---- -- • March 19, 1969 John Edgar Hoover United States Department of Justice ~Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington 2.5, D.c. Dear Mr_, Hoover: December 1, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed. I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, ' to Mr. J. F.d.gar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover infonned me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be ~ forwarded to them, the C.A.B. Cl r~1 / ........ In the month of March, 196.5, the C.A.B., released a report that this ~.~ f accident and cause was due to a lightning strike. t-. o,. "" I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me , 0 ., ,..._ the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John 1:....; Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations. (."· ~ Upon reading the Official C. A.B. report on this accident and also I 0 u this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or ~ the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have p.~ z missed the point completely. ~ I claimed that the object which I seen was laying air mines and that this aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines. To substantiate m;y claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line 24 inclusive of this report File #1-001.5.
