This document details a UFO sighting reported in Austin, Pennsylvania, on March 3, 1968. The witness, who was cutting trees at the time, observed a silvery, kite-shaped object at approximately 1000 feet altitude. The object, which made a sound described as 'like tin wobbling,' appeared to be moving east and was perceived by the witness to be pushed by the wind. The witness initially did not report the event to authorities for fear of being labeled 'crazy,' but his information was eventually passed to the Air Force via the State Highway Patrol. Lt. Marano interviewed the witness on April 3, 1968. The Air Force subsequently sent an AF Form 117 to the witness for completion. Because the witness failed to return the form within the required 30-day window, the Aerial Phenomena Office (Project Blue Book) concluded the case as having insufficient data for evaluation.
