Gentlemens
A relative of mine living in Circleville , Onio has advised me of the following
account.
Two years ago a respected farmer living near Circleville saw a lighted object
dancing around flying around in the air near him late at night in a pasture
or fie l d, -- a ~ lyit2£ aa~~e• • In due1time this came to have general knowledge
in the community, and about one year 1ago the story appeared in the Circleville
newspaper . I
Since then he is presumed to have been consulted with representatives of the
F.B.I. , so it is said there, and only three weeks ago or so it is said the F.B.I.
representatives came to consult with him again. This time they broughtpictures
to show the farme r of various types of these flying saucers or space ships that
have been apprehended by the government from time to time, and the farmer was
able to identify one of them as the type of thing he had seen two years ago.
The farmer was told, as the story goes, by your representatives, that the par
ticular flying saucer he identified is the type that is known to have been flown
down from the planet Mars, and that similar ships have been captured, and that
your agency or the government hold captive one man at least in California who
was taken from one of these things from Mars. This Martian it is understood is
now being taught how to speak English -- in California -- and taught .American
customs . It is said that it is apparent that this Martian comes from a civilization
much more advanced than our own civiliation•• •• and that this account has general ~
knowledge as reported here in that community.

I understand that the farmer is a Mr..l' Stevenson~ that he is held in very high
repute in th' community, prosperous, conservative and of presumed sound mind.
