This document contains a record of a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old student in Folcroft, Pennsylvania, in August 1968. The witness initially contacted the John F. Kennedy Space Center (NASA) regarding the sighting, but was instructed to report the incident to the Air Force. The witness provided a narrative, sketches, and completed an 'AFR 80-17' questionnaire. The witness described observing two yellowish, basketball-sized objects that appeared solid and moved across the sky. The witness claimed to have had a photograph of the objects, but stated that NASA did not return it. The Air Force, represented by Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., responded on October 15, 1968, stating that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requested that the witness complete an AF Form 117. The project record notes a discrepancy in the dates provided by the witness, as the initial letter to NASA was dated August 28, 1968, while the sighting was reported to have occurred on August 31, 1968.
