UFO Sighting Report, 14 November 1964, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
AI-Generated Summary
A report of three reddish, unidentified objects seen in Wisconsin on November 14, 1964. The case was investigated by Dr. J. Allen Hynek and officially classified as an unknown.
This document collection details a UFO sighting reported by a doctor in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, on the evening of November 14, 1964. The witness, who was studying constellations with two young girls, observed three reddish-hued objects traveling in a straight line from North to South. The objects were described as dim, lacking the scintillation of stars, and having a trailing edge with additional luminosity. The duration of the sighting was estimated at five to six seconds. Despite the presence of another adult, Dr. Rudy Martin, he did not observe the objects. The report was forwarded to Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a civilian consultant for the Air Force, for evaluation. Dr. Hynek investigated the case and concluded that while birds were a potential explanation, there was no identifiable source of light to account for the objects' appearance, and he ultimately classified the case as an unknown. The documentation includes official correspondence between the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Dr. Hynek, as well as the original report form and a follow-up letter from Dr. Hynek to Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., summarizing his findings and the witnesses' descriptions.
