UFO Observation Report — Rochester, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1967

This document contains a series of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by an electrician employed by the Pennsylvania and Lake Erie Railroad. On April 13, 1967, at approximately 12:15 A.M., the witness observed an object hovering over Rochester, Pennsylvania. The witness described the object as a triangular craft, approximately 15 to 20 feet across, with a dull gray surface and three lights (two red, one white). The object was estimated to be 800 to 1000 feet overhead. The witness reported that the craft moved silently and with precision, eventually turning on its edge and ascending rapidly into the darkness. The witness also noted that a crane operator in the vicinity saw the object but dismissed it as a satellite. The witness provided a detailed questionnaire and a follow-up letter to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, including sketches of the object's appearance and flight path. In his correspondence, the witness speculated that the craft was controlled by 'electro-motive force' and equipped with a device to minimize atmospheric density. The Air Force responded on April 14, 1967, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested the completion of a formal FTD Form 164.
