Dear
This replies to your recent letter concerning your obser-
vation of an unidentified flying object (UFo) on August 10.
We are unable to offer an explanation because of insufficient
data. Essential information, such as detailed flight characteristics,
westher lnformation, and angular velocities are needed in any scien-
tific investigation of a reported UFO sighting. Had you reported
your observation to the nearest military installation at the time,
an evaluation would have been possible. The local UFo investigator
is in a far better position to conduet an on-the-spot investigation. er position to conduet an on-the-spot investigation.

Dear Sir:
sighting: I should appreciate any comment you may make on the following
Las' highe during the period of approximately 2300 to 2315 Last night during the period of approximately 2300 to 2315
plus or minus 5 minutes Sastern Daylite Time, I cbserved an unusual object.
I aceidentally observed a celestial object having the apparent magnitude
of Venus, elevation approkimately 60 degrees above the West SotbhWest hori-
zon moving in an approximately Southgast direction but at a speed of perhaps
one third of that of the Echo satelitesin fact it moved so slowly that I
became slightly bored and went to bed. This is a rural community and altho became slightly bored and went to bed. This is a rural community and altho
I felt a strong urge to communicate with some authority or other, I realized
South of New York City. South of New York City. that there is none within 50 miles of here. I am approximately 50 miles due
The noteworthy feature of this object was that it appeared to be a
twin cevice but frequently the two images coincided. The best way I can
deseribe it is that it resembled a celestial dog fight. My first sighting
was with the naked eye. I then used a pair of 8X binoculars which simply
innpeased the brillianee but continued to show the tumbling interchanging of
positions. Sunset had cecurred about 3 hours prior to the sighting so I
suppose the distance from Earth was more than 200 miles;(I don't know the
formula for caleulating minimum altitude from a given spot on Earth to a
point in space that will be illuminated by the Sun 3 hours after sunset.)
Today I phoned the Smithsonian Observatory, Cambridge, Mass.
to ask if any similar sightings had been reported and was disappointed
when I was told that there had been none reported.
So? I am 99.9% sure that the object(s) was not a manned aireraft.
Ferhaps it was a rocket with a booster casing within a few miles of it.
When I ceased observing,the objeet(s) was approximately 80 degrees above
the South SouthEast horizon. As you can see from the attached schedule
of Echo I and II there is no resemblance to those trajectories, and in
any case, why the twins? any case, wrythetwins?
I am employed by the U S Army as an Electronics Engineer in I am employed by the U S Army as an Electronics Engineer in
communications but my purpose in making inquiry is almost entirely personal
curiosity, - plus wondering why nobody else reported a sighting to the
Smithsonian Observatory. As I ended my vigil the brilliance had decreased Smithsonian Observatory. As I ended my vigil the brillianee had decreased
and I gained the impression that the object was increasing its distance from
Earth. Ineidentally on a few occasions for a duration of perhaps 1/10 Earth. Incidentally on a few occasions for a duration of perhaps 1/10
second or less there was no reflected illumination from the object(s). A
star zazing friend of mine told me tijis is a commonly observed phenomenon star gazing friend of mine told me thjis is a commonly observed phenomenon attributable to variations in the atmosphere.
attributable to variations in the atmosphere.
Any comments? I sure would like to have someone else say
"Yes, I saw it! Pretty wasn't it!" Seriously, I'm curious.

Dear
This is in reply to your letter of Auguat 20,
1964, in which you both gave a very interesting
narrative of some observations of unusual aerial
objects.
We are interested in finding out from you
both just how these sightings have differed from
mateor sightings you previously observed. It would mateor sightings you previously observed. It would
be appreeiated if you would write us, giving your
observations on this matter, and we will in turn
attempt an evaluation of your sightings from the
additional information. Attached is a self-addressed

A clipping from Portemouth, Virginia, tells of a young man who saw a UFO
the size of a small plane cross the road about a half mile ahead of him at
5i30 one morning, while driving along U.S. Highway S8. His car engine cut out,
as did the engines of several other cars in the area, but it re-started with-
out difficulty 30 seconds later. The young man, named Steve L. Anderson, re-
ported the incident to Langley Air Force Base....

The Sunderland Echo of August 18
carries the story of sightings by Mr.
and Mrs. Jamieson at about 9.45 p.m.
on the evening of August 17, as they
were walking along the seafront—
Mrs. Jamieson said that she saw an
orange disc like a large star, moving
inland from the sea. 'It was travelling
in a north westerly direction. It
disappeared, then a second disc
appeared, moving in the same
direction. Then a third disc appeared
going the other way.' She added, and
this may have been the first disc
returning. "Mr. Jamieson went on: "The
fourth disc we saw was revolving at a
tremendous pace. It could not
possibly have been a star, and its
movement suggested that it was
some sort of machine." (Credit: Harry Lord, Heaton)

August 10, 1905
On Thursday, July 22, 1965 between the hours of 2000 and 2100 I was
sitting on our front porch at 一
which is loc-
ated about five miles to the North East of wy vantage point. The field
of view from our front porch is-from the East to West-North-West. The
object that I observed came into view from the South East and traveled
in a North West direction. The object was at an altitude comparable to
commercial aireraft coming into and leaving the
Airport, and its speed was a littlerfaster than the commercial aircraft.
My time of observation could not have exceeded ten seconds, and could My time of observation coula not have exceeded ten seconds, and could
have been shorter. I was observing the object broadside and its path
was parallel to the earth and perfectly level. There was no sound accomp-
anying its fligit, and no other distractions were observed at the tise, anying its flight, and no other distractions were observed at the time.
My first impression was that of three separate objects, but as
have had time to revisw what I saw, I have concluded that there was cnly have had time to review what I saw, I have concluded that there was cnly
one large object involved. The nose, or leading part of the object
appeared to be as bright as molten metal, or silvery in color. I only
saw part of the leading end as there seemed to be smoke or vapor coming
out and obscuring the rest of the object from view. At times this vapor
or smeke would be blown aside so as to give a momensary view of other
parts of the cbject that were as brignt as ths Lode part, This would
occur first fairly close to the lead enn of he ooject, then farther
back toward the rear end. This was what ao Jarvs led me to telieve

There was no vaper trail or smoke trail following sas cojece, crly the VEpO
or smoke that surrounded the object.
The siy was dull as at dusk and the sun had either set or was behind
clouds. The object appeared to be between two and one-half to three miles
away from my point of observation, and in the general direction or
My first thought was that I was observing the meentry of some
rockst tankage in the 30 to 40 foot langth, but the altitude and speed were
much too hine and slow and the direction of travel ruled cut tankage. The
wadio and talevision rsports were that a meteor had gone over the area, cut
years ago I observed a meteor or fireball streak across the sky from East
to West and it was red in color, high speed and nothing like the object
that I observed on July 22.
My best guess as to what I saw is that it was oblong in shape, perhaps Hy best guess as to what I saw is that it was oblong in shape, perhaps

going to be flying low over cen-
tral Ohio fór nine days beginning
Aug. 18.
The turboprop transports, from
Lockbourne Air Force base near
Columbus, will be practicing
navigation at low levels and mak-
ing air drops, assault landings
and takeoffs at Clinton County
AFB, near Wilmington.
Col. George W. Kinney, com-

number of flights are being con-
ducted to meet semiannual crew ducted to meet semiannual crew
training requirements.
HE SAID that it is not a result
of recent developments in South-
east Asia, but added that this
type of tactical flying could be
used in Vietnam and actually
was employed during the recent
Dominican Republic airlift.
The 317th has been flying some
low level missions in the area for
some months.
THE INCREASED low altitude

Dear Mr Durland,
Your letter of 31 August 1965 was forwarded by the Air National
Guard Commander at Fargo, North Dakota.
Consultation with the meteorologist leads me to believe that
the following is a plausible explanation:
"Dust devils" are described by the meteorologist as short
duration miniature dry storms which may swirl in clockwise
or counter clockwise direction. North Dakota summers or couhter clockwlse dlrectlon.Nor Dakota suhers
OFICAE COP frequently have these strong small whirlwinds. This pheno-
menon could plausibly account for the 27 six to seven foot
diameter swirls made in the wheat fields of Veblem Township
UTLCO this past August. A clear, calm, hot dry summer afternoon
over a flat field is conducive to producing intense whirl-
winds of 5-lo foot diameter. The whirlwind is a result of winds of 5-l0 foot diameter. The whirlwind is a result of
rapidly rising parcels ofair that have become lighter by rapidly rising parcels of air that have become lighter by
being heated at the field level. Although they have been
most frequently observed picking up dust, they probably occur
as frequently without dust.
The temporary deformation of the wheat along the rapid wind
path might contribute to later compaction ofthe soil. The path might contribute to later compaction of the soil. The
wheat in the center of the whirlwind would be affected as
would that in the peripherial area.
Thank you for your observations.
F Sincerely,

shown a number of areas in the wheat field like the foreground in the picture. The
round areas, varying from six to seven feet in diameter, have the wheat all twisted round areas, varying from six to seven feet in diameter, have the wheat all twisted
in a clockwise direction. Yet the wheat stem has not been cut and the roots are still
in the ground. The ground in these circular areas has been packed so the soil is
much harder then the ground elsewhere in the field. However, the center of the
circular area is not as hard as the balance. Hll gatl ha bee sieeever
Hill said he has discovered about 27 similar areas in his field which is located
less than a quarter mile from the arm buildings. The large number was discovered
by Hill's father, Danny Hill, when he cut the field last week Wednesday. Since then
a number of people have come out to look at the circular areas but no one has been
able to give a plausable explanation of what caused them, Hill said.
Hill recalied that about a month ago Chip, his white terrier. made quite a
commotlon one night. The development of the grain in the circular areas indicates
that's about how long ago they were made.
Speculation has run wild since they were discovered and thoughts have ranged
from whirlwinds to whiripools to interplanetary visitors. An effort is being made to
contact someone who might be able to explain what caused the mystery. -Journal

UFO Over
Belleville
BELLEVILLE — Four mem-
bers of a Belleville family yes-
terday reported seeing an un-
identified flying object in the
sky over their home Thursday
night.
W. B. Wilson, a professional
engineer, his wife, and daugh-
ters, Judy, 9, and Becky, 15,
said the object appeared to
be a satellite.
"Earlier in the evening,
Judy had started talking about
satellites and we had dis-
cussed the scrubbed-out Gem-
ini flight," said Wilson.
"We went out in the back-
yard and sure enough there
was a satellite visible. It ap-
peared to be in a polar orbit
moving north to south. We
watched it for ahout a minute watched it for about a minute
and suddenly there appeared
another satellite which seemed
to have split off from the one
moving north.
"It was moving in the op-
posite direction, and after the
first satellite moved out of first satellite moved out of
sight we watched the other one
which seemed to hover in the
sky and was visible for about
10 or 15 minutes. My wife had
been called and we all stood
and watched it.
"Later, about midnight, my
daughter Becky saw the ob-
ject or satellite that had hov-
ered in the sky in the exact
spot we had watched it.
"Being an engineer, I have
often taken such reports rath-
er lightly. But this I saw and
I wasn't the only one. I don't
know whether the second ob-
ject was a satellite or not,
but right now I'm calling it an
unidentified flying object.'

MEXICAN SAUCER FLAP CONTINUES: We now have further information on the
saucer landing at Mexico City's National Polytechnic Institute, described at
the top of Page 23 of our December issue. A France Press wire service story the top of Page 23 of our December issue. A France Press wire service story
dated August 24th gives the date of thslanding as August l9th. The original dated August 24th gives the date of ths landing as August l9th. The original
source of the story is apparently "El Grafico," a Mexico City newspaper, and the witnesses wers twn students at the Iostituto
the witnesses were two students at the Institute. They claim that the flying
saucer left behind a message engraved in a strange metal tablet, which was
submitted to the Institute's technical laboratories for analysis. We unfortun-
ately have no word as to the results of this analysis.
The students also state that the landing took place at 8:30 a.m., and
involved a large luminous vehicle, with a cabin in its upper part, and with a
gigantic tripod landing apparatus in its rear section. There was also a "radi-
ator" of some sort, which burned all the rocks and foliage in the vicinity.
Two creatures, slightly under 3 feet tall, oot out of the machine. They had
something resembling gas masks on their faces. Before the eyes of the terri-
fied students, they left the metal plate on the ground, and then climbed back
into their machine and flew away. When the spot was examined by scientists,
drops of a strange fuel were found, in addition to the evidence of burning.
A France Press bulletin dated August 25th tells of a night-time sighting
of a dozen UFOs in the state of Tijuana, Mexico. A group of hunters saw a
formation of saucers at close range, and made signals to them with their lan-
terns; whereupon one of the craft left the formation and came down, almost to
earth. The signals had been made in jest, and when they seemed to be answered,
the carload of hunters panicked, abandoning their vehicle and other equipment,
and fled.

Many sightings
Mr. T. J. Burke, of Glanmire, Co.
Cork, writes of large numbers of
night sightings, too numerous to
mention. He does detail two daylight
cases, one of great interest.
At 12.15 p.m. on August 21,
Patrick Reardon of Glanmire, to-
gether with his wife and family saw a
silvery, circular object move in a
southerly direction. It was in view for
about five minutes. As this device
moved farther away, they could see
'round' extensions underneath.
On the same day, at about 3 30
p.m., an auto-cyclist who does not
want his name revealed, was at the
side of the road between Youghal and
Cork, at a place known as Bury's
Bridge. He was repairing a broken
chain when a strange object sud-
denly appeared about 15 ft. from him,
hovering about five feet off the road.

There are apparently only two answers:
1. This is a Iraudulent story, involving the District Comman-

is incredible.
2. A UFO did land on the road, and it did blast off as the police
reported. If so, this is a powerful new link in the chain of evi-

Post of August 28 that three times in
one week, residents of the Newbarns
district of Barrow-in-Furness, Lancs.,
claim to have witnessed the passage of
strange sky objects at virtually the
same time each night.
A Mr. R. Scott, of Bridgegate
Avenue, saw, late on the evening of
Tuesday, August,21, objects "like two
balls of white which kept coming
together and separating as they
flew along... from time to time they
would emit red trails. These things
were quite high up and were not
making any noise. I watched them
for a few minutes before they dis-
appeared." The objects were moving
in a northerly direction. Similar
sightings were made on the pre-
cedingSaturdayandSundayevenings.
According to the report, neither
Air Ministry nor astronomers can
supply an explanation.
