[REDACTED] California, furnished the following information:

Concerning an individual who talked to him at Skylark Field at Elsinor, California who resembles the artist's conception of the hijacker of the Northwest aircraft in Seattle on November 24, 1971, [REDACTED] stated he has reviewed his thoughts and is certain he can narrow the time span to the middle or late part of August 1971 when this conversation occurred. He still believes it was strange that a person would ask questions about jumping out of jet aircraft and discuss air speed then have something like the hijacking that occurred happen a short time later. He also stated that it may be coincedental but he saw an advertisement on pages 46 and 47 of Look magazine dated August 24, 1971 showing a parachutist jumping out of a jet aircraft. He stated this may have stimulated questions by someone seeing this advertisement, however, he is still concerned since the individual he spoke to resembles the artist's conception of the hijacker. He does not know the name of the man he talked to and has not seen him since. He did state he believes he would recognize the man if he sees him again.
