UFO Observation Report — Shaker Heights, Ohio, 3 July 1967

This document contains a record of a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Shaker Heights, Ohio, on July 3, 1967. The witness, who was sleeping outdoors with their cousin and brother, reported initially seeing one object that they mistook for a satellite, which subsequently turned and flew away. Later that night, at approximately 11:00 P.M., the witnesses observed between 15 and 25 objects that were white and yellow in color and appeared to be hovering. The witness contacted the local Weather Bureau, who reportedly stated they could not identify the objects if they lacked landing gear. The Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD) reviewed the report and determined that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Colonel James C. Manatt, Director of Technology and Subsystems, sent a letter to the witness on August 1, 1967, requesting that they complete and return an attached FTD Form 164 to facilitate further investigation. The project record indicates that as of the time of the filing, the form had not been returned, and the case remained open pending further data.
