Gentlemen:
I: am very interested in U.F.O.sighting's in my
own State. There have been eS in my own Town, I
have seen two, and my friend has seen them too.
I would be very glad if you would send me some
information on the U.F.0O's, Also I would like to know
how many States they have been seen in. I have read books
on this subject and find them very interesting.
| I read an article in my home Town paper which
q ie Titled "@hasing Flying Saucers" By George Fawcett.
There is information there, but not as much as I would
like. Please send me any thing you have on this Subject
as Iwould like to know more about them . Thank You.
Yours Truly
