Sighting Report — Morgantown, North Carolina, 3 February 1965

This document contains a sighting report and subsequent correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Morgantown, North Carolina, on the night of February 3, 1965. A civilian witness, who identified themselves as having an interest in astronomy, reported observing four objects at different intervals within a 50-minute period. The witness described three of the objects as having fading red colors, while the fourth was described as large and bright with a gold streak. The objects were reported to be moving fast, traveling from the West toward the Southeast. The witness wrote to the Project Blue Book Information Officer at the Pentagon requesting information on contemporary UFO sightings in Virginia. In response, Lt. Colonel John P. Spaulding of the Air Force's Community Relations Division provided a formal reply dated March 3, 1965. The Air Force concluded that the motion of the objects was consistent with satellite observations and attributed the sighting to a misinterpretation of satellites or aircraft. The file includes the original sighting form (FTD SEP 63 0-329), the witness's letter, and the official Air Force response.
