the nights of July 31 through August 3, 1965. am hoping that your report,
best 3 few phone calls will help us tie a
great many loose ends together. It is entirely possible that sonething of
considerable scientific value may came out of this investigation. I there-
fore earnestly solicit your cooperation. I imagine you and your friends
are as anxious as I am to solve this mystery. I can assure I can assure you that I will you that I will

greatly.

sequence plot of altitudes and azimuths, and close passages to stars. Per-
haps you can still do this from memory. Are you going to visit in Valentine,
Nebraska again n this summer? If so, it might be interesting to "re-enact the
crime" with the sky setting the same. Might I ask questions as a
starter?
I assume that objects A, Bi and Ci were concurrently
visible for a portion the night of August 2-3, and that only object D
was isible on the night of August 3-4. Is this correct?

TRUCK DRIVER CHASED BY FLYING SAUCER IN KANSAS: One of the WeirdeSt in- of the weirdest in-
cidents of the current world-wide flap occurred about 25 miles south of Abi-
lene, Kansas, shortly before 2 a.m. on the morning of August 4th. Don Tenno-
pir, a truck driver from Beatr reported that he was driving
north on Highway 15 when all Lohts suddenly went out. Just then, a
a "sizzling or wind-like blowing
flying saucer passed over The mysterious object was only 20 feet above the
sound," scaring him greatly truck. Tennopir screeched on his
ground, and about loo feet in front of the
breaks, thinking that the UFo was going to land right on the road; but it mov-
ed on toward the south and west.
The object was i5 feet in diameter, orange in color, and was shooting
off reddish rays of some sort. It seemed to be about two feet thick, with a
four-foot-high hump or dome in the middle. This protrusion may have had a win-
dow in it; but Mr. Tennopir, who was completely unnerved by the axperience,
was not sure on this point.

are undoubtedly stars or planets, however stars do not generally
fall in an upward dir ection, neither do they move at low level

is that the lights and moving objects are due in some way to the
temperature inversions which existed at the time.

or merely a light source. Reported sizes vary from that a pinhead
to a nickel when seen by the naked eye, and from the
a half dollar when seen through binoculars. Where s ghtings involved
more than one object, V-shaped, echelon, cross, box and tail-shaped
formations were reported. On August lst, there was one daytime report,
from a civilian source in Cheyenne, an oblong object tumbling
through the sky and in the distance becoming two objects before

The sightings in question came in during the early days of August from Kansas, Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyoming. In addition to numerous
radar sightings, there were dozens of reports by private citizens as well as police. But the
Air Force stated, after a very superficial investigation, that the sightings were probably
of the planet Jupiter or the stars Rigel, Capella, Betelgeuse, or Aldeberan.

years experience, who claims to have personally met
two occupants of a flying saucer. The newsman, named
Gabriel Rubens Hellwig, says that he saw a UFo the

crew telepathically, he claims. They informed him that they come from another
solar system, and they seemed very intelligent. No further details are given
