UFOB Index Card — Lakeport, California, 22 July 1956

This document consists of a UFOB Index Card (AIS5-UFOB-393-56) documenting a sighting that occurred on July 22, 1956, in Lakeport, California. The report indicates that two objects were observed flying in a westerly direction for a duration of three to four seconds. The observation was classified as a civilian sighting. The report was processed via AF Form 112, received from Headquarters WADF. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency was that there was insufficient data for evaluation, primarily due to the extremely short duration of the sighting. The index card notes that a pastel drawing of the objects was provided for analysis. The file also includes several pages of extraneous material, including a reproduction of a magazine article from LIFE magazine (June 1952) discussing historical UFO sightings, such as those involving Kenneth Arnold and Thomas F. Mantell, and a drawing attributed to Mrs. Lincoln La Paz. Additionally, the file contains business cards or advertising art for 'Chuck Anderson Advertising Art' in San Francisco, which appear to be unrelated to the official sighting report. The primary administrative record is the index card itself, which serves as a summary of the incident for the Air Force's UFO investigation program.
