UFO Observation Report — San Angelo, Texas, 21 November 1967

This document contains a series of reports and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in San Angelo, Texas, on November 21, 1967. The primary witness, a 17-year-old student, reported observing a bright, white point of light that appeared stationary before moving south to northwest and changing color to red. The witness, who was outdoors in a residential area, noted that the object was brighter than any star and made no sound. The witness's 14-year-old brother also observed the object. The witness initially reported the event to the Air Force, which deemed the information insufficient and requested a formal report using AF Form 117. The subsequent investigation by the 6940th Security Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base determined that between 1845L and 2030L on the night of the sighting, 16 to 20 T-38 aircraft from Reese and Webb Air Force Bases were conducting flight operations in the San Angelo area at altitudes ranging from 3,500 to 22,500 feet. The official conclusion reached by the investigating officer, Captain F. M. Iey, was that it was probable the witnesses had observed one of these T-38 aircraft. The documentation includes the original correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division, the completed AF Form 117 questionnaire, and the internal Air Force message traffic summarizing the incident and the final assessment.
