Dear Sirs
Several nights I have been observing the sky,
I have seen a moving object. Could you please tell me

what it may be? It shines about like Echo, it also

appears in the west about the same place, one wollld
see Echo in the low North I believe you call it, mt
then instead of g-ing across the sky into the east,
it travels south,at the same time every other night |
aproxk&mently 9:05 sighting and out of sight at 9315

the time differential convinces me,it is not Echo.

the change of travel also does not line up. So0000000
what is it?

Tnanking you for your time

Mrs, Ca ee ee
sti Rr ton, Ind,

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

Dear TS eR

Your recent letter to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration has been referred to the Air Force for reply.

I have enclosed a questionnaire which we would appreciate
your filling out and mailing to us in the enclosed pre-addressed,
envelope which requires no postage.

We do not have an Echo satellite schedule at the moment.
However, this schedule is sent to the wire services for passing
to the news media throughout the nation. I would recommend that
you contact your local newspaper and request they run this schedule, or
if they cannot do this, to give you the information so that you
may look for the satellite. The period of orbit, apogee and paragee,
vary, as you know.

Your interest in this matter is appreciated.
\

Sincerely, | 7
