UFO Sighting Report — Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, July 4, 1965

This document contains a collection of correspondence and a formal sighting report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) observed on July 4, 1965, in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The primary witness was an 11 1/2-year-old girl who reported seeing a single, oval-shaped object that appeared as a light, similar in brightness to a light bulb with edges like a bright star. The object was observed for approximately five minutes, moving in a straight path from East to West at an elevation of about 60 degrees. The witness noted that the object was white, made no sound, and featured a flashing light on its back before disappearing behind buildings. The report includes a formal evaluation by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force Systems Command, which concluded that the object was likely an aircraft, noting that there was no data to indicate otherwise and that the duration, description, and flashing light were consistent with aircraft behavior. The file also contains correspondence between the Air Force and the witness, as well as a separate, unrelated inquiry from a different individual in Revere, Massachusetts, regarding a sighting of a 'flying saucer' that had been reported in the Boston Herald in connection with Antarctic observations. The Air Force clarified that it has no authority to investigate reports from other countries and that such incidents are not included in Project Blue Book files. The documentation includes completed FTD Form 164 questionnaires, sketches of the object's motion, and internal memoranda regarding the handling of these inquiries.
