Report of Unidentified Flying Objects - 28 September 1967

This document details a report of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sighting that occurred on September 28, 1967, between Crestview and Milton, Florida. The observer, who was traveling west on U.S. Highway 90, reported seeing six bright, constant red, spherical lights. According to the observer, the objects initially appeared as stationary marker lights in the sky before moving into a single-file formation. The observer claimed that the objects circled his vehicle and, when he attempted to outrun them at speeds reaching 130 mph in a high-stroked 396 S.S. Chevy, the objects maintained their position ahead of him. The observer eventually stopped his vehicle, at which point he reported that the objects buzzed his car and he heard a low-pitched humming sound. The incident concluded when the observer reached a sparsely populated area. The report was not filed until more than six months after the event, and the observer did not provide the identity of his companion. The official evaluation by the Directorate of Foreign Technology concluded that there was insufficient data to evaluate the sighting due to the significant delay in reporting. The file includes correspondence between the Naval Air Station in Pensacola and the Air Proving Ground Center at Eglin Air Force Base, as well as a record of the case file being provided to Dr. J. Allen Hynek in May 1968.
