Dear Mi
Thank you for your letter of 26 Jamuary 1965 and the box with the
"batches" of material. The material which you found and sent to me
is "Radar Chaff". This material 18 dropped by military aircraft in
the vicinity of radar station. This i8 done to confuse the Radar
Operators 80 that they can penetrate the Radar Defense. Evidently,
they must have had a radar exercise in your area and the wind maist
have blowm the material onto your farn. We wish to thank you for
calling this chafi to cur attention.
Since
