Project Blue Book Sighting Reports and Correspondence — December 1967

This document collection contains various records, correspondence, and sighting reports associated with Project Blue Book from December 1967. A primary case involves a civilian report from Honaker, Virginia, dated December 31, 1967. The observer described a round, disc-like object that emitted an 'aluminous light' and produced a 'talking whirring' sound. The witness claimed the object emitted an energy that caused physical sensations of heat and cold, and described the object as having a 'super human brain, like a computer.' Due to the significant delay in reporting—the form was not submitted until May 1968—the official Air Force conclusion was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' The collection also includes a military message from the USCGC SPENCER regarding a visual sighting of an object that appeared to be disintegrating like a flare, and correspondence between Major Héctor Quintanilla, Jr., and a civilian who admitted to faking a UFO photograph using black paper and thread. The file further contains various blank and partially completed 'Sighting of Unidentified Phenomena' questionnaires, indicating the administrative process used by the Air Force to collect and evaluate public reports during this period.
