Dear Sir:
On two recent evenings - April 3 and ll - beginning at about 9:30, other
members of my family and I saw what appeared to be a UFo hovering at undeter-
mined height near my home some
At first At first sighting, the object sighting, the object resembled a bright, low-hanging resembled bright, low-hanging star. It star. It
remained in view for about assuming a reddisl pulsating
glow, disappeared over the horizon in a n resterly direction.
I merely mention it in passing. and don't know whether there would be
any relationship or not, but some sheep that ar barn seemed to
become quite restless during this phenomenon.
According to reports, others in Preble County, Chio, and Wayme County,
Indiana have seen the same, or other similar object. I would be glad to dis-
cuss the matter further, should you care to contact me at the above address.
Yours truly,
