This document details a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old student in West Hampton Beach, New York, on March 28, 1966. The witness reported observing four or five round, white-light objects in an oblong formation moving in a northwesterly direction. The observation lasted approximately one and a half minutes, during which the objects appeared from over the horizon and subsequently disappeared straight down over the horizon. The Air Force initiated an investigation under Project Blue Book, requesting that the witness complete an FTD Form 164. However, the form was not returned within 30 days. Consequently, the official conclusion for the incident was recorded as 'Insufficient Data.' An intelligence officer from the 52nd Fighter Wing noted that recent newspaper reports regarding UFOs might have influenced the witness's report. The file includes correspondence from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, requesting the necessary documentation for a formal evaluation.
