UFO Observation Reports — Othello, Washington, March 1967

This document contains a collection of reports and correspondence regarding two separate UFO sightings in Othello, Washington, in late March 1967. The first incident occurred on March 27, 1967, and the second on March 30, 1967. In both instances, witnesses, including personnel from the 637th Radar Squadron, reported observing a bright, star-like object that changed colors—specifically white, red, green, and orange. The object was described as cigar-shaped or star-shaped and approximately the size of a baseball. While one witness, Greg Miller, reported hearing a 'whirring' sound, other witnesses reported no sound at all. The object was observed at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet and was described as having no exhaust or vapor trails. The Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD) investigated these reports, sending questionnaires to the witnesses. The official conclusion reached by the FTD was that the descriptions were consistent with aircraft observations. The documents include internal Air Force staff messages, completed technical information questionnaires, and correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt requesting further information from the witnesses to aid in scientific evaluation.
