Director,
Unidentified Flying Objects Office
Department of the Air Force
Washington
I would like to pay my respects to.the Director of A.M.C. [sic]
and establish friendly ties with him.
I would appreciate your opinion of the account I am giving you
below.
There is a growing unrest in my city as the result of a radio
program broadcast by the privately owned station LT-9, Radio Santa Fe,
which is heard throughout the Republic and in neighboring countries.
The program, entitled "A traves del cable" [by cable], is directed
by a group of prominent radio newsmen. On this program, a request was
made to the public for an account from someone who has seen a flying
saucer. A letter was received from a prominent citizen who did not
give his neme or address.
Here is this man's account:
First he explains that he is a quiet person and in good health.
He says that on the 18th of August, 1961, he was driving his car
slowly along the road to Santa Fe, the road called "Camino de la Costa",
at 11 p.m., at a point approximately 60 km from Santa Fe, where there
are trees on one side and water on the other. Suddenly, his car |
stopped, the lights went out and the portable radio went silent. He
wished to check the bottom of the car, but the flashlight did not work.
Therefore, he went to seek help and walked towards a light before hin, |
on one side of the road, believing it was a country house. As he got
nearer, the light became brighter, to his survrise, so he hid among
the bushes and shrubs and approached gradually. When he got near to
the source of the light he saw a space ship approximately 60 m long |
and approximately 30 m high. It had the shape of a flying saucer,
just as those shown in the magazines and movies. He said that there
were some 15 beings surrounding the saucer who, at that moment, seemed
to push someone up 2 ladder to the saucer, a person who, judging by
GELS wieibRow sedi uraimed ees =~ ee ee ee
FRAME 003 / 008tesseract-200dpi
the clothes he wore, was a laborer or tramp. According to this man's
account, these beings wore a yellow or cream-colored suit, completely
sealed, a helmet from which rose two antennas inclined sideways. A-
round the antennas were substances that looked like snow, shining like |
glass.
a O
Around the saucer were about twelve openings, presumably exhausts
for the engines of the ship.
The crew of the ship looked like earthmen, very white skin, blonde.
They were surrounded by something like a giant glass bubble. They
uttered a kind of shrill sound - presumably they were talking among
themselves. Once the laborer had been taken in, all these beings entered,
the ladder was drawn up and the engines of the ship began to mn
immediately. After a few minutes, the saucer took off and left a
track of light which changed color as the ship flew away. After this,
the car worked, as did the radio and the flashlight.
This man says that after he went through this experience he had
his head examined by a specialist who told him that he is in perfect
health and that his nervous system did not undergo any change.
This is all he said about what he saw. I would appreciate your
opinion with regard. to it. Also, if possible, please send me illustrated
pamphlets or photographs of previous cases, so that I can collaborate
with the radio station and with you, since many stories are being received |
by mail. Thus ties of friendship could be formed and collaboration |
between the "Department of Investigation" you direct and the group of
newsmen I mentioned before.
I await your reply and remain,
respectfully yours,
ACE,
