I took my first
picture the night the flares were in such nunbers and of such size
and going towards the airport. The haugie air port that night burnt
down. The flares were being shot from the west corner of our
intersection here and from across the lake WNw of here. These flares
are also aimed at airolanes in flight. I've reported them to the
Illinois State Security office, local police, and sherriff's office --
and the civil defense office (and aopareatly the sheriff's office tho
seeing the pictures still did not believe this was so).
Here recently I've tried to take some more pictures of flares
going towards the planes at night and I had odd results. All my
pictures are having the sare result. I'm enclosing these pictures and
believe its really subversives at work in our country. and they seem
to be trying to affect a fake radiation.scare. I've had these pictures
examined and they tell me in a oicture of a "hot object" I told them
I did not understand the meaning of heat - hot - I did get stings and
deep muscle crarps from these areas and they said I would if expesed
to them.
My dogs apparently have tracked this prowlers at night and
now these beams are hitting my dogs ard cat. One dog's eyesight is
affected.? The 2nd dog has begun developing tumors that are possibly rn1
cancerous on his tail. and now my cat's ege is affected. These beams
at all levels are colors of orange, blue, white, pale beige and a few
red and greenish beams also the beams are distinctly are aimed at
U. S. Route 36 additionally. I've encountered such things all the way
to Springfield, Illinois, and here rece tly when I flew to St. Louis
I've seen chemical flares enroute and all around the Springfield airport.
aimed at the Captiol bldg and we have such flares around our local
would suggest. Mr. Springer I want to add at times of election these
previously named conditions increase teriffically I believe this is a
very serious interference with our American way of living. I would
appreciate a reply. Very sincerely, Dorothy A. Hott
