UFO Sighting Report — Selfridge AFB, Michigan, October 1966

This document consists of a series of letters and a formal UFO reporting form submitted by a civilian witness to the 1st Fighter Wing at Selfridge Air Force Base in October 1966. The witness, a 49-year-old woman, reported observing numerous objects in the sky that appeared as stars but exhibited flashing red, green, and white lights. She described the objects as moving in various ways, including standing still, moving up and down, and shooting across tree tops. The witness also reported unusual observations regarding the moon, describing it as jagged and bright enough to light up her bedroom. The Air Force, specifically Captain Mina P. Costin, forwarded these reports to the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, noting that the correspondence had not been forwarded previously because the witness was not considered reliable. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the sightings were likely 'Possible ASTRO (S/P)', referring to astronomical phenomena. The witness expressed frustration that the police did not respond to her calls and indicated she felt compelled to report these events despite the skepticism of others.
