UAP Sighting Report — Hazleton, Idaho, July 1964

This document is a U.S. Air Force sighting report concerning unidentified aerial phenomena observed near Hazleton, Idaho, in July 1964. The witness, a civilian, reported observing multiple objects over three consecutive nights. The objects were described as being two to five times brighter than stars and were observed moving in a 'zig-zag' manner while heading north at an elevation of approximately 10 degrees. The report includes a standard U.S. Air Force technical information questionnaire completed by the witness. The investigation into these sightings was handled by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD). According to notes provided by a Major Horkans, who was on duty at the Command Post, the sightings were relayed to the Mountain Home Command Post. The official conclusion reached by the FTD was that the observed phenomena were likely the result of aerial refueling operations being conducted in the area during those three nights. Major Horkans confirmed that refueling operations were indeed taking place during the period of the reported sightings.
