UFO Observation Report and Correspondence — Bogertown, Pennsylvania, April 1965

This document collection contains correspondence and reports regarding UFO sightings in April 1965, primarily focusing on an incident in Bogertown, Pennsylvania. On April 30 and May 1, 1965, a witness reported seeing multiple objects flying in a 'V' formation at night. The objects were described as gray, oblong, and moving from NNW to NNE without making any sound. The witness noted that the sky was hazy in the west and northeast but clear overhead, and that the objects appeared to be surrounded by a hazy light. The Foreign Technology Division of the U.S. Air Force, under the direction of Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., investigated the report and concluded that the objects were likely migrating birds, such as plovers, reflecting light from ground sources. The collection also includes correspondence between James C. Cornell, Jr. of the Smithsonian Institution and Raymond E. Fowler of NICAP, discussing the forwarding of UFO reports. Additionally, the document contains brief reports on other sightings, including a 'fireball' over Howth, Ireland, and a 'wailing light' over Whidbey Island, Washington, as well as a list of sightings from May 1965.
