Dear Mr ..
Tel:
14th March 1993
-·------------------- ·------
Firstly, thankyou for your help when I rang you last week re:
the sighting of an unknown object on Wednesday 31st March '93
over Wales and the Westcountry.
As requested I am enclosing a copy ·of my hastily prepared
Interim Report concerning this event. It will obviously take
some time to collate all the information I receive, but once
this is completed I will let you have a copy of my finalreport. ·
I understood from our conversation, that you have also received
some reports of this event and would appreciate anything you
can tell me concerning this. I have no idea at present what
flew over this area on the night in question, all I do know is
that it was very big, was shaped something like a 'Catamaran'
and was completely silent!
Once again many thanks for your help.
Kind regards
