AI-Generated Summary
A civilian report of three red, oval-shaped objects seen over Lake Quaboag, Massachusetts, in September 1964. The Air Force concluded the report was submitted too late for investigation and likely represented a misidentification of astronomical bodies or aircraft.
This document contains a sighting report submitted to the Project Blue Book Information Office regarding an event that occurred on September 4, 1964, in Brookfield, Massachusetts, near Lake Quaboag. The report was written by a witness on May 18, 1965, and mailed to the Air Force. The witness, along with two others, observed three objects over the course of two hours, between 8:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. E.S.T. The witness described the objects as appearing as bright red specks in the sky to the naked eye. When viewed through binoculars, the objects were described as oval-shaped, red, with a ring around them and a pole protruding from the top. The objects reportedly flew at high speed, circled the lake, and returned multiple times, eventually appearing with a third object before disappearing. The official Air Force evaluation concluded that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation, noting that the report was submitted too long after the event to investigate effectively. The Air Force suggested the sighting was likely a misinterpretation of an astronomical body, such as a star or planet, or possibly aircraft activity.
The UFO (seen clearly through binoculars) was completely red, oval shaped, a ring around it and a pole coming from the top of it.

Official Assessment
Sighting is characteristic of a misinterpretation of an Astro Body such as a star/planet if the motion is confined to a small area of the sky. Possible a/c activity included. Insufficient data for an evaluation.
The report was submitted too long after the incident (May 1965 for a September 1964 event) to conduct a proper investigation.
