Correspondence Relating to Project Blue Book, 1955

H -385 12/31/54 3321 W. Grenshaw Str. Chicago 24, Ill. C/S Dec 1/1954 My dear, Mr. Sec. of the Air Force: I am addressing this letter to you because I have good reason to believe that you above all would know about such things. In the past five years I have become extremely interested in flying saucers and anything to do with them. I am in my last year of high school and have been wondering about what kind of a course in college that might prepare me for a future hope of investigating these objects. Although your department has said that there is no such thing as a U. F. O. and since there is no such thing as a U F O there is no need to investigate them I would like your honest opinion of what I should do about my fascination for these saucers and my hope of being fit to examine anything to do with them. Since many of the worlds most famous scientists are now working on these saucers and so many have voiced their opinion on them, I do not thing that I am out of place in writing to you about them. I would appreciate a reply from you personally. Most respectfully yours, Howard Sockel P. S. If I am not too bold in telling you a little honest advice. I wish that your department would go back to the policy of slowly letting the public know about these saucers instead of hiding the evidence. NW 91198 DocId:34745775 Page 25
