it occurred at a small airport and the duration was one aru one-
half minutes. Followup should have been made to determine whether
there were other potential witnesses. Since it occurred at mid-
night on December 28, it is possible that there were no ociier
. witnesses available. Must be carried as unidentified, siizie

witness.

15. 12 August 1965, Ramona, California.

One witness, duration of sighting only 15 seconds. ivi <ness
was a 67 year old lady. Sighting occurred at 9p.m. daylignu i
saving time in the middle of August, and thus the sky snoui:.
still have been reasonably bright. Witness said sighting occurred
at night and sky very blue. Perhaps she thinks that anytiii:.,
after 6 p.m. is night. Must be listed as unknown (meager caia,
single witness, very short duration).

I have in my files for 26 February 1966, Manchester, New

i8. 9 February 1967, Odessa, Delaware.

Since by an admitted breakdown in communications the Dover |
Air Force Base delayed some five months in investigating this case,

ali I have is the NICAP report. Evaluation pending my getting a
copy of the Air Force investigation of same. Based on NICAP

report, the sighting is obviously unidentified.
19. 12 February 1967, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I have only the card on this case, but judging from it there
seems to be a possibility that this one-witness case was caused

by low-flying birds reflecting light. The sighting lasted 4 to
10 seconds, and witness mentions a high-pitched chirping noise.

20. 1 April 1967, Wellington or Loco, Texas.

I had a great personal involvement in this case, much oc it

Honorable Sir:

Your indulgence, please.

My husband, Mr. » an avid reader of Popular Science, I for the first
true, decided to e through it. Was I surprised to find the UFO article

written by Mr. ie aaa in the January 1966 issue. It certainly
intrigues me, into writing is letter. Yes, I have heard and read of
Flying Saucers and wondered why I could not see one. Then it DID happen.

Am most interested to learn IF the one photographed by the TV newsman was
on August 12, 1965.

Our cat "Cleo", usually pepches herself on our rooftop, and I went out to
find her. This the night of August 12, at exactly 9 p.m. However, Cleo

was not there, and I, for some unknown reason continued to look on up into
the sky. The immediate area beautiful blue blue, with nary a cloud from

our corner of Third and Hillcrest Lane, to just beyond our Driveway on the
Lane, a distance of perhaps 200 feet. and at that point hung a huge billowy
cloud of white.

Suddenly from nowhere, since the pepper tree at the corner hides any dis-

tance beyond from vision. Behold! zooming through this beautiful corridor
of Blue Space, from the southwest, and following a perfectly straight line
above the Lane itself, came this object like saucer. I like to Liken what
I saw to a huge "Do-Nut": cloudlike gnowwhite, about 6-8 feet in diameter,
flat on bottom, sides rounded, top unseen, and appearing to have illumina-

tion within. It did not seem i | high in the sky, but tragelling so very
fast, toward northeast, and lost in the huge cloud afore mentioned, I saw

it no more. | j

I know very few people in this community, so m-4e little comment. Too,
today most peoples remain within and in fact I too, may have missed all of
this had it not been my wish to find Cleo."

Thank you so much your indulgence and if possible would you let me know
If that TV newsman saw his object the same night.

Seasons greetings and success in the field of UFO, be yours in 1956.

Sincerely yours, —
