Mr. Richard Hall
NICAP
1536 Connecticut Avenue N. W.
Washington 6, D. C.
Dear Mr. Hall:
Pardon my delay in answering your letter of August 27 requesting information on UFOs seen by B-29 crews during World War II.
I was a group intelligence officer stationed on Tinian, and the cases I recall were all night-time sightings.
These lights, ranging from green to orange and yellow, would approach and move along with the bombers for several minutes at a time before breaking off. The crews were sure they were not reflections on plexiglass, or stars, or the moon.
I recall of no case where an aircraft or form was distinguished as such, just the lights.
These "Foo-fighters" were so common, that they were discussed in the various unit publications around the island.
I also remember no discussions about the possibility of space-craft; just strange unidentified lights.
It is hoped that this small bit of fragmentary information may be of help.
Very truly yours,
WTJr:v
Wayne Thomas, Jr.
