AI-Generated Summary
A 1960 UFO sighting report from Yukon, Canada, involving civilian pilots was deemed insufficient for evaluation by the Air Technical Intelligence Center. The investigation was terminated because the witnesses could not be located for follow-up questioning.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated military correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on May 29, 1960, in the vicinity of Champagne, Yukon, Canada. The report, filed by the 919th Squadron at Saskatoon Mountain Air Station, describes a visual observation of a single object approximately 50 feet in diameter with two flat sides. The object was reported to be tumbling at an estimated altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet. The witnesses were identified as civilian pilots based in Haines, British Columbia, and Anchorage, Alaska. Following the initial report (9190DC 4-138), the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base determined that the provided information was insufficient for a formal evaluation. The ATIC requested that the witnesses be re-interrogated in accordance with Air Force Regulation (AFR) 200-2, dated September 14, 1959. However, a subsequent message (9190DC 6-026) from the 919th Squadron informed the ATIC that the present whereabouts of the reporting pilots were unknown, rendering further investigation impossible. The case was ultimately closed with the conclusion that no analysis could be made due to the lack of data.
Due to very limited information, an analysis cannot be made. Request for additional information answered with statement that pilots reporting sighting could no longer be located.
