Dear Sir or Madam:
I am interested in purchasing information on the claim
of a Japan Air Lines pilot that he saw a UFO in Alaska
airspace. I have read the Associated Press article, stating
that materials are being sold piece-by-piece, or that the
whole package can be purchased for $194.30.
Since I do not want to purchase the entire package, I
would appreciate if you would send a list of each individual
item available for sale regarding this case and the price of
each.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Vought Cartier
