Dear Sir; /
Pl ease forgi ve me for taking up your t i me , with this item.It really is•'t
necessary .Yet , al though everybodys tongue was waggi ng from the Ee.st and to the
V/est coast , I coul dn ' t resist putting my oar in.
'jf.Jn Saucers in the Sky . Heading for the Milky \i:lf • Funny?I dont know .
we read and re.ad and read . "Sky Disc Derby Open to All"• "Calls "Saucers"Trick
of Vision" -"Bel1eve i t or not , 27 States see those flying sauoers" - "Vlho saw the
savcers ?40 States 1n the Game 11 - "Cel eatia l Dishes sought bet\"leen the Raindrops"-
11Find 'Disk' is weather k1te"- 11 Disks cal led chunks of M1rage 11 - 11 Report new Red
Planes resemble 1Flying saucers'" .-Ai r -liner crew reports seeing 9 flying diske
for 12 minutes" . That ' s the way it went on, for days and days .
Please , dont remind me that this i s a military problem. Soldiers f~eht thee~
emy out in the open and away from home if possible . The Federal Agents(the unsung
heroes)fight the ememy under cover and in their home grounds . so . Here I am.
These so-ialled saucers may be kites , but accorfi1ng to reports , these things
didn ' t flutter or float , they sailed and kites don ' t sail , t118 st•anges part is,
they all sailed in the same direction,from West to East .
Rewards were offered , no collectora . Ploo.nes chased them, none captured. They had
to land, no finders . so . As long as the Military , Scientist and Civilians deny,being
respomsible for this . were doea it lead toJAn enemy . A little while back,it was
mentioned somewhere that Russia had or has a contraption for their next war,em
itt1ng sound(like a silent whistle for dogs}v,hat 1t'suxto do,th their enemy,!
don ' t know.If a country was experimenting such a weapon, the brave people of the
u. s . were not scared. They only informed the so- called enemy how successful they
t il•t:1 were •
I t could be an optical illusion, or;suppoaing some unwelcomed persons,pl anted
a few wel l chosen words,here and there and l eft the rest to a}1 confused mind,
These innocent people reporting the phenomena . .
What confuses me i s,that when we became too cur ious and determined to find l
out what they really are , those things disappeared and we found substi,Utes,calle3
kites . These things resembling description as near as possible to the real thing,
Why couldn't these things have been directed b. ck home again like a homit1g pigeon~
To make sport of this thing , is 1:Bd taste . It sort of reminds me of the boy tha~
cried WOLF . Whan the wolf really came . 'l.'Was sad . He ,was a niceboy . There sLo'lJ r: h r.
