U.S. Department of War · 1955 · 220 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This 1954 to 1955 file of U.S. Air Force Directorate of Intelligence correspondence gathers letters and memos about the Unidentified Flying Object Program. In one memo, the Air Force says an object that fell at Sylacauga, Alabama was identified as a meteorite at the Air Technical Intelligence Center. Donald Keyhoe questions the Office of Naval Research about the Navy's analysis of the Tremonton film, and the Navy says data are insufficient and it sees no danger. Most of the replies to the public enclose the Air Force UFO summary.

## GLENN REYNOLDS

PECOS, TEXAS

Dear Mr. Chop: ( Or anyone else in the Department of Unidentified Flying Objects) I would appreciate it if you would answer the following questions for me.

How did you happen to get in this line of work? Did you choose it in high school, college, or later? Is a college education necessary in this line of work? How long did your education take?

What college did you attend? What courses helped you most? Have you ever regretted your line of study? What are your working conditions, hours, etc.? What is the demand in the Air Force for a man of your training? Will this demand increase?

Outside of everyday work and experience, what do you do to improve your knowledge and skills?

I will appreciate your prompt reply, as my theme is due very shortly.

Thanking you, I am

Sincerely yours,

Elmweynle

Glenn Reynolds
