Dear Mr_, Hoover: December 1, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed. I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, 'to Mr. J. F.d.gar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover infonned me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be ~ forwarded to them, the C.A.B. Cl r~1/ ........In the month of March, 196.5, the C.A.B., released a report that this ~.~-faccident and cause was due to a lightning strike. t-. o,. ""I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey.
