U.S. Air Force Academy
Colorado Springs, Colo, Attn: Set. re: unknown aircraft

Dear Sir:

About a week ago my husband called you concerning some

unknown objects that we saw in the Sky. If you found any-

thing out about these objects, we are certainly curious to
know anything that you could tell us about them. There
certainly was something there, moving fairly fast, standing
still and then meving Slowly, in the case of the one object.
The other two obects didn't move as far as we could tell.
Cne of them was in the clouds part of the time, tut the
other one was in plain view. We watched them at. least for
an hour, from sunset until it was completely dark, and there
was certainly no mistaking them for a Star, and through our
field glasses the closest one appeared to be black and red
on the end. Anyway if you can give us any information on

them, we would certainly appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,

P.S. We also called one of our neighbors who lives about

five miles up the road frem our place and they saw several

”
‘

of these objects in different places also.
