UFO Sighting Report — Ventnor, New Jersey, 13 May 1967

This document file details a UFO sighting reported by an amateur astronomer, Robin A. White, occurring on May 13, 1967, in Ventnor, New Jersey. The witness, who was photographing the moon at the time, observed a yellow-white, flattened oval object at approximately 10,000 feet. The object reportedly moved like a 'falling leaf' but occasionally performed high-speed dashes, which the witness estimated to be twice the speed of an F/100 jet fighter. The witness provided detailed descriptions, including the presence of lights on the nose and center of the craft, as well as parallel lines of light along its sides. White also submitted photographs and detailed star charts to the Project Blue Book office to assist in the investigation. The Air Force conducted a formal review of the photographic evidence, involving the Photo Analysis Branch and the Photo Exploitation Division. Multiple reports (67-72 and 68-44) concluded that the lack of image definition in the provided prints and negatives precluded a positive identification of the object. As part of the investigation, the Aerial Phenomena Office contacted local police departments and aerial advertising companies, such as Ronson Helicopters, Inc., to determine if any aerial signs were operating in the area at the time. All contacted parties denied operating in the vicinity or having any knowledge of the event. Despite the witness's efforts to provide technical data and follow-up inquiries, the official Air Force position remained that the data was insufficient for evaluation.
