SIR: Could you please through your paper ask your readers if they noticed anything strange on the 12th August 1996 and on the 16th August.

This could be very important in my investigation. I belong to

the direct investigation group on ariel phenomena, and have been investigating UFOs for 30 years.

All information will be treated in confidence.
