U.S. Air Force Technical Information Questionnaire — Storm Lake, Iowa, May 1965

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report and related correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Storm Lake, Iowa, on May 13, 1965. The primary witness, a 13-year-old student, reported observing a white, saucer-shaped object with a red light while hunting night crawlers with his brother and a friend. The witness described the object as spinning, emitting a high-pitched whistling buzz, and traveling at an estimated speed of 800 mph at an altitude of one mile. The object eventually disappeared behind clouds. The witness explicitly stated his belief that the object was an extra-terrestrial vehicle, noting that it moved too fast to be a satellite or a conventional aircraft. The report includes a formal questionnaire completed by the witness on May 21, 1965, and a letter from the Department of the Air Force dated April 19, 1965, addressed to the witness, providing information on Project Blue Book. The official conclusion recorded on the report form suggests a possible aircraft observation, noting that the details provided were inconsistent with weather conditions.
