- [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."
