UFO Observation Report — Garwood, New Jersey, October 30, 1967

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an incident on October 30, 1967, in Garwood, New Jersey. The primary witness, a student at Lincoln School, reported observing three objects at approximately 8:00 PM. The objects were described as having a 'flattened out hamburger cigar' shape with a bright green and red glow. The witness estimated the speed of the objects at nearly 1000 mph and their altitude at 6 miles. The report includes a standard Sighting of Unidentified Phenomena Questionnaire, which contains conflicting data points. While the primary report lists the duration as 30 seconds, comments within the file note that witnesses provided conflicting estimates of 9 to 10 minutes. Furthermore, while the primary witness reported three objects, other accounts mentioned in the comments suggested there was only one object. The witness also noted that their cats were making noise during the event. The Air Force investigation, conducted by the Foreign Technology Division, ultimately concluded that the phenomenon was a 'Possible: AIRCRAFT,' noting that the conflicting nature of the reports and the suggestion by one witness that it was an aircraft led to this classification. The file includes correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Air Force, requesting the witness to complete the formal questionnaire to assist in the evaluation of the observation.
