UFO Sighting Report — Lakeland, Florida, 20 November 1964

This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by a 13-year-old witness in Lakeland, Florida, on November 20, 1964. The witness reported observing a bright orange, star-like object for approximately 35 seconds. According to the witness, the object moved in a straight line from the west to the northwest at an estimated speed of 2,000 to 4,000 mph before fading from view. The witness explicitly noted that there was no sound and that the object did not appear to be a reflection, as they removed their glasses to confirm the sighting. The report includes a hand-drawn diagram by the witness showing the object's path relative to the moon and stars. The Air Force investigation, documented on FTD Form 164, concluded that the data was conflicting. Specifically, the initial letter from the witness indicated a speed of 500-700 mph and movement toward the northwest, while subsequent reports contained variations. Furthermore, the Air Force noted that the ECHO I and II satellites were not in the area at the time of the observation, leading to the classification of the case as conflicting data.
