This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Seattle, Washington, on July 15, 1967. The primary witness, a 13-year-old individual, reported observing a white, dinner-plate-shaped object hovering in the northwest sky for approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds. The witness described the object as solid with sharply outlined edges, noting that it made no sound and appeared to stand still before disappearing and reappearing. The witness also indicated that a second person was present and observed the object. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, initially contacted the witness, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of formal FTD and AF forms. The official conclusion recorded on the project file is 'Balloon(possible)', though a handwritten annotation on the document suggests skepticism regarding this classification, noting 'A/c more likely - not - or a UFO!'. The file includes the witness's detailed questionnaire responses, hand-drawn sketches of the object, and official correspondence from the Air Force.
