This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by a 15-year-old male from Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania, in August 1962. The witness reported observing three objects in the sky for two hours on the night of August 11, 1962. Using an 80-power telescope, the witness described the objects as solid, white, and half-moon shaped. The witness also noted that the objects appeared to move slowly upward. The report was submitted to the United States Air Force Security Service at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas. The Air Force conducted a review of the report and concluded that the sightings were likely astronomical in nature, identifying the objects as the planets Jupiter and Venus, as well as the stars Spica and Arcturus. Because of the 'meager technical data provided,' the Air Force determined that no further report to the Air Force Systems Command (Foreign Technology Division) was necessary. The file includes the original record card, the witness's personal correspondence, and the official response from the Command Information Officer, Major John H. Oliphant, to the witness.
To me it was a spaceship from another world. I have always said that man should know that he is the only human in the universe, there led to many events.
