Dear Mrs. Qe
Possibly by now qggyinmem, or someone of

nis of fice nas contacted you with the results or
cheir investization of the heart-snaped desizn on
your lawn. Im case he hasn't, we have seen inrormed
that laboratory analysis indicated the matertal on
the grass to be eggs of a species of grass fly.

Thank you very much for reporting this case as
1t 13 an unusual hapcening with an unusual answer,
and does add to our fund of knowledge concerning
unusual hapoenings that are frequently attributed to
Flying Saucers.

Cordialiy,
