UAP Sighting Report — Homer, New York, April 11, 1964

This document details a UAP sighting reported by a former U.S. Air Force pilot in Homer, New York, on April 11, 1964. The witness, a physiotherapist, was having a picnic with his family when they observed unusual aerial phenomena. The report includes a formal sighting form, correspondence between the witness and Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, and detailed sketches provided by the witness. The witness described seeing a large, white jet-like trail that broke into a black spiral formation. Later, a second, pencil-shaped object appeared, which moved rapidly, hovered, and eventually divided into two parts. The witness, drawing on his aviation experience, emphasized that the objects were not conventional aircraft or cloud formations. Dr. Hynek, in his correspondence with Major Hector Quintanilla of the Foreign Technology Division, expressed interest in the case, noting the witness's reliability and the lack of a clear explanation. The document includes several sketches illustrating the objects' appearance and behavior as observed through binoculars. The official conclusion recorded on the sighting form is 'UNIDENTIFIED'.
