Dear Colonel Gates:
I had a Marinette policeman call me Wednesday evening, March
30th at 8:55 p.m. ified ying object.
The object was flying south at an altitude of s something
above 5,000 feet. The object had rotating red and green lights
and other colors and seemed to be moving up, down, sideways,
backwards and forwards as well as forward. It flew in a general
southwesterly and southerly direction.
The sighting Marvin Erdmann, a the
Marinette City Police Department.
the UFO.SO he called
me, appa of someone.
I frankly do is,
whether they should be made to the nearest Air Force base or
Area Commander, etc. Perhaps, it would be well to determine
this and issue instructions to the Wing membership in your next
Wing bulletin as to where these items might be reported and
what data should be reported with them.
Very sincerely yours,
with
Michael J.Anuta,
Lt. Col. - CAP
Commander, Area One
