that some steps are being taken to investigate this phenomcn3 on a serious.
and official basis.
The main reason for my writing to you is that in my opinion not
only should covernment bodies be involved ina project of this nature,but so
should a team of ufologist~ who would obviously be used to the various
problems involved. ·
Although I re~lise that no dccisi6ns may have been made regarding

involved in this venture.l should lik~ your opinion on this matter and what
you think the chances are of norr gov~rnment bodies and individuals being
involved.
