This document collection details a UFO sighting reported by a physician in Dallas, Texas, on December 2, 1967. The witness, while waiting to use his grill, observed four blurred objects in the sky that appeared to change shape. He noted that clouds began to form around these objects, which were moving slowly from the north at an estimated altitude of 4,000 to 5,000 feet. The witness attempted to photograph the objects, but by the time he adjusted his camera, the objects and the associated cloud formations had dissipated. The witness also mentioned a separate observation on November 25, 1967, where he believed he saw a 'platform' positioned over the Southcentral United States. The Air Force's Aerial Phenomena Office, under Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., investigated the report. They contacted the Love Field Airport Traffic Control Tower to determine if there was any unusual activity or other reports of the sighting. The Chief of the Love Tower, Jack J. Jobe, responded that there were 855 aircraft operations that day, but no one in the tower observed anything unusual, nor were any other reports received. The Air Force subsequently classified the incident as 'Probable Other (CLOUDS),' suggesting that the objects were meteorological in nature despite the witness's assertion that the sky was otherwise clear. The file includes wind data from Project 5992D (STAR TREK) to support the analysis of the atmospheric conditions at the time of the sighting.
