TL;DR

A 1959 sighting of eight objects in Berea, Kentucky, was investigated by the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The case was closed as 'Insufficient Data' after the witnesses failed to return follow-up questionnaires.

This document file contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Berea, Kentucky, on 21 July 1959. The primary report describes an observation made by three individuals, including a woman and her brother, who were vacationing in the area. The witnesses reported seeing eight objects in the sky, which they described as being slightly larger than stars but brighter. The objects were observed moving from north to south, initially moving slowly, then accelerating to a high speed, and finally slowing down again. The witnesses reported no sound associated with the objects and noted that two of the objects in the line abreast formation nearly collided. The sighting lasted between five and ten minutes. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) attempted to follow up on the report by sending three copies of an Air Force questionnaire to the brother of the primary witness, requesting that he and the other two witnesses complete them. However, the documents were never returned to the ATIC, and as a result, the case was closed with the conclusion of 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The file also includes a note referencing a confidential message (HQA037, CITE COMOC-11) from Itizuke, Japan, though the relevance of this message to the Kentucky sighting is not explicitly detailed in the provided text.

Two of the line abreast objects almost collided.
