AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a high-speed aerial object in Barberton, Ohio, in 1965. The Air Force Foreign Technology Division deemed the report insufficient for analysis due to conflicting data and the witness's failure to provide requested follow-up information.
This document collection details a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Barberton, Ohio, on March 30, 1965. The witness, an engineer at Hale & Nullgren, observed an object at approximately 8:10 P.M. E.S.T. The witness described the object as maneuvering at an altitude of 150,000 to 200,000 feet, initially appearing similar to an interceptor aircraft before performing a vertical dive and an upward corkscrew maneuver. The witness estimated the speed at 46,800 mph and noted the object emitted a 'clear silvery white COOL type of light.' The report was processed by the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) District 5 and forwarded to the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The FTD determined that the initial report provided insufficient data for a formal evaluation. Consequently, the FTD requested that the observer complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more comprehensive details. Correspondence between the FTD and Hq USAF SAFOI-CC indicates that the requested information was not returned by the observer, leading to the final conclusion of 'insufficient data' due to the conflict in the reported duration and maneuvers, and the lack of follow-up from the witness.
The most valuable part of the sighting was that this craft flew in a very particular flight pattern(much the same as an earth man would fly it). It came down in a vertical dive culminating in a long corkscrew downward spiral and then manuvered into an upward corkscrew turn
