AI-Generated Summary
A 1967 UFO sighting report from Philadelphia was classified as having insufficient data after the witness failed to return a follow-up questionnaire. The witness described a small, fast-moving object seen during a rainstorm.
On August 20, 1967, an individual residing at 6800 Oakland Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, reported observing a flying object at approximately 11:30 AM during a rainstorm. The witness, who identified themselves as a co-director of an observatory, claimed the object traveled in an easterly direction at an altitude of approximately 250 feet. The witness described the object as having 'zipped' by them and noted that it was significantly smaller than an airplane. Despite observing the object for four minutes, the witness was unable to describe its shape or color. The witness emphasized the veracity of their report, noting their educational background and status as a 'good observer of objects in the sky.' The Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD) reviewed the report and determined that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Consequently, the FTD sent FTD Form 164 to the observer to solicit more detailed information. As of the date of the record, the form had not been returned, leading the Air Force to classify the case as having insufficient data for evaluation.
This object zipped right by me and unfortunately I did not see the shape nor the color.
