AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

An 11-year-old reported a spherical UFO in Cudahy, Wisconsin, during a 1964 lunar eclipse. The Air Force investigated the claim but ultimately classified the report as unreliable due to conflicting data.

This document details an investigation into a UFO sighting reported by an 11-year-old witness in Cudahy, Wisconsin, on December 18, 1964. The witness claimed to have observed a spherical object moving at high speed from the northeast to the south during a lunar eclipse. The witness reported that the object changed color and appeared to be on a collision course with them. The Foreign Technology Division of the Air Force Systems Command reviewed the report and concluded that the data was conflicting and unreliable. While analysts noted that the duration, speed, and arc distance were consistent with a meteor, the description of color changes and the flight path did not align with that explanation. The Air Force ultimately informed the witness that no unusual objects or phenomena were observed in conjunction with the lunar eclipse, and they were unable to determine the cause of the reported sighting.

The statement that the objects seemed like it was going to ram him is not in accord with the flight path from northeast ending in the south, unless there was a change in course of the reported object.

Official Assessment

No object observed in conjunction with the Lunar Eclipse. Conflicting data in report. Regarded as an unreliable report.

Analysts were unable to determine the cause of the observation, though they noted the duration, speed, and arc distance suggested a meteor, which was contradicted by the reported color change and flight path.
