Mark,

Your reference to Ruppelt on page 24.  Ruppelt's "The Report On
Unidentified Flying Objects" was published in many editions.  I
have both the Ace Book paperback, 1956 and the Fieldcrest
Publishing 1965 version and neither has this reference on page
24.  Which edition are you referring to and what chapter and
paragraph?

Thanks,

Gary Alevy
