AI-Generated Summary
This document records a 1968 UFO sighting in Presque Isle, Maine, which was closed due to a lack of information. The observer failed to return the requested follow-up documentation to the Air Force.
On September 27, 1968, a civilian reported an unidentified flying object sighting in Presque Isle, Maine, to the United States Air Force. The report was received via telephone at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Due to the lack of specific details provided during the initial call, the Aerial Phenomena Office, under the direction of Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., determined that the information was insufficient for a scientific investigation. Consequently, the Air Force sent an AF Form 117 to the observer with a self-addressed envelope, requesting that they provide a formal account of the event. As of November 6, 1968, the form had not been returned to the Air Force, and the case remained closed with the conclusion of insufficient data.
The information which we have received is not sufficient for a scientific investigation.
