Additional Notes: Thursday night shortly aftor lOPM ani Mr
went up to Look for the object , at the advice of Major F Friedd. They were
informed as to the time anilocation that the object would appear, They went up at
1020 M and reported no , sighting. Ir was the passanger on the socond flight
that Mr made. (Sighting on 5 July). Subsequent to the third flight ( Thureday
10Jul,y) no additional information Was given to the press by theso gentlemen, They
reported that they had not observed the phenomona, however it seems logical that they
would have made luch ado had the Air Force been "yrong", especially in view of Mr.
concern with the UFC Program.
