I; I bel i eve that these extra•terrcstrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet frOIII other planets. which obviously arc a little ~re technically advanced than we are t>erc on earth. I feel that we need to have a ~~P level, coordinated program to scientificall y collect and analyze data frNII a ll over the earth conccmlng any t yp~ of enco""tcr, ~nd to deter~ ine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendl y fash ion. We may first have to show them that we have learned to rcsc-lve our problcr.,s by peac-e f ul r.,cons, rather than warfare. before we are acce~tr.d as fully ~ualificd universal team meinbers. This acce?tance -Quid hav~ tremendous poss ibi lities of advancing our ~rid in all areas. Certa i nly then it woul d seem thot the UN has a vested Interest in handling this subject pro~erly and expcdltioutly. I should point out that I•~ not an experienced UFO prof~sslonal researcher. I have not yet had t t,e privl legc of flying a uro. nor of 111Cetlng the crew of one . I do feel tl~t I am sOIKWhot qualified to discuss them ,Ince I have been Into th• fringes of the va5t ~rea, in which they 0 travel . Also, I d i d have occasion in 1g51 to have two days of ~bservation of 1111ny flights of them, of different sizes, flying In fighter for111atl~, generally frOC11 east t o west over Europe. They ~r• ot a higher altitude than we could reach with our jet fighters of that tl111e. I would also like to point out that 111:1st astronauts are very reluctant to even discuss UFO's due to the great nll!Cers of people who have indcs- crlmlnately sold fake stories and for9ed documenls abusin~ their naaies •nd reput•~lon, wi thout hesitation. Those few astl'Ofleuts .-tlo h•vc continued to have• partlcip~tlon In tho uro field have had to do so very cautiou,ly. I) There are several of us ..,ho do believe i n UFO's and who have h~d occuion to see a UFO on the ground, or frOIII an alrpl•ne • .There was only one oc~•sion frOflt s.l)acc -~lch 111o1y have been• UFO . If the UN agrees to pursu~ this project. and to lend their credibility to it, · perhops many more well quali f ied people will agree tu step forth and provide help and i nformation . I am look i ng fo,....ard to seeing you soon. Sincerely, ✓- ~~L~C:j111 Col.
