This document is an incoming military message regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian near Dundee, Minnesota, on April 8, 1965. The observer, a retired mail carrier living alone on a farm, reported seeing a circular, metallic object approximately 6 feet in diameter. The object was observed hovering near the ground at an altitude of approximately 180 feet, emitting a brilliant light that resembled an arc welding light. The observer noted that the object caused static interference on his radio, which prompted him to investigate outside his farmhouse. The object was described as having a door that closed, at which point the light was extinguished and the object disappeared instantaneously to the south. The sighting lasted approximately two minutes. The report was filed 29 days after the incident occurred. During the subsequent investigation, the observer claimed to have had a previous, unreported encounter involving two Russian MiG aircraft on his property. The investigating official noted that due to the improbability of the reported MiG incident and the observer's personal circumstances, the credibility of the observation was considered doubtful. Consequently, the official conclusion was that the observer was unreliable and no further action would be taken regarding the case.
