AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported a 7-8 minute sighting of a large, drab green, saucer-shaped object near Sherman, Texas, in the summer of 1965. The Air Force classified the case as having insufficient data for evaluation due to the lack of a specific date and time.

This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a civilian sighting of an unidentified aerial object in Sherman, Texas, during the summer of 1965. The witness, a Reverend, wrote to Air Force Secretary Harold Brown describing an encounter while driving between Melissa and the Sherman Air Field. The witness observed a 'saucer type plane' that was drab green in color, estimated to be 125 to 140 feet across and 12 to 18 feet thick at its thickest point. The object reportedly made a U-turn and leveled off before heading North. The witness noted that the object had no visible lights, exhaust, or windows and appeared to maneuver with little trouble, capable of turning in a much smaller space than a conventional jet. A passenger in the car also observed the object for approximately 7 to 8 minutes. The official Air Force evaluation concluded that the report provided insufficient data for a formal assessment, specifically citing the omission of a precise date and time as the primary obstacle to further investigation.

It seemed to be shaped like an umbulla and looked like it was about 12 to 18 ft. at the thickest point. I saw no lights, exhaust or windows
