correspondence on your unidentified
observation August 26, 1967 Although we have written to
six other witnesses on ighting, you were the only one
to reply. Your description is similar to other reports we have
received on sightings garment bag hot air balloons. These
balloons usually appear as two objects, one on top of the other.
and the upper dull glowing object is the garment bag. Some-
times the heat source is birthday candles. When the candles
burn down, the platform catches on fire causing the object to
rise,and as it rises, sparks and pieces of burning debris fall,
but usually burn out before they hit the earth. Shortly after
the sparks st to fall, the object disappears. The usual
or white.
2 All of the above is consistent with your sighting. However,
on your form you indicate that the objects traveled f from the NNE
to E3E, but the surface winds were roughly from the southwest.
3. We would like to know if you are positive that the objects
went in the direction as indicated on your form. Could the
objects have possibly been traveling toware he northeast?
