Dear Mr. Hoover:
Here is a bit of information which may be of great signi­
ficance, or may be merely an observation of a sientific experi­
ment. It may be known by military authorities and the AoEoC. or
only a few may have seen it and none reported it to the right
place. Here it is. Can you pass it to the rig~t persons?
Last May one afternoon I saw four beam~ in the sky passing
from the northwest to the southeast and converging in the
Cascade mountains. In those four narrow beams small slou.d§ vvere
forming. And where the beams met apparently against the mountains
a great explosion effect was to be seen. I wou~d say that· they
were visible for at least 10 minutes or longer.
D
The sight brought to mind an article read before the war
about experiments carried on in Europe with various types of
radio beams to effect rainfall. I would guess that I had seen
the article. in the Science Digest.
The Columbia River flood of last summer and the unusual
precipitation this winter have forced me to_feel that this
observation of mine should be sent somewhere in the interest
of national security.
I have one son in the Air Cor~and anothercwbtkg with the
A.E.C. at Hanford which causes me to ptay for peace,· as weli
as the fact that as a minister I deplore.the waste and tragedy,
of war. That is one reason that I have fefrained from passing
id~as that might incite warlike attitudes.
these words to paragraph two. The explosion effect
a height of about ten thousand feet.
Sincerely,
_,,.
