SUBJECT: INFO RE STRANGE FLYING OBJECT

On instant date, MRS. RUTH LINHOFF, 9040 Mercer Way, Mercer Island, Wn., advised that on July 7, 1959 while walking on a stretch of beach in the vicinity of LA PUSH, Wn., she observed a man dressed in neat sun tans walking on the beach some distance away. This man appeared to be carrying a quantity of rope hung in loops from his arm. LINHOFF advised that she was aware of a series of brilliant flashes which she supposes emanated from the sky. Shortly after noticing the flashes, MRS. Linhoff noted a parachute floating in from over the ocean and it appeared that the man on the beach had in some manner attached his rope to it. The complainant stated that just before noticing the chute she heard a swishing like blast reminiscent of the noise made by fourth of July sky rockets.

The man was described as white, male, large (over 6') strong features, about 30 yrs.
