Under terms of the U. S.

I also request a copy of all USAF-OSI-generated/received incident reports, investigatory reports, after-action reports, intelligence analyses, documentary correspondence (including memoranda for record, memos of telephone conversations, and briefing papers/charts), audio-tape recordings (plus their transcripts), and telex messages pertaining to Penniston's encounter and to the separate incident of Dec. 28, 1980, as documented by Bentwaters's then-deputy commander, Col. Charles I. Halt. 3. Since I submit this request as a representative of the news media (chiefly as a columnist for the newsstand monthly periodical UFO Magazine), I ask that you waive all records-search/review fees incident to your fulfilling this request. If you determine that one or more OSI Districts possess any of the requested records, please forward this letter to them for FOIA processing. 4.

S.-U.K-operated RAF Bentwaters caught the attention of a security team that included former USAF Sgt. James Penniston. By his whistleblower account, he managed not only to touch the black, triangular craft but also to capture it on black-and-white, 35-mm film for the roll's entire 36 exposures. Today, where lies that film (and any other related official documentary evidence); and why does the U. S. government insist on denying public access to it? If you (or someone you know) possess verifiable evidence leading to the film's whereabouts and to its public release, you may qualify for a $1,000 reward from me. The recently revealed conclusion of Bentwaters retired USAF deputy commander Col. Charles I. Halt that the craft encountered on Dec. 26 and 28, 1980, "was of extraterrestrial origin" elevates this case to the ultimate smoking gun of UFO reality. Your coming forward now can help compel Congress to demand full accountability for those two visitations. Contact: Larry W.
