PAGE 7 OF 9 PAGES Dear Sirs: Att: TDPT (UFO) 11/13/68 This letter is in answer to your communication of November 19,1968. I am deeply chagrined at be a UFO object the 13th having reported what seemed to of November. On the night in question (about 5 :55P. M. ) there were low hanging clouds coming from the West. What appeared to be a series of floating objects would appear moving from Northwest to Southwest and then disappear. This series appeared twice within two to three minutes apart, (at which time I called Wright Patterson AFB. ) After this time, approximately 6 P. M. no further sighting was about 6 :45 P. M., still observing, the heavy cloud bank lifted and approximately due West, but well beyond the skyline a search light was observed moving from North to South and casting the same brilliance on the scattered clouds as was first noticed. On careful observation this had to have been t he reflection of the searchlight on the heavy low hanging clouds Very truly yours , Dt::PA~II\~ZNT O F 1 :-;:;: ~IN FO~CE HEADQUARTERS FOREIGN TC:CHt 'OLOGY OIVI~ION I AF!#C) WRIGHTPATTERSON A I R FORCC: OASC OHIO 4!5433 TDPI' (UFO) , 13 November 1968 UFO Observatio:l rcanum, Ohio 45304 Your nnr.1e hns been given to the Aerial Phenomena Office (?roject f11ue Book) as beine e. ,:itness to an unidentified flying object.
