Reference the attached letter from QQ requesting information
on unidentified flying objects. Records reveal no previous correspondence
from bim. The following is a suggested reply:

Dear Mr gammy

‘Reference your letter of 5 Apr 65, addressed to the Air Force
Systems Command at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Your letter has been
referred tothis office for action. .

Your statement, with regards to classifying UFO reports “SECRET”,
4@ incorrect. Project Blue Book is an unclassified project, therefore,
there is no need to classify UFO sightings submitted to the Air Force
Citizens are free to discuss any phase or their sighting with whomever |
they wish. The allegation that the Air Force supresses “UXO information
is ‘just no true. This: allegation has been repmated cver and over again
by self-styled experts who consider thuareives authorities. on the UFO
phenomena. The UFO filles at Wright-Patterson have always been made
available to bona fide news representatives and scientific researchers.
Press releases are issued aswarrented, and an annual. report on the project
is available to the public.

~. You refer to a June 1964 sighting at Pease AFB, Maine. By the way,
Pease A¥5 is located in New Hampshire. We have no record of any sightings
from Pease APB in Jume 1964. We have only one sighting from the New
Ergland area in June 1964. This sighting occurred on 5 June 19465 over
Massachusetts and it was determined to be a meteor observation. A
pessible reason that we did not get a UFO report from Pease AFB is that
the Pause itself, during their investigation, was able to identify the
sighting to a known phenomena or stimtlus. In this case, the Base is mot

“obligated to submit a report; because the case is one of an ‘identified

Plying object” ascoposed to a UFO. My experience with the press has been
that they will not give any press coverage to sightings of this type.
Its their peregative to use the information as they wish.

. The Air Force philosophy towards UFOs is contained in the attached
"Project Blue Book Fact Sheet”.

Perhaps it is trus that all reports are entered under the label of "SECRET?

if so Il would like to have some concrete reason for this action, A casa in point
is the sighting in June of 1964 at Pease Air Force Base in Maine. These sighttngs
were turned over to the foreign technological division of the Air Force Sys-

NEAR@LANOING IN ARGENTINAs Although this incident occurred in eare,
ly June of last ysar, it has only recently reached us from Henning von Hippel,
our cetssspoendent in Argentina. The witnasses to this most unusual UFO sighte
ing were three distinguished man who wera driving on a highway near Tucunan.

Thay were Doctor Juan Modrano, ex-president of tha Legal Col- i Se
lega; Jose Luis Cervino, 2 professor of engineering; and Vin= sik xe TE
centa 2. Pellicer, formet manager of a corporation in Tucuman. SLF2 PF

At about 11:30 at night, they spotted the odd cbject shown in FF FT
the crewing at the right. It was, according to thair descrip- Ts A
tion, a reddish-orange in color, and rectangular in shape, Mee

with ciearly-da?ined black Lines crossing tha uppar part. Lathe
Smok@ cr exhaust of scme sort was coming out of ths top, as
sSown in the drawing. The UFO was flying at low altitude, and

sas visible only for brisf moments at a time, as it was hidden | _—

by trees during most of its Flight. Finally, howevar, it came

Cown tight over the road, and all thres men Pinally got a claar look at it. It
was adout five yatds high and six yards wide, according to the witnesses. All
three agreed on every datail of their dascription. The object did not land,

but continuad on its way at a speed of about 100 miles per hour, and was again
out of sight in a few seconds.

readers wrote and telephoned the paper to draw
its attention to a Pathé newsfilm, then being

another and similar “‘shape’’ appeared. The film

“sun” is a circular object by no means as clearly

again, the arguments run that it is “a trick of
light”? while the photographers point out that the
film camera was ‘‘hooded” to prevent such.
