Dear
I remember very clearly the entire matter of your Priend's I remember very elearly the entire matter of your film, which was submitted to me undeveloped. It was transmitsod
to Wright-Patterson AFB as you are aware.
I am attaching a copy of a letter I received in December from the Foreign Technology Division. In this letter Major Quintanilla the Foreign Technology Division. In this letter Major Quintanilla
indicates that they have tried to contact gain additional information and have had their correspondence
returned after being merked "Refused." Please pass this informa- returned after being merked "Refused." Please pass this informa- tion on to Mr. Villar as soon as possible. You noted in your on as possible. You noted in your
earlier letter of 9 September l967 that he had received my lotter, but had not heard from Wright-Patterson. I made several calls to
Wright-Patterson following your letter and obtained their assur-
ance that they would write to Mr. Union City, New Jersey. When they did attempt to contact
him, the letter was refused..
As you can see from the letter, your friend, ean
obtain his negatives from FTD if he will write to them and request their return. Perhaps he is not aware that somebody is refusing
to accept his mail? In any case, there is no deliberate with- holding of material or information on the part of the Air Foree.
The FTD people expressed in their letter that they would like to obtain more information about this case to make a determinn-
tion on the photos.
Sincerely Sincerexs

Dear Mr. Elliott: Dear Mr. Elliott:
There is a large possibility that you There is a large possibility that you
do not remember the whole affair, but almost a year
ago (May or Junela friend af mine
saw a UFo, took some still pictures of it, and sent them
to you for evaluation with the undestanding that you
would return them (it was an undeveloped roll together
with a crude drawing). In turn, you sent it to Wright-
Patterson base. That was a year ago. He is still wai-
ting for the pictures. Needless to sey, he is very in-
dignant at t e turnout of events and has complained to
everyone everywhere but nobody has dqne anything There-
fore, he asked me to request of you to send me the pic-
tures along with the negatives, and the evaluation, and
I will send it to him. Your speed is obviously apprecia-
ted。

Dear sir: Dear sir:
I em On June 27, 1967 I sent a report on a UFo
I gad see n kansas, but then I moved here. I would like to re-
ceive back all the material I sent you but since I have been told
that you have been trying to contect me without results, I would
think it best for you to send the material to a friend in Kansas
whom I have corresponded without trouble. his address appears below
and I would like you to send it without any questions or similar
bother. If you have evaluated the report, fine, if not, fine too.
Thank you.

Dear Col. Quintanilla:
We are beginning the process of closing up the project shop! Here
is a case file, returned from which apparently originated
with you, and which you requested returned - see your letter of December
21, 1967 to As you will see from the handwritten notes it was
not possible to locate so I assume no analysis or study
was made of the case.
If you have a record of other things that ought to be returned to
your office it would certainly help me. The girls at Woodbury now have
not been around long enough to really find things - Harriet has left;
Roy has left - and I'm trying to tidy up.
Sincerely,
