Dear Sir: il
-
entitled "Flying Saucers" I found on page 62 of this issue the .
summon to report to the United States Air Force Base the sigh-
tings which are with all probability the so cailed UFO-S. :.
I don,t use the official US Air Force UFO form
given in the Look, but I try to write down what have seen.
On March Il Saturday in the afternoon I returned
home with the bus line Nr.63 Shore Road (Verrazano bridge)
along te 5th Avenue in Southbrooklyn.I descended 'from the bus
near tie 23-d Street and began to walk home along the 23-d Street -
(between the 5th and 4th Avenues).It was about 4.45 or 5 PM as
I walded close to the playground between 5th and 4th Ave- in
.
that spot I had a good survey (Uberblick) to the western side
fruit (seen in the distance

attention.
I have enclosed a copy of his letter to the Base I have enclosed a copy of his letter to the Base Commander at Stewart AFB, NY. Commander at Stewart AFB, NY.
