AI-Generated Summary
A civilian sighting of a blueish-white, ringed object over Bermuda in July 1965 was officially evaluated by the Air Force as a satellite. The report notes the object's zig-zag movement and the witness's description of its appearance.
This document is an Air Force incoming message dated July 20, 1965, regarding a UFO sighting report from Bermuda. The report details observations made by civilians on the nights of July 16 and 17, 1965. The witnesses described a single object that appeared as a blueish-white star with a ring around it, characterized as having a 'snowy or fuzzy' surface. The object was observed moving from Somerset towards St. Davids over the South Shore. On the first night, it appeared to move in a straight path, but on the second night, it exhibited a zig-zag course, moving slowly, then faster, then slower before fading out. The duration of the sightings was reported as 4-5 minutes on the first night and 3 minutes on the second. The reporting officer at Kindley AFB, while noting that the boys 'saw something,' concluded that the objects were satellites, citing a recent increase in satellite sightings in the area. The document includes meteorological data and confirms that no physical evidence or photographs were obtained.
IN MY ESTIMATION THE BOYS SAW SOMETHING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL VARIOUS SIGHTINGS OF SATELLITES IN THE PAST FEW DAYS.
