UFO Observation, 27 Feb 67 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This document contains a UFO sighting report from February 27, 1967, involving two witnesses at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing in Philadelphia. The witnesses observed a blue-white object with a rotating red light in the eastern sky for approximately one hour. The object's behavior was described as complex: it appeared to fuse from two lights into a single ball of light, stood still, moved vertically, and disappeared and reappeared. The witnesses provided conflicting reports regarding the object's trajectory, stating it moved both from the southwest to the northeast and vice versa. One witness also noted the presence of 'tripod legs' on the object. The report includes a formal letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD), dated March 2, 1967, informing the witness that the initial information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164. The witness completed the questionnaire, noting her interest in astronomy and her ability to distinguish between aircraft, stars, and anomalous objects. The Air Force concluded that the data was insufficient for a formal evaluation.
