UFO Observation Report — Riverside, California, April 8, 1967

This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by two young witnesses, aged 10 and 11, regarding an event that occurred on April 8, 1967, in Riverside, California. The witnesses, identified as R.S. and T.T., reported observing two silver, disk-shaped objects while in front of their private school. According to their accounts, the objects appeared to hover, moved faster than a jet, and eventually disappeared into the clouds. The witnesses noted that the objects made no sound and had no visible wings or vapor trails. The documentation includes a cover letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, dated April 26, 1967. In this letter, the Air Force informed the witnesses that the initial information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that they complete a formal FTD Form 164 questionnaire. The file contains the completed questionnaire, which provides detailed responses regarding the observation, including sketches of the objects' behavior and their appearance relative to a match head held at arm's length. The witnesses described the objects as 'shining like a piece of tin.' The Air Force ultimately concluded that the provided data remained insufficient for a formal scientific evaluation.
