This document consists of a correspondence from the Department of the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, dated January 19, 1969, addressed to a resident of Dayton, Ohio. The letter references a UFO sighting reported by the individual on October 19, 1968. The Air Force informed the witness that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific investigation and requested that they complete an attached AF Form 117 to provide further details.

The witness noted that they simply happened to notice the object and that it did not disappear. The official conclusion recorded on the project record form is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA,' noting that the observer had not returned the requested form as of the date of the record.
