Gentlemen:

As spokesmen for the Zoologica} Astronomical Terra-

nautical Association 1, Miss Que, and the
President, Miss eg: << there ia a matter

that shoula come to your attention. We would like to re-
port two celestial occurrences which neither tne cayden
Planetarium, nor the Weatner Bureau, nor any of the news-
papers cvuulu satisfactorily explain.

the first incident was seen by botn «iss Xosen and
myself, on July 2, 1962. The object iu tne sxy took the
form of a lignted elactric light bulb. it had no tail,
but it .ave $he appearance of making a streak benind it
as any rapidly woving light does. It was seen in Manhat-
tan, above Central Park iiall at approximately 9:30.

It seemed very low in tne shy\e.g. slightly lower than
standara airplanes). It went from east to west, but

it aid not come from tne horizon. it moved a snort dis-
tance near tue pointers of vw.rsa wiajor, and taen vanished.

The secona inciaent was seen by anodbér member,

anc myself. It took place at approximately 9:45, on

July 9, 1962. ‘the object in point was the size of the
average star as it appears to us, and it was nigh in the
esky. it was viewed from a point in Wentral BP ark near
72na. St. It travelleua from horizon to norizon , the
Southwest, to the Northeast. It was very similar to
the Echo satelite of last year.

We feel it necessary to bring this information
to you. We hope you will quench our thirst for knowled.e
concerning tne matter at hand by explaining, if possible,

these two incicents.

Sincerely,

Presx
