AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a UAP sighting in Minnesota in 1968. The Air Force declined to investigate due to the report being submitted after the 30-day policy limit.
This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed by a civilian in Walker, Minnesota, on February 6, 1968. The witness, a stenographer, reported observing a yellowish, star-like object that appeared stationary before moving rapidly across the sky. The witness provided a detailed account of the event, noting that the object appeared translucent and bright, and that it vanished instantaneously. The report includes a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, a cover letter from Congressman Odin Langen, and internal Air Force correspondence. The Air Force ultimately concluded that the report contained insufficient data for evaluation because it was not submitted within the required 30-day window. A handwritten note on the final page of the document suggests a possible identification of the object as the planet Jupiter.
I saw it change directions (if in fact it was the same object as the other) and zip across the sky in the twinkling of an eye to about a 60° angle to the north and quickly vanish.
