FOR TliE COMMAJIDER '-*"~clone 1, USAF eputy for Technology and Subsystems YOU THE N UCLEUS OF SECLJRITYr August 7, 1964 This is tn reply to your letter o~ July 18, 1964, addressed to Captain Quintanilla at the Project Blue Book Office at Wright-Patterson Air Porce Base~ on the subject or an Unidentified Pl7ing Object you observed. Inclosed is a Form 164 "U.S. Air Force Technical x.ru-orwation" questionnaire. It is requested that you complete this fo11n and return it to this Headquarters. A self-addressed envelope is inclosed for your con- venience. The information given in your letter was not autf1c1ent enough to enable our Project Office to make an evaluation. The object you sketched cannot be as soc ia ted w 1 th any lmown type of ::1ea ther phenomena since it apparently had definite shape and construc- tion. The drawing indicates the probability of an aircraft towing a banner with electrical lights for advertising. It may of course be possible that you observed only the banner. SLmilar sketches have been sub~itted by person~ observing this phenomena. You might check your local airport and inquire ~s to various companies flytng these advertising missions. In the 164 questionnaire, would you list the duration of the sighting as well as the motion or the object~ and complete the other questions 1n aa much detail as poaaible.
