This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Millersville, Pennsylvania, in October 1964. The report includes correspondence from a fifth-grade student at the Laboratory School in Millersville to the Secretary of Defense, Robert MacNamara, inquiring if the object was a government project. The student reported seeing a 'whitish yellow thing' on October 22, 1964, between 3:15 and 3:45 P.M. A separate newspaper clipping included in the file notes that three students from Penn Manor High School—Molly DeHart, John Wolfe, and Becky Adams—also reported a flying saucer sighting on the same Wednesday, describing it as circular, white, and flying high. The official Air Force technical information form, completed by the student, describes the object as moving at an estimated 100 mph, covering a distance of one mile in 10 seconds. The witness described the object as '2 tea cup saucers with brims together.' The Air Force evaluation concluded that the case was based on insufficient data, noting inconsistencies in the reported speed and duration, and suggested the object might have been a meteor.
