AI-Generated Summary
A former NASA employee reported an illuminated, cloud-like object in San Diego in January 1967. The Air Force determined the report lacked sufficient detail for a scientific evaluation.
This document contains a series of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a former NASA employee residing in San Diego, California. The witness, a retired foreman from the missile division at NASA's Moffett Field, reported observing an object on January 25, 1967, at approximately 10:30 P.M. He described the object as an illuminated cloud, roughly the size of a small house, which moved slowly across the sky at an estimated altitude of 40 feet and a speed of 25 miles per hour. The witness noted that the object made no noise and had a dull glow with uneven edges. He observed the object for approximately 30 minutes before it disappeared toward the Pacific Ocean. The witness also reported a second, similar sighting on the morning of February 9, 1967. The report was initially sent to the Space Defense Center in Colorado Springs and subsequently forwarded by the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) to Project Bluebook at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force reviewed the report and concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Consequently, the FTD sent a letter to the witness on March 15, 1967, requesting that he complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more detailed information. The file includes the original correspondence, the project record summary, and the blank questionnaire form.
