TT:

OK, could the Navigator have been there?

MO:

Could have been, I—Like I say, I didn't know these guys and I didn't ask any questions, I mean, the meeting started, and everything went real quick and then we separated and went out and filled out our papers.

TT:

Yeah, OK, so that's four, can you... any chance at any...?

MO:

Maybe, maybe a couple of the Air Police guys, the SAT teams

TT:

Yeah, I'm trying to think who it could have been, you know. You might have had some guys from Juliet or Mike—

MO:

Yeah, I think I remember Juliet getting involved in some of the conversations with us over the radio.

TT:

Do you remember Mike being involved at all?

MO:

Nah.

TT:

Yeah, the B-52 flew over Mike Flight the whole time. I would have thought they would be involved. The meeting lasted how long?

MO:

Not very long. Half hour maybe, if that.

TT:

And the purpose of the meeting was what?

MO:

To just get us together and get our statements on paper.

TT:

OK, so he didn't seem that interested in interviewing you personally.

MO:

No.

TT:

He didn't sit there and ask you questions and have you respond?

MO:

He may have asked a few questions.

TT:

So basically he got you there and he said "Here's what you're going to do, fill out this—"

MO:

Right, "Fill out these papers," and that's the last I heard of it 'til—I guess we got that statement from Blue Book about, it was in that report that you had that talked about Sirius lights and the investigation—

TT:

Oh, you saw that?

MO:

Yeah. I think that was sent to me, I thought it was a letter, and I had looked through all the papers I had from the Air Force and I couldn't find anything on that UFO sighting, I don't know what happened to those papers. But I remembered, after I read the paperwork that you guys sent us and I went through that and I said, "Oh, that's the form I was looking for."

TT:

[Turning pages in binder] Oh, this form you're talking about? If you look here there's a copy sent to the 862nd—this is a letter, this is his final report, that's Blue Book's final report. There's a resume or sequence of events—

MO:

Yeah.

TT:

Is that what you saw there?
