Honorable Harold Brown
Secretary of the Air Force
. Department of Defense
Washington - D. C.
Dear Mr. Secretary: -
Enclosed is a copy of a letter addressed to me by
a ont friend and constituent, Que
of Fresno, California, concerning an
unidentified object viewed by Mr. QR and
his family on the night of August 8, 1965. [I
have suggested to him that he and his family may
have been looking at a planet, but I am not
familiar with the location of the planets on this
night at the hours mentioned,
As the Air Force is responsible for the invest-
- igation of phenomena of this nature, I would
welcome comments which I can convey to con-
stituent. I want you to know that nhc +
is a most responsible attorney and businessman,
not given to fantasy, and I have no doubt he has
accurately described his observations,
