UFO Report — Frankfurt, Germany, 29 June 1965

This document contains a UFO sighting report from 29 June 1965, involving a Federal Aviation Agency Flight Inspection Pilot near Frankfurt, Germany. The pilot observed a round, white object while descending for a landing. The object appeared within a cloud and haze layer at approximately 5,000 feet, intercepting the pilot's aircraft before turning and disappearing by fading. The pilot noted that the object was significantly larger than a four-engine transport aircraft, though no specific features were discernible. The sighting lasted between two and three minutes. The report includes a memorandum from Major Louis J. Harrell of Detachment 3, Foreign Technology Division, dated 26 July 1965. Major Harrell notes that the report was provided to the Rhein-Main Base Operations Officer on 19 July 1965. A follow-up telephone interview with the pilot yielded little additional information. The aircraft was under radar control at the time, but the radar did not detect the object. The official conclusion reached by the Foreign Technology Division is that the sighting was a reflection of an aircraft on the haze layer. The report suggests that the reflection may have been caused by the observer's own aircraft or another aircraft in the vicinity.
