UFO Report — Soudan, Minnesota, September 1964

This document contains a collection of reports and correspondence regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings in 1964, primarily centered around a report from Soudan, Minnesota. On September 28, 1964, a civilian witness observed a circular, lighted object near Skelton Lake. The witness described the object as having a surface with wrinkles similar to a pumpkin. The object traveled from North to South, performed a 180-degree turn, and then a 90-degree turn to the East before disappearing over the tree tops. The witness noted that the object's speed was steady and comparable to a small plane, and that a noise resembling an airplane engine was heard during the 90-degree turn. The Duluth Air Defense Sector (ADC) investigated the incident, concluding it was a 'possible sighting of light a/c on VFR flying below overcast.' The file also includes various other reports of sightings from across the United States, including fireballs in Missouri and sightings in California and Ohio, as well as correspondence from the Air Force to civilians regarding the nature of UFO reports and the official position of the Air Force on the subject.
