Mr. Kenneth Arnold,
Boise, Ide.ho
Dear Mr. Arnold:
I have just read an aocount in the Chicago Tribune oonoerning
an aerial train composed or at least 9 units shaped like a
pie-plate and silvery in color, traveling at 1200 m.p.h. near
Mount Ranier, as witnessed by you while flying in the vicinity.
This is quite important to me, because I have in my possessjon
numerous independent confirmations of what you saw. although none
in as great detail as your account.
I am interested in publishing
an article in our magazine, written from a personal aooount by
yourself, and accompanied by pix of yourself. plane, and rough
sketches by yourself, of what you saw.
If you oare to do this for me, I am prepared to pay our usual
rates of 2¢ perword, plus $5.00 for each photograph you can
provide, or for each sketch which can be used by our art staff
to illustrate the article.
Included in this material, we'd like a short biographical
sketch of yourself as •author background• material. The
article anuld appear under your by-line.
If you are not interested, I w,uld at least appreciate a
letter from you, confinning the newspaper story.
Very truly yours,{ ~
A. Palmer
