cS Dear Bob,

Everything is fine with the flying saucers. Have made one
reas TDY trip to Northwestern with Capt Quintanilla regarding UFO's.
= A committee of three graduate students has been formed at
sd Northwestern to reevaluate 1963 sightings. In some way ve

=x might come up with some area where the Air Force falls short
— either in investigations or evaluations.

vu I have enclosed om of the cases from Jan 1963 where there
Y is some difference in opinion as to the cause of the sighting.

Perhaps a note from you might enlighten us. Now I will see if
your pupil learned his lesson (that's me).

Played a team game with Dan as partner and John Dooley as
opponent; we managed to finish 3rd. Scrivens claims Dooley
kicked six boards. JI was busy scoring and didn't get a chance
to recap. I thought we had a pretty good game.

I am working at Sear's three nights a week, so the bridge
is confined’ to Sunday games.

Saw Jacoby in the Cincinnati regional; he sends his regards.

Hope everything is going well for you and the family. Give
my regards to Anna.

Dear Sirs,

My wife and I own and operate a small motel here in Nantucket Point out on the
tip of Long Island, New York. We operate winter and summer, and in winter
occasionally sent to transient workers or personnel working at one of your
radar bases here at the Point.

The Long Island Rail Road has its last station here about 3/4 mile from here.
Adjacent to it "Republic Aerospace” has a small warehouse installation.

A Mr. QUO, who works for the L.I.R.R. on car maintenance, and who
resides here with his wife, came to me with a strange story one morning.

Incidentally this young man has been with us about 3 weeks, is a good worker,
sober and as far as I can see, reliable.

His story was about the elusive "flying saucer." I myself here never seen one
and probably never will in the foreseeable future. Mr. QQQMMBMMMbegtelked about
it to me, and I guessed he had seen a flash of something, an illusion or reflec-
tion--another fleeting glimpse, unstable vision or hallucination; but when he
told me he had this object close to and above him for about a whole hour; then
I had him repeat the story in detail--

SO on the night shift beginning Jan 4th 7:30 p.m. to dawn of
5th. He was busy filling the tanks on the train at about 3 a.m. of Jan 5--

moon was way down, with a cloud passing cver it now and then. The engines

He ahpvvened to look up from his work, and hovering above him at what he estimated
to be about 100 feet was this craft, as he described it, perfectly round, in
thickness, like two saucers placed against one another; thicker in the middle

and tapering toward the edge.

Because or the moonglow, and the clearness of the night, the shining metal struc-
ture was clearly visible. On top of the object, in the center, was a plume of
bright blue light, like an exhaust of some sort.

He estimated it to be about 75 feet across its diameter. Every once in a while
it would execute a series of runs (7), flips and maneuvers in all directions, at
times at terrific speeds close to the ground, but never lower than about "500
feet to 1000 feet."

He said he saw no signs of any ports (?) or windows or lighting on it, outside

constantly in warm=up, so any sounds the object could have made were deadened.

(Continued) Ltr. — -§ to USAF Intelligence Bureau

Mr. i he got the feeling that this "craft" was watching him, or
the whole operation. Suddenly about 300 yards away, one of ae night guerds

for Republic Aircraft drove up in his car, and got out to punch the clock on

his rounds, and the craft slid over in that direction and hovered over that area
for awhile, until the guard left. (This is a well lighted area, and the guard
was seen to look up at the sky, but chances are the lights of the building
blinded him. It is not known yet whether any of the guards there saw anything

that night. MrA@M§— does not know any of the men working guard duty at
Republic Aerospace.

Finally, after about an hour of maneuvering, (at times he felt it was so close,
it seemed you could almost reach out and touch it) an air-lines or large jet of
some sort was headed by; and just as the plane, flying at about 15,000 feet
arrived overhead. This craft zoomed straight up, at a terrific speed, and as
its shape blanked out the plane's running lights, he thought for sure that there
would be a crash, but it seemed to swerve off at the last minute. This happened
around 4 a.m.

Then, after skirting the plane, it took off at a low altitude toward the West,
or in the general direction of New York City. As it was leaving, one of
es ee co-workers came out of the train and he saw it leaving as a
"moving bright star."

Mr. Wig? was shaken by the experience, and his only reaction was "if some-
thing like this has to happen, let it be on some one else's shift."

Well, that's the story as I got it; if there are other witnesses, we haven't
looked for any or said any thing about it, as most would laugh at some thing like
this; as unbelieveable or plain hog wash, but inasmuch as, the man watched this
for about an hour, and there may be others who saw this; I thought it would be
worth while writing about it.

On the other hand, if this is the result of any government experimental work or

project, forget about this letter, and as far as * @i concerned the story ends
right here; if not, I hope you will investigate tne incident.

Thank you for listening.
Sincerely
