UFO Sighting Report - Killeen Base, Texas, 8 July 1964

On 8 July 1964, at approximately 0050Z, fifteen military personnel from MP Company C at Killeen Base, Texas, observed unidentified aerial phenomena. The witnesses, who held Top Secret clearances, reported two separate sightings. The first involved a formation of five lights, and the second involved a single light and an orange blob. The objects were observed moving from south to north and then west to east, performing maneuvers that included hovering and moving up and down. The witnesses reported that the objects made absolutely no sound. The sightings lasted for approximately twenty minutes at an estimated altitude of 2,000 feet. The observers initially assumed the lights were related to 'halo' activity, though checks with Fort Hood and Gray Army Air Field operations indicated no aircraft were operating in the area after 2400 hours on 7 July 1964. Major Richard S. Priem and S/A Donald Bryan submitted the report, noting that the base command felt a valid analysis could not be made locally. No physical evidence was found, and the objects were noted to have appeared over a classified area.
