AI-Generated Summary
A 12-year-old in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, reported a gray, disc-shaped object on September 20, 1968. The U.S. Air Force classified the report as unreliable due to the witness's age and environmental conditions.
This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported by a 12-year-old civilian in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, on September 20, 1968. The witness reported observing a gray, disc-shaped object for approximately one minute at 0355L. The object reportedly exhibited a back-and-forth movement. The witness indicated the object disappeared behind a cloud. In the accompanying questionnaire, the witness described the object as 'some kind of bird maybe or grey flat dish.' The official conclusion of the U.S. Air Force investigation was that the report was 'unreliable.' This determination was based on the witness's young age, the lack of corroborating witnesses, and the assessment that it would be highly doubtful for a dark object to be visible against a dark background under the reported weather conditions of thick or heavy clouds.
The observer is only 12 yrs old. Since it is very doubtfull that a dark object would be seen against a dark background, and there were no other witnesses, also due to the extreme young age of the observer, the sighting is being carried as Unreliable Report.
