area which might possibly account for the sighting:
K. Position, title and comments of the preparing officer:
I talked to Mrs minutes on the telephone. She would offer no
more information than is presented in Mr. Letter. There is no physical
evidence with whih to conduct an investigaion.
I offered Mrs. several possible explanations of what she and her
husband sew. They are both UFO enthusiasts and feel they saw something unusual.
However, there are numerous air routes and airports around the area. The
overwhelming amount of evidence available whould point to aircraft in flight.
Especially so in view the strong inversion layer in the area of the observation.
