Re Seattle report of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL dated 2/16/72, and Los Angeles tel call to Seattle 10/2/73.

On 10/1/73, [redacted] in Torrance, California who resides at [redacted] , Hawthorne, California, advised the Los Angeles Division as follows:

On 9/26/73, he and [redacted] in Northern California in an area in the Pulmas Forest about 20 miles from Honey Lake, California. [redacted] [redacted] had noticed a piece of orange material protruding from beneath a bush. Upon removing the material from beneath the bush they found it to be a portion of a parachute bound up with parts of a nylon cord line, so that it was about the size of a football. Other portions of the parachute as well as short pieces of nylon cord were also located under the bush.

[redacted] made available a portion of the parachute which they had found, which he described as about one fifth of the parachute. Examination of this portion of the parachute revealed it to have white and orange panels. He also made available several short pieces of white nylon cord appearing to be cut up sections of shroud.

A review of referenced Seattle report pages 229- 230 reveals the two parachutes missing from the victim air- craft upon its arrival in Reno, Nevada, were described as white in color. Neither parachutes were described as having any orange panels.
