AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a saucer-shaped object hovering over Lake Michigan on July 5, 1965. The Air Force determined the initial report lacked sufficient data and requested the witness complete a formal FTD Form 164.
This document collection details a UFO sighting report from July 5, 1965, involving a civilian witness who observed an object while fishing on Lake Michigan, off the shore of St. Ignace. The witness described the object as saucer-shaped, hovering approximately 200 feet above the water, and emitting a bright, blinding light. The witness, writing from Toledo, Ohio, expressed hesitation in reporting the incident due to fear of disbelief but sought information regarding UFOs. The official Air Force response, issued by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, concluded that the initial report provided insufficient data for a formal evaluation. Consequently, the FTD requested that the witness complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more detailed information. Sara Hunt of the Community Relations Division, Office of Information, subsequently forwarded the required form to the witness with instructions for completion. The case remained open pending the return of the form.
