Correspondence Regarding UFO Sighting in Union City, Indiana, 3 November 1965

This document consists of correspondence from the Air Force's Project Blue Book, dated 4 November 1965, addressed to an individual in Union City, Indiana. The letter, signed by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., acknowledges a report of an unidentified aerial observation that occurred on 3 November 1965. The Air Force determined that the initial information provided was insufficient for a formal evaluation and requested that the witness complete an attached FID Form 164. The accompanying report details that a local policeman in Union City initiated the contact, reporting that a seventeen-year-old boy had observed three round lights while driving home from basketball practice at approximately 10:20 PM. The witness reportedly drove for about half a mile, stopped his vehicle, and exited to observe the lights, which were positioned approximately 300 feet above him. The report notes that the witness appeared very frightened and that there had been a number of similar reports from the surrounding area during the previous month.
