Dr. Grant S. Swynn of the Stale Health Department said the sluff was fibrous, burns, but is apparently "not hazardous." He said fur- ther tests would be made to attempt tn rl~termine the material's origin. The "fiber'' drifted rlown O'ler Salt Lake City on 17 October, coming out oi the north. It was described as "whitu and sticky." Our question: If it wcr<: "spider's web" as it was dubbed in tht~ headline on the 23rd, couldn't it hav\! been identified as such afte r a week'~ No Case (Information Only) late October 196 2 elta, Colorado t&, 1A ~ C.curtJI Ci.T11.

Dear Sirs: In this letter, we ~111 tell you our beliefs about the Unidentified Flying ObJect3~ We belieTe tbat the saucer sightings are 90% true~ " A f~ying object of unknown nature landed in Angeles National Forest on F;iday, October 19,1962. The following day, tbemwas a n article in the C1 ti zen-NE'NS" telling or tbe landing or this object. we believe tbat tbat object contained aliaea beings from another planet outside of our own solar system; perhaps outside of uur galaxytThe UoFeOo's seen prior to tbis date,we believe,contained instruments which sent back data about our planet to the world where these beings co~e fro, but the first ~ one mentioned aboYe,we belieTe,contained foreign beings from another ~rld. Ever since tbat ooaarenee, there haTe been many unexplained freakish phenomena. Examples: 1. The crash of tbe United Air Lines Viscount over st.Louia.We theororize tbat this plane crashed because the beings in the U.F.O.turned on an invisible ray, wbiob bad axsuper power, far ahead of our time,that lmoeked out an eagl.e's perception of wrong anj rigbtpa.nd with this ray, these beings made tbis bird fly into this plane's engine deliberately.

To the nak ed eye the object appeared about t he apparent size of Venus, but through bi- noculars it appeared as several dots of ht arranged in a horizontal r ow, each of which appeared to give off light. The "observers trained the binocu I ? n :obs~r:ve ... th~/sa~if . .ltjy~ . phenonie~: ;: as was evident on the unknown object. The object made several changes. (,( ~ location, each time traveling at speed s th::m those of military planes com- monly observed in the a r ea, after which the object hovered motionless for some l imn before changi ng location again. Ac- cording to V. E. Dewey, APRO member who interviewed the observers, thoro did seem to be much change in altitude, 10 degrees or so net change 1 in location toward the east during the maneuvers. The intensity of the obj ect's light varied somewhat during the m:t neuvers but did not appear to be cor-~ related with its motions. Observations ' were terminated by the observers' neetl to sleep, and the object therefore, was f not seen to leave or disappear. , N~ Case (Information Only) ~LOCAL SIGHTINGS: Octt 24, 8:40 PM- 8:4.5 PM.
