Deer Sirs:

I am 14 years old and I am very inter-
ested in rockets and UFO's,

On Sept. 2,1 saw a late movie on fly-
ing saucer reports.

This was what I needed to tell me that | |
the object that flew over Cincinnati
might have been a "Flying Saucer."

One of the UFO's in this movie changed
its-color as it traveled through the air.
iy it changed form white to amber.

I saw the UFO when it first came out of
the northeast and headed southwest,

It was traveling every bit as fast as the
Echo satellite travels.

In the movie I was telling you about, the
object changed color. When I first saw
the UFO it was white and was heading
toward Cincinnati.

I would like to know if you think that j

this object could be like the one in the
movie,

I would also like to know if you know
what it is or would you cali it a UFO.

Thank you very much.
Yours truly, |
