 Several webs ago a picture of a UFO was shown on the Dave Garroeesy show.
 It %.*s the famous Brazilian UFO.  It, was taken an babr'd the Brazilian
 Navy ICY ship in daylight and in full. view of about a hundred persons.
 It was developed aboard in the presence. %X the officers of the ship.
 It was certified as being authenitia 'by .be Navy, released to the press
 by the 8razilien President hiaself.  't 'van in that headlines of all the
 Brazilian newspapers for a week. It crested such tremendous public
 interest that a congressional, investtdatica followed, said as a result
 much more uFO information was made public.
 The Brazilians know about their UFOs. I have copies of themagaaitu
 o TPd1?  RO in which maav z"tsteading incidents are frankly and openly
 discussed.  I recent4y :-ecai;-red a seven pegs report on censorship in
 Brazil from Dr. Marc yazfizs, Brazil'st best known UFO researcher.
 What censorship there is in Brazil is largely at our insistence and the
 authorities don't Like even that much.  There have.. been an average of
 six to eight sightings/month for fifty months, and sometimes there are
 as many as thirty in a two hour period. Nov are these well informed
 people going to react to hearing their President and several" Navy
 officials called frauds? .
 Or course I as concerned about the affect of this an our campaign to
 get the UFO situation opened up in this country. But.I an oven more
 You may -act agree with this at present, Mr. Soberer, but the American
 Air Force is withholding evidence even from Ccspesanen, and I feel strongly
 that the time has long since cons when this dangerous situation should be
 cleared up.  ATIC has now admitted hiding the Project Grudge report by
 marking it "secret", and admitted that the CIA is involved in the UFO
 investigation.  On the other hand it has denied many serious incidents
 it had previously confirmed.  Why, why does there have to be secrecy at
 all?  r:st is the CIA covering so desperately that it is necessary to
 make such incredible charges against the head of a friendly government?
 I have a good understaa..ng o: 3cienti:ic method, and I am n:t   craft.-t.
 The Air Force "explanations" many times simply do not explain, and their
 statistics are obviously contrived.  The feeling about UFOs has changed
 in Cincinnati.  There hasn't been a tongue-in-cheek article published for
 over a year.  As General O'Keefe said last December, and Senator Johnson
 has said recently, UFOs are serious business.
 Won't you, Sir, lend your help by making a stand for open Congressional
 hearings? And if you feel you can't do that, at least do something stout
 the Brazilian affair.  Thank you.
