Gentlemen:
Reference is made to your letter of 4 April l966. There
is as slight misunderstanding on your part as to who saw the
jects e evening March 1966.
My neighbor's who is a deaf-mute
requested that I report Griffiss AFB for him. I personally
did not see the object did not see nside the house watching TV TV
at the time.
I gave my gave my blank blank FTD Form 164 FTD Form 164 him to use
for his file copy of the sighting report.
