Dear Sir:
I would like to report a sighting of an Unidentified
Flying Object. It was sighted at approximately 9:20
P. M. EDT, on June 21, 1967.
It was in sight approximately five minutes. There
was a bright, clear sky with many stars and a full
moon. It first appeared, at the area 15 degrees above
the southern horizon, as a light brighter than the
brightest stars. This object appeared brighter as
it moved overhead. It also appeared to stand still
for a short time. When I first sighted it, it moved
to the west and disappeared. It reappeared several
moments later, several degrees higher. There was moments later, several degrees higher. There was
no sound, and the object was a bright white in color.
I viewed this object outdoors in a reside ntial
section of Saratoga Springs. Through my Sears 75x
telescope, it looked somewhat like two rectangular
lights joined together. I could not focus into per-
fect clarity. About thirty seconds before the object
disappeared into the northern horizon, I saw a plane
in the sky near the object.
The other people who viewed this with me were:
Mrs.
and I am twelve years
old.My telephone number is Please do no t
misinterpret this report as a prank because of my
age. Every word is in complete truthfullness.
Sincerely yours,
