formal report is also attached (Atch #3).
14. This report has been delayed in the hope that further proof might be advanced by the observer either to verify or, inadvertantly, to
negate his earlier statements. During several telephonic discussions since the initial visit and inqueries, nothing further has been offered
that can prove or disprove the validity of his statements.

FRAME 017 / 021paddle-gpu-200dpi
15. Conclusions: It is the undersigmed's opinion that:
a. The story is too pat, well remembered, and systematically pre-
sented to have actually occurred to a scared 14 year old boy;
b. Some incident did occur on that evening that was not fully
understood by Timothy, he was worried about it, either because of his
owm implication or implied danger to himself and he developed the story
as an excuse;
c. The possibility of a deliberate hoax cannot be definitely
eliminated although the observer's continued interest and his forth-
right attitude do tend to show an innocent motivation; and finally;
d. The lack of physical evidence and absence of further reports
from other individuals in this rather populous area tend to belie his
statements.
