AI-Generated Summary
A report of a silver-blue light sighted near Fogelsville, PA, on August 5, 1957. The investigation was closed due to a failure by local agencies to record the witness's contact information, rendering the case impossible to verify.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and an associated teletype message dated August 6, 1957, regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on August 5, 1957, near Fogelsville, Pennsylvania. The report originated from the Olmsted Flight Service Center in Pennsylvania and was transmitted to various military commands, including the Air Defense Command and the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The sighting involved a man and a woman driving in a car who observed a 'big illuminated light' that was 'silver blue' in color. The object was described as being at a 'very high' altitude and heading southwest. The male witness, who claimed to have had radar experience during the war, expressed his belief that the object was a 'flying saucer.' The information was initially received by the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center from a supervisor named Romeo Alpha, and subsequently passed through TWA and the Allentown CAA. However, the report notes that both the Reading and Allentown agencies failed to record the name, address, or phone number of the witness. Consequently, the investigating agency was unable to contact the witness to validate the report or obtain further details. The final conclusion recorded on the project card is that there was insufficient data for evaluation.
