AI-Generated Summary
A UFO sighting reported in Covina, California, in 1960 was closed as 'insufficient data' after the witness failed to return the requested Air Force questionnaires. The report highlights the administrative process for handling initial UFO inquiries.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Covina, California, on the afternoon of November 17, 1960. The primary record indicates that a letter was received from a witness claiming to have observed a UFO. The witness, who identified themselves as being associated with the American Rocket Research and Development Corp, requested a copy of a UFO reporting form to document the event, which they stated was witnessed by themselves and several other people. The Air Force responded by forwarding the requested questionnaire to the witness in Covina. However, the record card and the subsequent UFO Analysis Sheet confirm that the questionnaires were never returned to the Air Force. Because the witness failed to provide the necessary follow-up information, the investigating authorities were unable to conduct a formal evaluation of the incident. The case was officially categorized as having 'insufficient data' for evaluation. The documentation includes a memorandum from Colonel Philip G. Evans, Deputy for Science and Components, directing the forwarding of the questionnaires to the witness, as well as the final analysis sheet summarizing the lack of evidence.
Questionnaires sent to witness for completion were not returned. No information available upon which to evaluate sighting. Case listed as insufficient data.
