Dear Sirs:
Enclosed are two copies of reports which I filed with NICAP. Aware of your
official policy in regards ports, I did not intend to notify you of
my sightings. However, upon reflection, I decided that vour official policy
and ycur pclicy of action may differ in other words I tend to beleive now
that ycu are seriously interested in UFo reports and that anything I can
contribute may be of value to you and to our nation. I don't care to receive
an answer from you, which would be doubtful anyway. I am sure the only kind
of respense you would make regardless the accuracy of he report would be
one of ridicule or some assinine attempt - to explain ther as weather balloons,
the planet Venus, or as an airplane.
I have often wondered if you are aware of the ridiculus position you have
put the Air Force in by lying about various aspects of UFO sightings such as
denying the fact that there has been radar trackings of UFo's. I am seriously
there is more than one way to lie - you can also do it by omission, or by
playing with technicalities.
In case your first reaction to my report is one of doubt, let me say a word
abcutmyself. I have been seriously interested in UFO's since 1947 when Kenneth
Arnold spotted UFOss over the State of Washington. Up until about a year ago
I always maintained an elenent of doubt about their actual existence. I
have always wanted to see one but never let this interest turn desire into
a sighting. Airplanes have always turned out to be airplanes, planets
remained planets. Ittock me 19 years to see something that firmly convinced
me that it may be a UFo. So don't attempt to explain my sighting as wishful
thinking. In any event, they are enclosed and I hope they will prove to be
of some value to you - if only in the determination of world pattern of
movenent or interest.
Sincerely,
