AI-Generated Summary
A 13-year-old witness reported a 15-25 minute sighting of three objects in Collingdale, PA, on 10 November 1967. The Air Force classified the case as 'INSUFFICIENT DATA' due to conflicting witness accounts.
This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an incident on 10 November 1967 in Collingdale, Pennsylvania. A 13-year-old student reported observing three objects in the sky at approximately 6:30 PM. The witness described the primary object as looking like a star, accompanied by two smaller red lights that moved in a 'crazy' manner, crisscrossing each other and leaving vapor trails. The witness, who identified as a firm believer in UFOs and an avid reader of literature on the subject, provided sketches and completed an AF Form 117 questionnaire. The witness noted that the objects were self-luminous, displaying blue, orange, and red colors. The sighting lasted between 15 and 25 minutes before the objects disappeared behind trees. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, corresponded with the witness, requesting further details as the initial report was deemed insufficient for scientific investigation. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA,' noting that the witness's account of the duration and course of the objects was conflicting.
The observer sighted 3 objects. The largest one 'looked just like a star.' The other 2 objects were two little red lights that flew near the star-like object. The red object left vapor trails.
