AI-Generated Summary
A witness reported a potential UFO sighting in Colonia, New Jersey, on 26 March 1968. The Air Force sent a follow-up form to the witness, but it was never returned, resulting in a final classification of 'Insufficient Data'.
This document consists of a sighting report file from Project Blue Book regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported in Colonia, New Jersey, on 26 March 1968. The file includes a letter from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, dated 24 April 1968, addressed to an unnamed witness. In the letter, Major Quintanilla acknowledges that the witness's name was provided to the Aerial Phenomena Office and requests that they complete an attached AF Form 117 to provide a formal statement regarding the sighting. The witness had previously initiated contact via a letter dated Friday, 29 March 1968, in which they stated they saw what they believed to be a U.F.O. at 7:45 P.M. on 26 March 1968 and expressed a desire to talk to someone about the experience. The final assessment of the case by the Air Force was 'INSUFFICIENT DATA,' noting that while the form was sent to the observer in April, it had not been returned by 18 June 1968, leaving the investigation without sufficient information to reach a conclusion.
On Tuesday, Mar. 26, at 7:45 P.M., I saw what I sincerely believe was one of those U.F.O.'s.
