Dear Sir:

There is attached a report by Mr. Don Heaphy, recounting the observation by several employees of this Laboratory of an unusual object apparently in flight. Mr. Heaphy is employed in this Laboratory's 1- by 3-foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel and is therefore necessarily somewhat familiar with high-speed flight configurations. Therefore it was considered advisable to forward Mr. Heaphy's report to you inasmuch as the observers were undoubtedly competent.

Please acknowledge receipt of this report.

INCLS.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Arthur B. Freeman,

Security Officer. "
