UFO Sighting Report — Miami, Florida, April 25, 1965

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report and associated correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on April 25, 1965, in Miami, Florida. The witness, a student who had been maintaining a file on UFO information and had recently written a research paper on the subject, reported observing a white, disk-shaped object at approximately 11:35 A.M. EST. The witness, located near the Miami-Dade Junior College campus, described the object as appearing to be four or five miles away. According to the report, the object emerged from the west, moved eastward, hovered for approximately 30 seconds, and then tilted upward before disappearing into the clouds. The witness described the object as two saucers, one inverted upon the other. The correspondence includes letters from the Air Force Office of Information to the witness, providing information on Project Blue Book and requesting the completion of FTD Form 164 for official evaluation. The final Air Force assessment concluded that the object was an aircraft, noting that the reported hovering was likely an illusion caused by the object entering the clouds and that the observation was likely made at a greater distance than the witness estimated.
