UFO Sighting Report — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 1965

This document is a collection of reports, correspondence, and forms related to UAP sightings in July 1965, primarily centered around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and other international locations including Argentina and Australia. The primary report details a sighting on July 20, 1965, in Pittsburgh, where a civilian observed a large, round, bluish-white, star-like object for six minutes. The object exhibited a slow, steady, straight flight path and emitted a humming sound. The official conclusion from the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) identified this as a likely satellite observation, specifically suggesting it could have been Tyros 9, Centaur 2, or Saturn 5. The archive also contains extensive correspondence between the Air Force and Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an accredited advisor to Project Blue Book, regarding photographs of UFOs taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 1965. These documents highlight the Air Force's efforts to secure information and photographs from international sources to evaluate these sightings. Additionally, the archive includes reports of sightings in Australia, such as the case of Denis Crowe in Vaucluse, and various other reports from Massachusetts, all occurring within the same timeframe. The summary report for the Pittsburgh area notes that many reports were considered unreliable or possible hoaxes, and that the Air Force had not observed anything of concern to date, though they continued to collect information.
