AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported a fast-moving bright light in the sky to the Air Force in November 1964. The Air Force responded by providing a formal reporting form, but the case was ultimately closed due to a lack of follow-up information from the witness.

This document file contains correspondence between a civilian in Temple City, California, and the United States Air Force regarding a UFO sighting. On November 13, 1964, a civilian wrote to the Air Force describing a sighting of a 'bright light in the sky' that appeared to be moving 'very fast' a couple of days prior. The civilian also expressed interest in military technology, specifically mentioning the XB-70 and books on World War I and II. In response, Major Maston M. Jacks of the Air Force's Pictorial Branch, Public Information Division, wrote back on December 16, 1964. Major Jacks informed the correspondent that the Air Force had no evidence of 'flying saucers' and provided a copy of FTD Form 164 for the formal reporting of future sightings. The official FTD evaluation form (FTD SEP 63 0-329) indicates that the case was closed as 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION' because the requested follow-up information was not received from the witness after 60 days.

There has never been any evidence received or discovered by the Air Force indicating that there are such things as "flying saucers".
