AI-Generated Summary
A 6-year-old child reported a hovering white light in Norwood, Massachusetts, in March 1966. The Air Force officially classified the report as unreliable due to the witness's age.
This document contains a Project Blue Book record regarding a sighting in Norwood, Massachusetts, on either March 16 or 17, 1966. The primary witness was a six-year-old child who reported seeing a bright white light hovering at tree-top level, approximately 30 to 50 yards away. The object was described as being three to four feet in diameter and emitting a 'whir-whir-whir' sound before departing at a 'terrific rate of speed.' The child was accompanied by an eight-year-old girl. The Air Force investigation, led by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., concluded that the report was unreliable, citing the young age of the witness and the high amount of imagination typical of a child that age. The file includes correspondence from the Air Force to the witness's parent, requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164, as well as the completed questionnaire itself, which provides details on the weather conditions (clear and dry) and the witness's observations.
This report will be carried as unrelieable due to the high amount of imagination of an observer of this age.
