UFO Sighting Report — San Antonio, Texas, 5 August 1965

This document is a collection of reports and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in San Antonio, Texas, on 5 August 1965. A 13-year-old civilian witness reported observing a very bright, silver, featureless object that appeared to be 'jittering' in the sky. The witness claimed the object was accompanied by a screeching sound and was observed in proximity to a T-38 aircraft. The witness attempted to photograph the object, but the resulting image showed only clouds and a speck of dirt on the negative, with no identifiable object.

Air Force investigators, including the 3510th Flying Training Wing and the Foreign Technology Division (FTD), conducted an analysis of the report and the photograph. The investigation concluded that the witness's account was unreliable. The T-38 sighting was dismissed as inaccurate, as no such aircraft would have been in that area at that altitude under the reported conditions. The 'screeching' sound was attributed to a nearby fire station alert or construction equipment using compressed air. The visual phenomenon was suggested to be a reflection from a swimming pool or window, or potentially a balloon. The final conclusion of the Air Force was that there was insufficient data for evaluation, and the object could not be confirmed as an anomalous aerial phenomenon.
