18th. November, 1955.
The Hon. T.P. Shand Minister of Civil Aviation WELLINGTON.
Dear Mr. Shand,
On my return to New Plymouth this morning, I received your letters of the 10th. and 15th. instant enclosing report from the Director of the Carter Observatory which I have found most interesting. The phenomenon observed by us on the 5th. instant seemed to me to be similar to what had been observed by Captain Rainbow, hence I took care to note the precise time and record what had been seen.
Naturally one abstains from giving these matters publicity, but I felt that in fairness to Captain Rainbow the matter should be referred to you.
Yours,sincerely.
The witness refreshes.
