Keyhoe, Director National Investigating Committee on Aerial Phenomena Washington, D. C. Dear Major Keyhoe: Long before your book, "Flying Saucers Are Real", was published, my B-17 and my crew and I were kept company by a “Foo Fighter", a small amber disc, all the way from genfurt, Austria to the Adriatic Sea. This occurred on a "lone woiftt mission at night, as I recall, in 1944 in the 15th Air Force, 5th Wing, 2nd Bomd Group. The intelligence officer who debriefed us stated that it was a new German fighter but could not explain why it did not fire at us or, if it was reporting our heading, altitude and air- speed, why we did not receive anti-aircraft fire. On about 13 October 1952, while I was copilot on a C-54% Troop Carrier mission out of Tachikawa and heading South toward Oshima at dusk, I noticed in the strato-cunmu- lus formation Westward what appeared to be a perfectly round cloud. After watching it for about a minute, and deciding it wasn't a eloud, I called it to the attention of the pilot and engineer. The pilot was intent upon his flight plan but the engineer got several good glimpses of the object. Seven minutes after I first saw it, it teok an eliptical shape and sped off to the West, disappearing within a few seconds, toward Mount Fuji. While atationed at McClellan AFB near Sacramento, California from July, 1955 to December, 1957, I noticed a tremendous number of luminous blue-green objects trans- cending the sky from horizon to horizon in an instant. On an AOC mission one night off the California Coast I had the raéio operator report such an observation. He, and a day or two later one of our intelligence offficers, told me that the same object was reported by an airline pilot. As a crusader for truth I believe that I understand the difficulties under which you and your associates labor, and I would like to offer my services. I am coming to Wash- ington soon for an appointment with Senator Cooper and if it is not inconvenient would like an appointment with you. I am enclosing a copy of Form 57 for your information.
