UFO Sighting Report — Baltimore, Maryland, January 1965

This document contains a series of correspondence and a formal U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Baltimore, Maryland. The primary report, filed on a Form 164, details a sighting by a 10-year-old youth who claimed to have observed an object described as a 'very large egg' with a 'dusty gray' color, accompanied by a short tail and smoke. The witness reported observing the object on and off since October 1964. The sighting on 22 January 1965 lasted approximately 10 minutes and 45 seconds. The witness also alleged the presence of 'little people' inside the object who were 'taking grass and sand.' The Air Force, through Major Mason M. Jacks of the Office of Information, responded to the witness, noting that the report lacked sufficient information to identify the object. The official Air Force conclusion stated that the report likely represented a misinterpretation of an aircraft with a contrail, exacerbated by the 'overactive imagination' of the youth. The file includes the original correspondence from the witness to the Air Force and NASA, as well as the completed technical questionnaire.
