UFO Sightings, 14 October 1966 — Laredo, Texas

This document contains a collection of correspondence and UFO sighting reports from October 14, 1966, originating from the 3640th Pilot Training Wing at Laredo Air Force Base, Texas. The file includes two distinct sighting reports. The first, occurring at 0415Z, involved two egg-shaped to round objects that were observed for one hour, described as blue to orange in color, motionless, and changing in appearance. The second report, occurring at 0135Z, involved a single star-shaped object observed for 30 minutes, described as blue to white and blinking, with a reported speed of 17,000 to 20,000 mph. The reports were submitted to the Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) Foreign Technology Division (FTD). However, the documentation was found to be inadequate by Colonel Louis De Goes, who returned the reports for further investigation. He criticized the local command for failing to provide essential data, such as the manner of appearance and disappearance of the objects, and for providing 'None' as a preliminary analysis, which he deemed unacceptable. The document highlights the administrative process of the Air Force's UFO investigation program, specifically the requirement for rigorous reporting under AFR 80-17 and AFR 200-2.
