A civilian witness in Deford, Michigan, reported multiple UFO sightings to the Air Force, which were dismissed as unreliable. The document includes the official record card and the witness's frustrated correspondence with military officials.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a civilian witness from Deford, Michigan. The record card, dated June 18, 1963, summarizes a sighting from January 1964 (noting a discrepancy in dates) where the witness reported seeing 'specks' that formed into four balls, moved in various directions, and an 'egg shaped object' that crossed her house. The Air Force concluded the report was unreliable, noting that the witness frequently reported flying saucers and provided no specific data. The accompanying correspondence reveals a persistent and frustrated civilian who contacted Senator Pat McNamara to facilitate communication with the Air Force. The witness expresses skepticism regarding the Air Force's explanations, specifically mentioning a 'sonic boom' as an unsatisfactory answer. She also references Major Donald Keyhoe and expresses her belief that the objects are extraterrestrial in origin. The correspondence highlights the tension between the civilian witness and the military's investigative process, with the witness accusing the Air Force of 'burying' reports and being unhelpful.
