AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported two starlike objects over Galveston, Indiana, on June 6, 1964. The Air Force determined the report lacked sufficient data for analysis and requested further documentation from the witness.

This document contains a Project Blue Book record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Galveston, Indiana, on June 6, 1964. The witness, a plumber and steamfitter from Kokomo, Indiana, reported observing two white, starlike objects for approximately two hours and ten minutes. One object remained stationary directly overhead, while the second object approached from the north, performed a counterclockwise maneuver around the first, and eventually disappeared to the south. The witness described the objects as appearing higher than aircraft capabilities. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base reviewed the report and determined that it lacked sufficient data for a formal analysis. Consequently, the FTD requested that the witness complete a FUD Form 164 to provide more detailed information. Lt Col Arthur L. Hinkle, the investigating officer, noted that all conventional explanations had been exhausted, with the exception of the possibility of the Echo satellite or Apollo vehicles, though the headquarters lacked specific information on those systems to confirm such an identification. The document includes a list of astronomical observations, such as the positions of Spica, Regulus, and Arcturus, which were likely used to evaluate the sighting.

Exhausted all possible explanations except that of the Echo satellite and Apollo vehicles.
