[The following letter was printed in the above periodical. It was accompanied
|
|||
|
|
by three photos showing an object with port hole like spots around it
|
|||
|
|
periphery. The quality is superb considering it is a photocopy of the
|
|||
|
|
original newspaper. Here in lies the story.]

"To Whom it May Concern:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the night of November 11th I took the pictures you now see before you. I
|
|||
|
|
was reluctant at first to show them to any one but my family but my wife
|
|||
|
|
convinced me to show them to Ed. Ed in turn said that the photos should be
|
|||
|
|
shown to the press. That is why he is presenting them to you.
|
|||
|
|
I had just sat down to dinner when I saw the object from my window. I
|
|||
|
|
rushed to my bedroom to get my Polaroid. I rushed outside and started taking
|
|||
|
|
pictures. I got off four pictures (5,6,7,8) and then had to change film. I
|
|||
|
|
got one more good picture (1) before it shot straight up and disappeared.
|
|||
|
|
There may be some reasonable explanation for what I saw but I don't think
|
|||
|
|
so. The "ship" looked about the size of a small house. It was, however,
|
|||
|
|
quite some distance away and hard to tell. It hovered in the sky for several
|
|||
|
|
minutes and then left. It did not spin or rotate but it did seem to bob up
|
|||
|
|
and down while weaving slightly. It glowed from the bottom as if that may be
|
|||
|
|
the power source. The markings (windows?) on the top there appeared to be a
|
|||
|
|
dome or bump that was quite bright. There was nothing colorful about it - no
|
|||
|
|
flashing lights, no beams coming from it. None of that "Star Wars" stuff; it
|
|||
|
|
was just a dull gray-blue "thing".
|
|||
|
|
I don't think that it was military but you may want to check It was quite
|
|||
|
|
big and I don't think I was alone in seeing it. I wish to remain anonymous but
|
|||
|
|
if these photos and story spark any interest from your readership I may
|
|||
|
|
identify myself. I am a prominent citizen of the community however and need
|
|||
|
|
anonymity at this time. I know what I saw and would feel much better if I
|
|||
|
|
know if I was not alone.
|
|||
|
|
Let me reassure you that this is not a hoax. I saw what I saw, took
|
|||
|
|
pictures of it, and have given these pictures to you. I wish I could come
|
|||
|
|
forward but can not; for while I have nothing to gain, I have everything to
|
|||
|
|
lose. Thank you for your time and understanding."
