This document contains a Project Blue Book record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old in Stamford, Connecticut, on December 31, 1967. The witness described seeing a small white light, initially mistaken for a satellite, which moved at a high speed in a southerly direction before flashing red and white, turning southwest, and dropping straight down. The witness wrote to Major Hector Quintanella, the Director of Project Blue Book, requesting a reasonable explanation and specifically mentioning Dr. Hynek. The Air Force responded via a letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requesting the witness complete an AF Form 117. The official conclusion recorded on the project form is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION'.
I would like a very reasonable explanation, if Dr Hyneck can make one up. If he says it is something like swamp gas, etc, he can forget sending me that answer.
