AI-Generated Summary
This document details a 1968 UFO sighting in San Angelo, Texas, involving a bright white light. The Air Force classified the case as 'insufficient data' after the witnesses failed to return a follow-up questionnaire.
On August 5, 1968, at approximately 0230Z, a civilian couple residing in Lakeview, San Angelo, Texas, reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon to the Air Force. The witnesses described observing a single, round, bright white light moving in an eastward direction. The sighting occurred under clear weather conditions. The report was processed by the 694th Security Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base, with 2nd Lt. A.D. Bligh serving as the reporting officer. The information was forwarded to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for evaluation. Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, determined that the initial report lacked sufficient detail for a formal scientific investigation. Consequently, the Air Force sent correspondence to the witnesses on August 13, 1968, requesting that they complete an AF Form 117 to provide more comprehensive data. The project record indicates that the witnesses failed to return the requested form within the 30-day window, leading to a final conclusion of 'insufficient data' for the case.
The observer was requested to complete a AF Form 117 but has not returned it within 30 days.
