And now, dear Mr. I am taking the liberty of telling
you about an invention which the entire •orid •anta to
(I an only •ritlng the most facts,) Before the nr I intended
to make a toy, something which flies, and purely accidentally I discovered
a hitherto unknown aerodynamic law. I experimented furü*r, I inproved
and informed several conrades. T:ey were mthused and anigrated to
Souti herica. mere they tried it on their own responsibility, People
were killed md they failed to perfect the imcomplete invention. They
approached me again, they were only artisans, tlese flying •achines
were, of course, bunt primitively, rne first moerinents to fly •i u

(May 7th)

Dear Sir:-
Thursday evening 9:25 PM I
left school ( M.d. T) and
entered the parking lot along side
of the school. I happened to
look up and I saw what
seems to be known as a flying
saucer. I assume you it was
not an air plane, a search light
nor a falling star. It was round
in shape & a rather orange color
it traveled horizontally at a
rather slow speed for just a
few seconds then disappeared.
Just like that. I was not alone
at the time, another student was
with me & saw it. I can give
you his name if you
like. [illegible] it.

When I arrived home I spent approx
on half hour calling C.D. & Air Force
Ground operations etc. finally after
getting no answers I called the
Watertown police who nicely informed
me they didn't know what I should
do about it. It came as rather a
surprise to me, I thought that
there was supposed to be somebody
on lookout at all times. I do
not know to whom I should write &
in desperation am writing to you. I
do hope you will report this to the
proper authorities for me and I hope
you will suggest to the local C.D.
that they should have someone
or someone that a person could call
to report such findings. I would appreciate
very much a reply from you. May
I just add that I honestly don't know
what the unknown object was. I never
before saw anything like it. I would
be very happy to supply any other
information you would like.
Thanking you very much,
Sincerely [redacted]

Watertown, Mass.
