Washington 2.5, D.c.
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-.

Upon reading the Official C. A.B. report on this accident and also I 0
u
this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or ~
the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have p.~
z
missed the point completely. ~
I claimed that the object which I seen was laying air mines and
that this aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines.
To substantiate m;y claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line
