Dear Sir;
I am writing to you about three sightings I have made and my
theory of what the UFo's are. First, my sightings.
(1) I saw a yellow-gold colored object. I don't even remember
the time of year. , my best friend also saw it and two smaller
objects of the same color were seen to come out of the thing. This object
was very far away.
(2) One Tuesday in January of 1967, d and his brother
and I were looking at the moon through telescope,There were telescope. There were
about five stars in the entire sky at that time. There were a good many clouds
in the sky at that time and the sun was setting behind the mountain. From
behind a cloud, Randy saw a circular object heading down to the mountain top
(see drawing "A" at end of letter) at an angle. It had a vapor trail and there
was no noise at all. We focused s telescope on it and watched it go
behind the mountain. Through the telescope we could compare the object with
the trees at the topof the mountain. We took a picture of it through the tele-
scope on black and white film. The object was about the size of the full moon
that w hin been watching. The thing that puzzles me the most is that there was
a trail. If the picture comes out, it should show a whitish thing very close to
the trees.
(3) I saw this object on April 13, 1967. As I was coming from a friends
house at about 8:15 P.M., I noticed a blinking red light about as bright as Sirius,
the brightest star. It was like two stars sitting side by side. It was a nice
send 164

night and the wind was blowing just a little bit. See drawing "B".
Now that I have finished with my sightings, I will start with my UFO
theory. You have heard about Jean Dixon, the Washington, D.C. woman who
predicted J.F.K.'s murder? In many cases people have communicated with
space beings through "mental telepathy", a type of E.S.P. I believe that
clairvoyants like Jean Dixon are probably the first of people on earth to
have "the gift of prophecy". I also believe that in the near future somebody
will invent "nonrocket intersteller travel". I think that we aren't too far
behind our space neighbors, I say about 25-50 years. I would like to have any
infomation you have on UFo's. infomation you have on UFO's.
I would appreciate a reply to my letter as soon as possible. I would appreciate a reply to my letter as soon as possible.
Thanking you, I am
