Gentlemen: I am writing you this letter at the urgin8 ot a friend who thaught that the information contained here- in may be of value to your agency or some other Governmen- tal Office. On the evening ot October 17, 1962, around 6:30 PM, EDT, I was cleaning the gutters on the root ot my house and I stopped to rest a few minutes. As I laid on the root, looking up at the sky, I noticed a bright shining object meTing across the sky from the North-East to the North-tVest. The object seemed to jump as it moved. It moved approximately 100 ground yards in about two(2) min- utes. At this point it started to turn and come back, one from th3 South. They all came tog9thar including the first one I saw, more or less forming a triangle. They stayed together tor about a half a minute, then the first object started back on its North-Westerly course while the other two parted, one going North and the other soutti. Attar parting, (the two that had gone North and South) they seemed to disappear about lS I seconds atter starting to move. The first object, I followed, still going in a North-Westery direction until it was out ot view. As I stated in the beginning of this letter, I do not know whether or not this information is of any value to your agency, and it not, but it may be to same other agency such as the Air Force, would you kindly see that they get i~ it it will be or value to them. Thank You.
