U.S. Air Force Technical Information Questionnaire - Bridgewater, Massachusetts, November 1964

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on November 17, 1964, in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The primary witness, a teenage girl, reported seeing two strange lights at 9:04 PM that were spinning and moving at what she described as 'incredible speed.' She noted the objects were diamond-shaped, approximately two feet in diameter, and appeared solid with multi-colored lights. A second observation was reported at 9:30 PM by another girl, who described a similar object at 100 feet in the air, making a noise similar to a helicopter. The witness submitted a detailed letter and a completed FTD Form 164 to the Air Force, requesting information on whether other reports of flying objects had been filed for that date. The Air Force responded on December 8, 1964, via Major Maston M. Jacks, acknowledging the letter and providing the formal questionnaire for further evaluation. The official Air Force analysis concluded that the sighting was likely a misinterpretation of a conventional object, such as an aircraft towing a banner or a helicopter flying at a low altitude with multiple lights, noting that the witnesses were teenagers and that there were likely inaccuracies in their reported observations of distance, speed, and altitude.
