"~ I'"' uro Sighti ngs, 'Haynes ville, Ohio : Hq USAF SAFOICC (Mrs Hunt) Wash D C 20330 We are in receipt of a letter from reporting sightings of unusual objects. Her servation on 3 Sept 65 at 1045 pm is similar to many reports which our project has received on meteors. Her previous observation is more dif- ficu l t to explain and data presentedMBs not sufficient for evalustion. It is suggested that sn FTD Form 164 be s ent to her along with a Fact Sheet and explanation that Mr Keyhoe'~ books are regarded as science fict i on by the Air Force.
