February 1974 misplaced documents

I cannot figure out where these 4 February documents go.

I have checked February 1974 and all the months around February 1974 and I can't find them.

As it is common for each month to have documents from different months. These 4 documents probably belong to some odd month in 1974 and well hidden from just a quick view through each month.

I will put them in a special file inside February so they can be distinguished.

Gentlemen:

Would you please be so kind...as to confirm...that you had on last Thursday's television news program, at 6 PM...the fact that a man in Williamsburg, Virginia (less than 100 miles from Cape Charles, Virginia)...saw a UFO in the sky, and took a photo of it with his camera?

Unfortunately I only saw the last minute of the telecast...and a friend here, Mr. Johnson, gave me the details of it. He had seen it en toto.

My work deals with following UFO reports...thus it would help me a great deal if you would kindly confirm that the above facts, as given to me by Mr. Johnson, are accurate.

Sincerely,
Owens

Dear Dr. Fogel:

It gives me pleasure...to send you this report. Last Thursday afternoon, at a minute to 6...I dialed in Ch. 13 news. A man was being interviewed on TV by a reporter from Norfolk. The man had a photo of a flying saucer in the sky. He had been making photos of the sky a few days before...and when developed, there was the UFO! I checked all the rest of the TV news programs that evening, but nothing further on it. I checked all of the newspapers for several days...not a word on it. Since I cannot document a fleeting glimpse of such on TV...am writing Ch. 13 for confirmation of the thing. The event occurred in Williamsburg, Virginia...well within our target area.

Best....
Owens

Dear Sir:

They mumbled your name over television...and didn't quite make it out. But anyway...am doing some writing, pro writing, on UFO happenings...and yours is very good. Could you drop me a letter and tell me exactly what happened to you...how you got the photo? Dates and all, okay? Can promise you...some scientists will get a look at the information you send me.

Dear Sir:

I received your letter via. Daily Press.

It was Sunday Afternoon approx 2 pm. I was taking pictures of cloud formations from my Hotel window. I am a traveling musician and I am presently engaged here in Williamsburg. I had no idea of what I had taken until I developed the film Sunday night. When I saw what I thought was a U.F.O. I immediately went to a local photographer who runs a photo store here in Williamsburg, from whom I buy my supplies. He examined the negative & confirmed my surprise, he brought it to N.A.S.A. Langley H.F. & their findings confirmed the picture. The facts surrounding the picture are equally astounding. The picture was taken with TRI-X High speed film on A.S.A. 400 shutter speed of 1/1000 sec with an orange filter to enhance cloud contrast. We found out the cloud were approx 1 mile high & Broken. The two theorys are that it rose on a 45° angle & sort of blurred the photo & estimated speed of 6,000 M.P.H. the other theory is it rose made a 90° turn a sped away with an estimated speed of 14,000 M.P.H. the startling fact that no sonic Boom was heard

I sincerely hope this information may help, enclosed you will find a reproduction of the original negative.
