UFO Observation Reports — Clyde, New York, July and August 1967

This document contains a collection of correspondence and reports regarding UFO sightings in Clyde, New York, during July and August 1967. The primary witness, a local patrolman, reported seeing bright red and blue lights on July 13 and August 28, 1967. The witness described the objects as appearing in a string, breaking into smaller parts, and moving at approximately 30-35 mph at an altitude of 1000-1500 feet. The witness compared the lights to those found on a police car. The Air Force's Aerial Phenomena Office (Project Blue Book) attempted to investigate these reports, specifically inquiring with the 509th Bomb Wing and the 160th Air Refueling Group to determine if any refueling flights (specifically on AR #206 or AR #320) could account for the sightings. The 160th Air Refueling Group confirmed they had no refueling flights scheduled at that time. The official conclusion recorded on the project record was that the report was 'confusing' and difficult to investigate due to the delay in reporting. The file includes the original questionnaire completed by the witness, correspondence from the Foreign Technology Division, and internal inquiries regarding military flight activity.
