Dear and
This is in reply to your letter of January 15,
1964, in which you were kind enough to send the Alr
Force the report of a sighting of
Flying Object
Argentina.
While this report has been of great interest to
the Air Force, it is believed not feasible to initiate
an investigation due to the length that has
passed since witnessed this sighting, and
also because of the expense involved in conducting a
field investigation.
and, of partieular value, any information
from an additional witness or witnesses. Previous in-
vestlgations by the Air Force of cases similar to this
one have never resulted any seientific or physical
proor that contact had actually been made with beings
from outer space.
Inclosed is a brochure which lists several of the
1963 reports which were investigated by the Air Force.
There are no photographs available for release on this
subject.
We appreciate your sending this case to the Air
Force, and it will be carried in the Air Force files
with an evaluation of 11 Insufficient Data."

of previous cases of alleged contacts with assumed beings from outer

actual occurrence. The general tone of story indicates
occurrence was real and no evidence of a hoax is presented. However,
psychiatric examination would be necessary to confirm or refute this
theory. Also it is possible that eceived a blow on his
