Request for U UFC Information and
Hq USAF (SAFOICC) SEP 2 7 1988
Reference the attached letter from providing
information on unidentified flying objects. The following is a
suggested reply to his letter.
a. Dear
It was most interesting to learn your views on I probable
causes of some unidentified flying object reports. We feel that
many such observations are merely a result of abnormal atmos-
pheric conditions. Such an abnormal atmospheric condition could
nave occurred the night of l6 August l96ó, however, we do not
believe this to be the primary cause of your observation. believe this to be the primary cause of your observation.
Greenbelt, Maryland, we were informed that on that particular night
a rocket was launched from Fort Churchill, Canada at 2239 CDr. This
rocket reached an altitude of a approximately 247 miles; at a some-
what lower altitude there was a barium cloud release. The colors
must have been quite lovely as they began with a brilliant red
color which changed to a violet followed by and ending with a
greenish - blue. We were also informed that the cloud release was
visible in parts of Minnesota. This was later confirmed by
various tracking stations subordinate to Fort Churchill.
The Air Force received several reports from the Minnesota
area regarding the observation which you refer to. After careful
investigation our analysts feel that the particular research pro-
gram which we mentioned was responsible for the various observations.
We wish to thank you for your interest in the UFO program
and appreciated hearing and appreciated hearing from you. from you.
