AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported a UFO sighting in Boardman, Ohio, on March 22, 1967, and provided photographs. The Air Force closed the case as 'insufficient data' because the witness failed to provide the original negatives for analysis.

This document constitutes a record under Project 10073 regarding a UFO sighting reported in Youngstown, Ohio, on March 22, 1967. A civilian observer reported taking three photographs of an unidentified object at 10:20 A.M. on North Cadillac in Boardman, Ohio. The Air Force, through the Office of Information, attempted to evaluate the claim and requested the original negatives and specific camera data, including the make of the camera, lens specifications, film type, and settings. Despite these requests, the original negatives were never forwarded to the Air Force. Consequently, the official conclusion for both the case and the photographic evidence was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' The file includes several photographic prints showing a dark, disc-like object against a sky background, though the official assessment remains that there is no sufficient information to determine the nature of the sighting.

There is no information on the sighting. Observer stated that he took 3 pictures of the object. The original negatives were requested but were never forwarded.
