Reference the attached letter from Mr requesting
ied observations.  Te following is
a suggested reply:.
Dear Mr
We have checked the satellite sehedule on the Echo and
Pegasus satellites for the night of 4 October l965 and find
that only Pegasus I was in the area. Iowever, this satellite
was noving Southeast and not Northeast. There are move than
thirty satellites of third magnitude or brighter orbiting the
COY Earth at this time. It is quite likely that one or these other
0.1y satellites or space debris was observed.
satellite. It is possible that this red coject wns a high-rlying.
aircrart. Without specific date and time, no check can bermerie or
these objects.
All kmown satellites have orbital flighis with an easterly
component whether Hortheast or Southeast and have visual character-
istics similar to "a moving star. " We are attaching a list of some.
of the visible satellites and a brochure which explains the Air
Force project on unidentified flying objects.

l. The objects were too high to be planes, their lights also
were steady without blinking.
2. The red object was traveling away from the white object and
thus looked as if it came from it.
3. Could this red object be a reentering capsule of
information from one of our satilites? That there were
two sightings of the same course seems to clearly
justify that it is a satilite. Thisevakmy husband's
oonjeeture.
We would be very interested to kmow if there is an officlal
record of the satilite and the "reentering capsule", Or is.
there another more olausible ekplanation? Thank you.
Sincerely
