## THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION

THIS IS UNREVALUATED INFORMATION

SOURCE Naturalized US citizen of Hungarian extraction. He corresponds regularly with two nieces living in Budapest.

1. In November 1955 I received a letter from my niece in Budapest. This letter contained the following interesting item [free translation]:
"The so-called flying saucers (rockets) [sic] for several weeks kept the people in a nervous state. These very fast speeding flyers kept scientific groups very busy. I'm sure you heard already from the papers, 12 thousand km per hour was estimated on these flyers."

2. Included with the letter was the following sketch indicating the formation and suspected course of the above objects:

Budapest
Moscow

3. This is the first time my niece has mentioned such objects in her letters.

4. [Available on loan from CIA Library is a photostatic copy of original letter in Hungarian and an English translation. The excerpt quoted in para. 1 is marked in brackets in this letter. UNCLASSIFIED] - [Confidential]
