Re: Unidentified Flying Objects

Dear Sir:

On June 12, 1956, a letter was directed to your office reporting information furnished by Sgt. Gordon Richardson, Kennewick, Washington Police Department, relative to his sighting of an unidentified flying object. Sgt. Richardson has contacted our Senior Resident Agent at Richland, Washington on a number of times since his original reporting of this incident and has stated that he is most anxious to talk to a representative of the Air Force concerning his observations of this unidentified flying object. Sgt. Richardson stated that he had some new information which apparently is not a new observation, but some theories on his previous sighting, which he desires to pass on to the appropriate representative of the Air Force. Sgt. Richardson has been advised that his original information was turned over to your office and that his subsequent contacts will also be furnished to you for your information. This matter was discussed with Major Russell Womack of your office on October 9, 1956 and he suggested that this letter be forwarded.
