Mr. Kenneth Wherry
United States Senate
Washington, D. c.
Dear Ur . Wherry:
On March 13 at 2:30, M.S.T. o'clock in
the afternoon I witnessed a strange sight in the
sky traveling at a very high rate of speed at a
very high altitude.
I was first attracted to this sight by
a noise of motor or whatever it was. It sound_
to me like that of a train r~mbling in the distance
of from 10 t~ 12 miles on a still day.
At first glance it looked like it might
be a vapor trail left by a high flying plane.
But
the white streak that was in the sky never changed
its shape or did it change in the di recti on of travel.
It traveled much faster than any plane I
have seen traveling in sky high enough to leave vapor
trai 1.
As near as I can describe this sight was
that it might appear to be a stream lined train
traveling at a very high altitude at very high rate
of speed.
This rocket or whatever it might have been
was high enough to disappear from sight while it
was yet very far above the hori2on.
I am not writing this so that it might
seem to be another disc, fan or whatever you might
call them .
I just saw this and it has been on my
mind ans I thought if there was anything that I
could be of help to solve this thin g I would write
this to you and you can forward this to the proper
Dept. if it is necessary. Thanking you kindly
Yours Truly
/s/ Kenneth ~Frasier

P.S.
This object was traveling from east to west.
It
looked 1ike it might have trave led over Denver,
