DEAR EDITORS,

For several years I have taken a serious outlook towards aerial phenomena. At first I was quite skeptical, but after studying hundreds of individual cases from all over the world I have come to the logical conclusion that Unidentified Flying Objects, commonly known as Flying Saucers are of extraterrestrial origin. I would like to say that A.P.R.O. has done a magnificent job of seeking out the facts concerning this unnatural phenomenon. As well as being complimentary, my letter is intended to bring to light two sightings made by a friend of mine of UFOs. A former Canadian Air Force & Army officer, he is working hard to become a first class radio operator. I will refrain from using his name at the moment as I have not yet asked his permission. Last month, in late December, there was a rash of sightings of UFOs at Nelson, British Columbia where dozens of people reported seeing cigar-shaped objects hovering, and speeding across the skies. It was at this time my friend and his family were on their way to visit some relatives. The sky was clear and it was getting dark. As they drove along my friend noticed an object in the eastern sky which kept growing larger as it got closer. He said, “As it got closer I noticed it was cigar-shaped and several colours, green, red, blue. It moved in a westerly direction for about two minutes, then it shot straight up and away like an arrow! The official explanation for these sightings were that they were nothing but "balloons" sent up by some children. HOWEVER, only the gullible will accept this explanation. My friend says that a friend of his had seen a similar object a few hours later. It is hard to understand, with so much evidence at hand, how the existence of UFOs can be denied. I would like to congratulate Mr. & Mrs. LORENZEN for their brave efforts in trying to solve the UFO mystery. I would appreciate information about a subscription to the APRO Bulletin.

ALL THE BEST.

YOURS TRULY,
JOHN ROBERT ADAMS.
