(Told we had no knowledge of a reward offered, he replied, "I know there is one.")

Asked where he got this information, he replied, "[redacted]"

Didn't sound like a nut, or high or drunk. Trifle excited. Started conversation by asking whether I was reporter, given [redacted], asked my name which I gave, [redacted] then asked me[redacted] if I had a pencil, told me to take "this down". When I declined to do anything until I knew what it was about, he asked,

"How would you like to know about a hijacked plane?"

So I took notes. As soon as he hung up I typed this out. Vss
