Your interesting letter of October 1 was well received and appre-
ciated. Although I cannot completely agree with your feelings on the
subject, I nontheless respect your opinion. and wish to thank you for
taking the time to answer.
It was refreshing to receive a negative letter that evidenced
clear and sound thinking. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for
some seven or eight-odd letters from scientists who, although thinking
much the same as you, have shown sarcasm and ridicule in expressing
themselves. This, I think, is not in line with good scientific thought..
Whether or not I can use your opinions in the book remains for
the publisher to decide. As I stated in my previous letter, the book's
purpose is to present a legitimate case for the UFO. Personally, I
would like to include a chapter containing the statements of men like
you who believe UFOs are natural phenomena or conventional objects
(although it would be a shame to put your statements in with those of
men less scientific in their approach) in order to be fair, but I have
reason to think the publisher might find such a chapter detracting to
the theme of the book.
I hesitate to contac
above reason: from my notes,
existence of UFOs.
re. the
It wou interest me to know with what USAF project you were
associated;
Again, my thanks, and best wishes.
Yours very truly,
