Related to other meteor sight in Louis Air Tactical Intelligence Center Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio Dear Sirs: . In this morning's '' Arttansas aazette" I saw the reporting o the sighting of a brilliant object in . , .. the sky over the Gulf' of Mexico Thursday night by an . Air Force plane. The article said it may,have been a meteor, but that a routine "unidentified flying object" report had been sent to your office. , Hoping to add a little to your inormat1on, I v.rould like to report that on that night, June 23, be- tween .eighj;-i'ifteen and eight-th:irtx I saw a strange object ig t he southern sky, moving at great speed from west to eas~. I was at a baseball game, using night glasses, and being bored with the game, and hearing the sound of Jet engines, looked skyward with the glasses to try to see the plane. I do not mean that I connect the engine sounds with the UFO, but only that that is why I was looking into the sky with the binoculars. I could not see the jet plane, but instead saw ~hat seemed to be a full moon behind a layer of haze. I followed it for about five seconds with the binoculars, and it then ~as out of sight behind trees, and I did not see it again. I cannot say that the object ,,,as brilliant, but perhaps the brightly-lighted baseball field kept the object from a~pearing so bright as it might have had I been in a dark area. I compared the brilliance of the stars soon after the sighting, and they, too were much less bright to view, indicating that the object could have been brilliant in a darker location I hope this information has been a help to you; knowing from my work in the Ground Observer Corps that every little bit of information pieced together adds up to a picture, I submit it to you as a true and un- varnishad statement.
