Gentlemen, i ie tot Law’ Ya
(i AXA PA g
Enclosea is an itemized list about the strange appearance:
my wife hanvened to see when we were lounging in our house
balcony on the night of July <8th, 1960. This listing has
been based on the ATIC (Unitea States Air Force Technical
Information Sheet) Form A, Avnendix III of the bovwk of
"Fiving Saucers From Outer Space" by Mr. Donala &. Keyhoe,
Weliington, Alexandria, Va. (1954), and printed by Hutchinson
& Co., Lta., England, cirea 19685. Sinee I do not have any
other from I daiu not think it feasible to sena this only one;
ana 1 would lire to ada that I wouid be pleased if you might
kindly send me a few more of these forms in case I may need
them in the future.
This strance obdiect hsvrened to zoom above my onvnosite direc-
tion as I was facine mv sneaker in my easy chair anc of very
short duration (1.5 to 2% seeoncs) so that I coula not see it
but its awesome efrect was most astonishing to observe as I
was remarked "Hii !.. Wnat is This?", aimost swal:owing her
small toneue. Alzrmes as I wae 1 triea to watch the sky and
Somy ecurerise I eoutsa cetert two other objects during the next
2j minutes which migh* rverbacs be resenmb!ieqa to s:idinzg stars,
the first one being larcer than the serona one, high arouna
the zenitse, at avnvrox. lv minutes intervals 2no of still shorter
. Gurations in other direetions of the first sighting listed on
the at-achment.
Tt is witn the hope that this information mignt be o* some use
for your investigations I am sending this letter.
