THE HAINES COMMUNICATION

.

“Although I do not yet have enough reliable information concerning the relevant characteristics of the UFO phenomenon with which to form a scientific judgment of its “core” identity, I do believe that the phenomenon is objectively real; i.e., I believe that the many thousands of eyewitnesses around the world are experiencing UFO phenomenon in a manner very similar to the way any other human with normal sensory capabilities would perceive it if they happened to be present.”

Dear Sr. Gatia:

    Your letter of October 6, 1987 and accompanying items arrived today and

I am writing to thank you for them all. Your prompt and complete reply to my

survey is greatly appreciated. And I was delighted also to receive information

concerning pilot sightings from the Philippines. My own studies continue

on the various statistical patterns that are emerging from my data base of over

3,000 pilot reports. I am now preparing a book whcih will summarize the best

hundred or so reports.

    For your possible future use, I have taken liberty of enclosing a

copy of the special pilot reporting form I use in my studies. Please feel free

to use in any way you think is appropriate. You may copy it, modify it, etc.

to suit your own research. I do ask that you send me a copy of any future

forms that are completed by pilots. In this way we both may profit. You will

find that all its questions are important to our understanding of the core identity

of the UFO phenomenon.

    Also enclosed is an advertising flyer for a book which I published two

months ago. It is a true account of the now famous Frederick Valentich

disappearance in October 1978 south of Melbourne Australia. I had studied this

mystery for so long and had collected so much information that I finally just

put it all together in book form. It was eventually published. It costs

$12.95 US plus postage and many people have told me it is well done.

    Finally, if ou would be so kind, I would very much appreciate your sending

me a xerox copy of any files involving pilots which you may have. Of course I

will be glad to repay all copying charges. I can have text translated into

English if that is necessary. I have good friends who are translators on

Capul (Philippines) for the Wycliffe Bible Translators and who are fluent in

your language. My thanks for your consideration of this request. I will close

for now by sending my greetings and best wishes. Let us collaborate together

around the world on this great mystery of our tines.

Very sincerely,

Richard F. Haines, Ph.D.
