Deputy for Science Cy of ltr tm and Components J.~onroe, Ohio Wright Air Development Center Wright-Patterson Air Foree Base Dayton, Ohio Dear Sirs: I am 14 years old and I am very inter- ested in xsockets and UFOs. On Sept. 2,I saw a late movie on fly- ing saucer reports. This was what I needed to tell me that the object that fle\'1 over Cincinnati might have been a "Flying Saucer." One o~ the UFO's in this movie changed its:color as it traveled through the air. It changed forn1 \"I hi te to aMber. I saw the UFO when it first came out of the northeast and headed southwest. It was traveling every bit as fast as the Echo satellite travels In the movie I was telling you about, the object changed color. ~fuen I first saw the UFO it was white and was headinR toward Cincinnati I \'rould like to know if you think that this object could be like the one in the I would also like to know if you know wha t i t is or would you call it a UFO.
