127 Blair Street Ithaca, New York May 15, 1952 To Whom It May Concern: his is to comply with a request made in the April 7th issue of Life Magazine in an article relative to Flying Saucers, etc. which asked that any persons seeing such oddities notify their nearest Air Force installation - which, in this case, is yours. On the evening of Thursday, April 3, my husband who is a Crew Chief at Robinson Airlines and has been engaged actively in aeronautics for 12 years, part of which was with the AAF, and a friend who is a school teacher and I were traveling in an automobile north along the west shore of Cayuga Lake when at a point about 7 miles from the city of Ithaca at 9:10 PM we saw a "Fireball" cross Cayuga Lake in an arc traveling very rapidly from Northeast to Northwest. It was a sizable ball of fire, green in color with green flames streaking out. This information was not forwarded sooner because I had not read the article and noted the request until today. Very sincerely yours, Signed: Mrs. Walter Lee Ott A CERTIFIED TRUE COPY TRUB COPY DONALD Le AO 2231652 Declassification Authority: NND 57565
