To the Herald-Journal:
I am writing to you in reference to the ar-
ticle entitled, "UFO sightings" that was
printed in the Oct. 30 edi-
tion.
On the night of Oct. 26, In
1966, I observed 1966, 1 observed a a mere mere

somewhat unusual somewhat unusual manner. your your

was intrigued by the object
and drove over to a friend's house. He stud-
ied it for a time and some of his relatives
were witnesses to it also. were witnesses to it also.
I called Hancock Airport and a man an-
swered politely and asked mhe what I was swered politely and asked me what I was
calling for. At first I told him or rather
asked him if he had had any sightings or
knew of any research missions in the area.
He said no. Then I inquired as to the laws
regarding lights on planes. He said they were
required-both Air Force and commercial-
to have flashing lights. I then told him what
I have stated so far. He then stated that
there are not, never have been any such
I things as UFOs.
. My point is this:
, When a person has alleged to have e seen
something the only reaction he ever receives
from the monitors at Hancock Field is one of
scorn and negative views. I don'ti maintain
that there are UFOs but maybe some of
these people who have seen something
whether it be of this earth or not should be
listened to out of courtesy y and because
maybe the facts do exist.
