AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian in Rawlins, Wyoming, reported a bright white, ball-shaped object on 17 April 1967. The Air Force investigator concluded the object was a meteor, noting the witness's claim of radio interference during the event.

This document is a formal UFO report generated by the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at F. E. Warren Air Force Base regarding a sighting in Rawlins, Wyoming, on 17 April 1967. The witness, a 55-year-old civilian employee of the City of Rawlins identified as Mr. T.B. (also referred to as Mr. Guffy in the investigator's notes), observed a bright white, ball-shaped object resembling a golf ball. The object traveled in a straight line from west to east, descending, and was visible for only one or two seconds. The witness reported that the sighting coincided with an electromagnetic disturbance that caused his CB radio to stop functioning. The investigating officer, Casimer Krauser, conducted follow-up inquiries with the Cheyenne Airport FAA Tower and the Denver Center, but found no corroborating data. Based on the description of the object's speed and appearance, the investigator concluded that the sighting was a meteor. The report was prepared in accordance with AFR 80-17 and copies were forwarded to the University of Colorado for the attention of Dr. Condon.

He stated that, at the time of the sighting, his radio was, 'knocked clean off' and that the interference (possibly caused by the UFO) 'killed my CB'.
