Centlemen:
I would like to report the sighting of what I consider an un-
identified Flying Object.
The ineident occurred at Crystal Beach, Texas, on August 12, 1967,
between the hours of 10:00 and 12:00 P. M.
I was with members of my family, and a few close friends, at my
brothers beach house. Everyone had retired for the night, and
all lights were cut. It had been what seemed quite some time,
and I had not gone to sleep when I became aware of the object. and I had not gone to sleep when I beceme aware of the object.
As I changed positions in bed, indeavoring to relax into a more
comfortable positi n, I became aware of the object in full view.
I am no judge of distance but it eppeared to be very near. The
object was motionless and silent on the first sighting, and that
which was visible appeared to be a hugh, orange colored ball, which was visible appeared to be a hugh, orange colored ball,
suspended in mid-air. I was fascinated and lay quietly, observing.
Suddenly, the light began to grow dimmer, and it seemed to be
moving in space. I could not determine whether or not the object
had changed positions, because as it moved the light began to
fade until it was no longer visible. I would also like to add
that the light had changed from bright orange to a crystal like
blue.
As I lay there pondering after a lapse of time, the object re-
appeared, and there seemed to be sparks emitting from its in-
terrior, To be discriptive, it were as though fire crackers
were being thrown from within. This went on for some time, then
suddenly it swerved and took off with lightening speed. I
wetched it until it was no longer visible.
My interest was aroused, and I wanted to be certain that if I
could be a witness to something unusual, with no doubt as to the
accurmey of my own sight and vision, I would do so. I hardly
changed my position, and lay there with the whole sky in full
view, because the beach house is almost an enelosure of windows.

Suddenly from a great distance, a faint light began to glow.
An ordinary observer would number it among the countless stars,
but as it moved nearer it became more luminous, and seemed to
be pulsating, increasing in size, then suddenly it took on the
bright orange glow and seemed to be less than a block away.
The object remained quiet and motionless and this time no sparks were emitting

Dear Mrs
This replies to your recent letter concerning your obser-
vation of an unidentified flying object (Ufo) on August 12.
We are unable to offer an explanation because of insufficient
data. Essential information, such as detailed flight character-
istics, weather information, and angular velocities are needed
in eny scientific investigation of a reported UFO sighting. Had
you reported your observation to the nearest military installa-
tion at the time, an evaluation would probably have been possible. tion at the time, an evaluation would probably have been possible.
