Dear Colonel Manatt:
Last evening I saw what I can only call an unidentified flying object
a bout
Enclosed is a chart showing the south end of Long Beach Island and
Little Egg Harbor Bay. On the chart I have indicated approximately where we
first sighted the object over the Bay in the northwest, the easterly course it
took and approximately where the object went straight up and d disappeared.
The sky above and in the r northwest was cloudy - high, dark clouds.
The object appeared suddenly in the northwest, approximately a mile and a half
or two miles over the Bay. Using a landmark, it suddenly appeared over Shelter
Island. The object was very brilliant and about the size of a golf ball and
was moving toward the east, parallel to the earth. We see many planes flying
both high and low and one can see their fore and aft and either or both port
and starboard lights. However, we could see none of these lights on the object.
I looked through the binoculars and saw the object quite, in fact, navel?
very clearly and it then appeared as big as a large Naval orange and had a
shape of a cigar or mushroam top and I could discern what seemed to be windows.
Mother then took the binoeulars and followed the object as it moved easterly
and very suidenly the object moved up out of f her range of vision and disappeared
in the clouds. I watched it with my naked eye and saw the object vanish. We
waited for fifteen or twenty minutes but it never e-appeared.
This morning I called the Coast Guard in Beach Haven, the State Police
Barracks in Tuckerton and also Frank Klein of the Long Beach I Island Board of Trade
to ascertair anyone else saw the object and to try to get more information
a bout it.
Please do let me know the cation of the
object we saw Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
P.S. At the time we saw the abovemontioned object, the wind was blowing from
the southwest, which I checked out with the Coast Guard log.
