Dear Major:
I am enclosing the equatorial crossing sheetyfor Echo I and Echo II for
the year 1964, to the present. I shall send you copies of the new sheets
as they come along, as I have a good reason now to believe they will.
With reference to the Altus, Oklahoma sighting, 21 May 1964, that definitely
has proved to be Echo II, as reference to the enclosed sheets will show. I
believe the identification is positive.
he case of the Northwestern student from Elmhurst, Illinois is in abeyance,
The student is no longer here but is now resident in the Virgin Islands,
Since his sighting was very likely an aircraft, I don't think we need to
pursue that one any further, The sighting, in any case, contained very little
information, and it does not seem profitable to try to get more out of this
chap at the present time. Since we have gone this far, however, if you feel
it worthwhile, my gang and I here can send a letter off to him to see what
it might bring forth. But I don't think it's mech worthwhile.
What are your plans on coming to visit us? I would suggest the week of
December 7.as the one following I am scheduled to be in Austin, Texas for
@ few days, and during the first week in December, I shall be in New
Mexico,
With respect to the Altus case, would it not be a good idea to drop a note
to Mr. GB 21 em + let them know that they had seen Echo II? Good
inter-Air Force relations.
Sincerely yours,
Chhwr
J. Allen Hynek
