Dear Mr. ______________



     Some things you have right, and some things you have

wrong.  The machine itself was obviously a landing vehicle

only, and it had no unusual features and no power plants

with which we were not quite familiar.  I believe it still

exists and is kept someplace near Wright Field.



     Your greatest error, of course, comes in the finding of

the bodies-- there were no bodies; there were four very 

normal individuals, all male.  Unfortunately, they had no

memory of anything in the past (probably by design), but

they were highly intelligent.  They learned the English

language within a few hours and it was our decision not to

make public spectacles of them, but allow them to be

absorbed into American culture as soon as we were sure that

they did not bring any contamination with them.  I believe

all four have done this very successfully.  One assumed a 

simple name and proved himself to be an expert on computers,

although he had not memory of such devices.  He became the

president and innovator for one of the largest and most

successful computer organizations.


     

     A second one became a world famous athlete, and because

of his quick reaction time, exceeded any normal person in 

his performances.  He is still a noted professional athlete.


     

     The third became enamored with finance at our

capitalistic system.  He has made himself famous as a Wall

Street raider, and is very rich.



     The fourth, I have lost track of and have no clues as

to where he might be.  However, I consider the decision to

let these people meld into American life, completely

justified, and I can see no point in trying to reverse that

decision.  I hope that you will let matters lie as they are.

The results are completely satisfactory, and nothing is to

be gained by further publicity.



                              Very truly yours,
