17 December 1958 Colonel U.A. Adams, U.S.A.F. Topical Intelligence Division, U.S.A.F. Room 43863, The Pentagon Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: About a year ago I mailed for evaluation a 16mm Kodachrome original film to the Commanding Officer, Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The film was of unidentified flying objects sighted by my wife, my children and myself near Tronouton, Utah on 2 July 1952. It was forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio; and, later, to your office. I gave the Air Force permission to retain the original for use in the investigation of UFOs and a duplicate copy was forwarded to me. My copy of the film has been damaged by showing in a defective projector. If the Air Force has completed its evaluation of the film and has no further use for it, I would appreciate the return of the original to me at this time. If, however, there is a continuing need for the film, I would like to "borrow" the original film for a period of about four weeks to enable me to make a good duplicate print from it. I am forwarding a copy of this letter to the office of General Garland, in case the film is now located there. Your early attention to this request will be appreciated. cc: Major General Garland Commanding Officer Air Technical Intelligence Center Wright-Patterson AFS Dayton, Ohio DECLASSIFIED Authority NND 923007
