Reference your recent correspondence in which you mentioned your
son's unidentified i observation on June 19 and subsequent photographs.
Additional information on his sighting and the original negatives
are r needed to perform a scientific investigation. Request your son
complete the attached photographic data sheet and FTD Form 164 and
return them with your original negatives. Upon completion of
analysis will return th negatives tographs along with
our findings.
