Dear

This letter is in regard of UFOs. I've just finished your book “Flying Saucer Occupants” and find it very interesting. The reason I am writing you is that having seen these saucers myself at McLeese Lake has really aroused my curiosity and I would really like to read and learn all I can of them. So would appreciate it if you could send me this information or give me information as to where I could get some. Thank you.

On three occasions I (and others) have seen these objects. Twice very low and close; once in the daytime and once at night. The third time was very high and odd. I will explain them as briefly as possible as you may find them interesting.

First I would like to explain that quite a few of us are interested in the sky and watched quite regularly on clear nights for satellite, etc.

The first time we saw one was on August the 2nd, 1967 at 8:00 PM.

I was in the garden and there were quite a few teenagers and children on the lawns. My son (he’s 11 years old) called my attention to a brilliant object in the sky. It was very low in the eastern sky traveling from north to south and it was very close. It appeared to come off Sheridian Hill which is about one mile away. It glowed with a very white light. The shape of it was like this (Oval). There was absolutely no sound and it traveled a straight course not too fast. It was quite a size.

The second time was August 26, 1967 at 10:00 PM.

I happened to be out on the front porch (which faces South and there are a few trees in front of the house across the Sub Road between the highway. There is also a low hill behind the lake in the horizon.) and just below the tree tops I saw a big red light moving along the hill in the horizon. It was traveling from the south to north. The light was huge in comparison to that of an aeroplane. There's no other light. The light was not blinking, it was rotating or pulsing. The colour was a kind of blood red. There were six adults that watched it here and some people down the road watched it with binoculars. They said light was hard on the eyes.

The third time was the same evening about 3:30 AM. It was rather odd.

I happened to get up for the baby at 3:00 AM and decided to look outside before going back to bed. It was a very night. I looked out the front window which faces South and a bright star caught my attention. It was in the southeast not too high. It was fairly big and flashing red and green. I lined it up with stars close to it and it never went out of line with them. I watched it for about half an hour, so I thought it was first a star.

I was going back to bed when I saw what appeared to be a satellite come over the southern horizon, so I stayed to watch it. It climbed in the sky towards the “star” and passed under it quite close. After it got just passed a short distance the “star” started after it and followed it. Then the “star” passed the “satellite” and disappeared behind the hills in the north and the “satellite” stopped in the northeast sky and remained there for the rest of the night in accordance with the stars. It was easy to watch because there were not many stars in the eastern sky and it was very clear and both objects were bright.

My neighbor saw them both moving and on as I got her out there too.

I thought this last one quite strange because if the two objects were in space which they must have been to stay with the stars and they certainly weren’t stars or satellites they must have been awfully big and quite a few other things

Yesterday I was reading a book by Aimé Michelle and there was a somewhat similar instant mentioned there.

I would like to know if you have heard of the same thing happening anywhere.

Thank you and I hope you can understand this, it's not too easy to write it down and explain it properly.
