DEARBORN OBSERVATORY NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY ~.!ajor Hector Quintanilla Foreign Technology Division liright Patterson Air Force Base rayton, Ohio Dear llaj or: EVANSTON, ILLINOIS 60l01 23 February 1965 I am enclosing a toasted copy of a APRO bulletin. Please notice the reported Hollo::-an Air Force Base case. This is the sort of case which prompts charges of Air Force secrecy, and I feel that it would be very wise to track this one down to its lair if at all possible. Apparently there was some conversation beti.reen the bombe:-pilot and the tower uhich the radio amateur accidentally overheard, but thin3s like ~rAt can't get nipped in the bud at the ver.y beginning. It 0ives an a..rf\11 lot of grist for the mill of AP:RO, etc. I don t kno\-l \That can be done at this late date, but at the verJ least, the radio a~teur and the newspaper reporter should. :Je contacted to see just 't.rilat the original stimulus was I am also e:1clos!.r.g a toasted co;rj of a ~ote from ~'Lr. E:lglish. He was the or..e who re-cortei t,l:e Toledo case ~1::icil \;as ra.t:'ler similar to tile Nonticello ca.se~ I hare as~ei hi:: "to get so:::e pic~i,.;.res rna.de of the terrain around t~ere at a no~r.al ccs~ if necessar,y Reference 13 .~.UJ"~s-: :..95~, 200 miles eas~ o:" Dover (Atlantic): \-Tould it o.: :?ossible to get. the r:a:-.:es o~ tr.e crew n:ec.":;;rs co:1ce:-::.ed?

Ap~arently these people were between two cloud decks and saw an object approacning them. I~ ~:gr.t have been a relative~ statior calloon \-thich they were overtakir.3 ar.d passed. Since everything over t!:e Atla.n~ic is care!~lly cAecked by radar, this is a puzzler, and it would be ver.y interesting to ge-e the co::-.:nents of the indii:!.~ual crew members. I 1-TO'..l.ld like t.o find out how bright ~he object appeared and also whetaer they ever saw it to the rear of the . Last Sunday I took occasion while loafing around to call this Ger~n professor at. t.~e ?estern Mennonite College in P~rrisonburg, Virginia. This is the case, Jou :1 ::-emember, tr~t Dave and Sgt. Jones investigated. I also called ?.orace 3u::-:;.s because I wanted to get straight on t\.ro points.

Ga:ne:l gave Burns a cotlpletely clean oill of health vr~1.icn, of cou~se, I expected Ga:.1en seei.as to be a little displeased with the counter tave was using and asked :-.:e why Dave kept setting it back t.o zero l-Thenever it s!loued a large reading! He also wanted to know how, when the bround was covered with four inches of sr.ow, could say categorically, that there were no traces of' anything r.aving landed 1. DATE TIME J. SOURCE 10.
