AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a UFO sighting in San Francisco in 1968. The Air Force requested further details via a formal questionnaire, but the witness failed to return it, resulting in an inconclusive assessment.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in San Francisco, California, on September 1, 1968. The civilian witness wrote to the U.S. Air Force Research & Development Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, inquiring about the Air Force's policy on analyzing reports of strange objects in the sky. In response, Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, replied on September 18, 1968. He explained that while the Air Force attempts to notify observers of their findings, the high volume of reports and limited staff make this difficult. He provided the witness with an AF Form 117 to complete and return to facilitate an identification of the stimulus. The project record indicates that as of November 6, 1968, the form had not been returned, leading to a final conclusion of 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION'.
