I ::t:J writing "Project .l.Slue Book" t0 infoJm you of an aerial phenomenon in the area between Princeton and ~ornerville, New Jersey for the past 8 days .. One--and on occa.sion two----brightly lit objects have been ob s crved at high altitude over this area. \Yhen first sighted on )i edne sday I mistook the object ~.s a planet--either ~Rturn or Venus. However , t h ~ 1 i gh t moved s 1 ow 1 y up a. nd <l own , and f' rom side to s ide I am ec~loyed at a radio sta. ion in Princeton, and I found out the next morning tha.t the same objP-ct was observ~d by our transrni tter engineer, who wa.s located at t~he antenna farm atop .t.lount H.ose in Hopewell Township, t.:ercf.\L" county---ahout 1 0 a.ir miles from my loca.tion(B miles south of Soffierville and 12 miles n orth of Princeton.) Tl1e etl~ineer viewed tl1e lights tb.rQ~gh a very ~ood pair of German prismatic binoculars, and r;-fo rm ed me thtt he ma.d?, out a def' ini te disc shape' and a complex series of 1 i gh t s on the object Th e bright 1 i g h t wa. s attributed to some sort of powerful be~c..o.n.,_g vice on the craft's unde.:rsi .,. ---r still was unconvinc~d, until saturday night---~1arch 4th. The ceiling was v~ry low--maybe lo hundrc l r~et. \~e a.re on a number of flight -paths and all aircraft was op~rating above tl1e weather. Of course, no stars were visiole-:tl. all. How~ver at midnight ;.md until 12:30 ayem, 1 observed th~ ";i::-r:-- ! a.~ a dist~nceof maybe o to 10 miles--and operating well under the ceil:::.,.,;. I awo!'-e a ~a.in at 2 or 3 ayem to look for the object, and it was ng quite heavily and the object was no longer v~sible. On Sundriy night, the area w~.s socked in by heavy fog , a.nd nothing was visibl~ more than a few hundred feet. Th~ ob.ject wa,s a.gtt,in visible to me on monday, tuesda..v, ,,ednesdn.,y, and thursaRy n i te(as this is being wr i tten, in fnct.) The mo~t interestinr~ event occurred a.t approximately 6:4n Wednesd~.y night. I stepred out into :ily bac~(y~.rd and sR.w the directly ove heA.d, at an Rltitude ot' perhaps n to ten miles. I switched on a powerful li1tht that 1."ll t ... .. . . . um1na. e s my ho.ckya.rd.

Tl1e phenomenon was also witnessed by the chief engineer--whom I pointe d it out to. Later on Wedne.sd~,y night, 1 sa.w the orange light at relatively low altitude R.nd at u range of perl1ap s o miles Incic~entally, ottr nieht time transanitter enein~er also saw tl1e object on e a. c h o f t h c s e o c c a s i on s , but fro w :t point 10 miles from my Bell1~ a professional newsman, I looked for a po~siblc explanation I xi~xi -.call~cl P I 0 at. JUXU AicGuire A F H to ask if any new type V T 0 L's might be oper~.ting in th~ ar~a. They said absolutely not--that exne r::.r:1enta l craft do not normally use the facilities at I~cGtitire. \Yhef& I SU!t'gestcd t h a,t l write to Blue Book, they a recd it might be a goo d idea. Incident~.lly, 1 am intercsled in a~iation, and ~tm familiar with :no s t t ypes of .a.i1craft flying. I a m rtuite convince._l that at no t~x time was 1 o bservir1g a conventional aircraft, a sate~lite, or a11y star, planet, or meteor~ .Anot l-! e r E!mploy .... e of the radio sta t.ion says tte saw the object at ~ery. low altitudr l a.st Wednesday night over the city of trenton. With him a t the time were several Trenton city policemen a.nd members of a local rescue S(it:ad. The a.l titucle was estimat ed at no more than t>OO feet.-'rhey also SR.~-that two F - l Or>' s from ~icGuire suddenly appeared and appeared to pursu~ ~t~ object. ~ ~ a. b out R 1 1 J c an r e 1 a, t e ~-bout t h e inc i dent I c an say t h a. t I hR.~e c~TPfully chec !(ed each local police department in tlte area, A.nd found tl'-::>Y have recieved no rcp()rts from area residcn ts. I thin!{ I know why. T~1e object does not 'll A.I<e any r;1.pid or exagerrated movements, and AP:1e a.r s t o he tryinv to ma.'<:~ itself as inconspicuous as possible(re the bus i ness with dim1Hing thr. lights when l turnPd on mine.)
