Dear Lt. Ol~son; This is B belated report on the la9t batch tmich I received at the end of April. Just as soon as. t>ur plans !or employing :.ass Gluck officially co throueh, I sh~.11 be able to send you a sheet with comments ,df( each iltdividual case, so that you ,;ill have my conunents on each folder. The letter method .:c~ hn.s obvious dra,;back3. But until that time com'"1s and she c~n hnndl9 rny typing and cooplotion ot forms, I had better stick to this letter method. In this latest batch we have only 4 really interestin~ cases. I mi~ht r.tention a 5th, 28 l~arch SJ, Scott AFD, which is the lst report I va sa~n or an honest to goodness mirace. 6 Cases have only one observer and I'M .folloNing my usual rule of discounting those. 8 April vras a met or-. - The Great Fall 3 J..pri case was Venus if reported time{ was in 28 March Albrook Jn was pr!obably Vcnns. )l irarch Jlon~hu, nn:i )0 r.1arch J,yle, Y'aah., are pu~zline but could possibly have been balloons. 'l'Jlf' --8 A_p_!il Greenla.~d case nas an ob1ious meteor. This brings-us to the interest inc casoo: . 2S l!arch Ean .\ntonia could hardly have been a mirc:e e and I rn surprised there w~s no radnr pickup. ~,.'as there any aircraft like helicopters that r.tiht explain this. Anyth:tng mora come in on this one? Don t thi':lk this is rood enouch for a pinch-bottle but it should be listed as NoctUTnnl r::eanderinr: D:i eht. 29 Harch Spooner, '!isc' Duration times needs ch3ckina hP-r~. H~:td to to believe t.hat object could have done all that in l.S second3. An intcrcstin: case and one or the regular questiom1f'Ues should be sent to J:r. Gile't tc. Next is the 12 April $._.tead AFB. I think this is the mo~t interesting cas~ or the batch, and I hope you receive rnorc dope on it. Questionniros should b.~ sent.I d like to see l!enzel explain this one! Is ~here any possibility thatthes~ could have been airqpf,t? Appa ntl~ ducks have been eli:ninated. " ...._As ~o~the 6 Ua.D~n, Equasseur AFB althouV1 NHL t.he data are ~con tradic~foy a nsuf'fici ~orhnps this was a helicopter? We. oueht to !-::.t:~ have ::1uch more infor:nation on this one. Has this been received?
