Dear Colonel Freeman:
I apologize for not replying to your sooner, however,
I I am on an extended TDY and your
I would like to clarify couple of points relating to my
observation of November 8, l966. I was told by the debriefing
officer immediately after the incident that I was not submitting
a UFO report but rather an umusual Incident Report. I was in
full agreement with this and was not aware that I had submitted full agreement with this and was not aware that I had submitted
a UFO report until I received your correspondence. Somsone
apparently changed this without my knowledge.
I agree fully with your conclusion that aircraft could have
been responsible for this observation. This was my stated opinion
to the debriefing officer. I stated that I believed this observa-
tion to be two small aircraft in formation.
I hope this will clear up amy qu
this observation.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Bond
Captain, USAF
