Sirs:
I take pleasure in sending you some information I believe will
be of great help to you, as well as a suggestion.
Approximately six months ago I was lying down, resting - on a
clear and sunny day with a beautiful blue sky - when I looked through
the window and saw, in the sky, at a considerable distance, an object
in space, of the shape of a very large star. It had a brilliant platinum
color. From it was suspended a tail or track and at the end it had
a red ticket [7 - “boleta”] which could be noted at a great distance.
I sat up to otserve it and followed it with my eyes. It continued
to rise to a high altitude until it was lost from sight. There were
no clouds. The sky was clear and brilliant. I am sending you this
information for your study and consideration.
The suggestion I want to make pertains to how your government
can save siillions of dollars which could ve used to fortify and
prepare your cases and territories. It could suspend the allotments
paid to the relatives of soldiers in service in time of peace. I
am doing this because I love your great country deeply and I would
like to say that my husband is retired, with thirty-three years of
service.
Respectfully yours,
[signed]
