Captain Hector Quintanilla. Jr. Chief1 Aerial Phenomena Branch . Headquarters Forei ·n Technology Division WTi g ht-Pa~terson Air Force Base, Ohio Dear Captain Quintanilla, CG-12/ojk 20 May 1964 Reference is made to my phone call this morning. I have talked to Major Casper who was the Clouc Gap Field Operations Officer at Albuquerque, based at Kirtland AFB, durin g t he time this i ncident took place. Cloud Gap operations were conducted in an area about a hundred miles north of Socorro, ~J ew Mexico. Cloud Gap personnel did not have any equipment nor speci al clothing ~Tdch could possibly be related to the descr j ption provide d by police officer Lonnie Zamora. Since certain aerial surveillance fli ghts were being conducted by ·Navy aircraft, RA 5C•s, in the area in question, a check on such flights revealed none were flown on 24 Apr ~ l 1964 L, connection with Cloud ,Gap. We have no infonnation on this sighting other than that provided by your SGT MOODY who was a participant on our project and that picked up from the newspapers. I have enclosed an article foun d in the Los Angeles Time of 20 May which may be of interest to you. Sincerely, rnm~ n A. YOUNG Colonel, USAFRob Mercer
