object appeared to be
apx. l30 S. E. of compass N (just a cheap compass) at apx
2 o'clock. Last seen at apx 6:35.
