AI-Generated Summary
An 11-year-old boy reported a triangular UFO sighting in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in May 1969. The Air Force investigation concluded the data was conflicting due to inconsistent dates and times provided by the witness.
This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by 11-year-old Michael Tedesco regarding an event in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The report includes a completed questionnaire, hand-drawn diagrams of the sighting location at Feinberg's Parking Lot, and a personal letter addressed to the Air Force. The witness describes observing a triangular, luminous object with a red capsule and a tail of light on the evening of May 4, 1969. He notes that the object appeared to have three red lights and that his dogs, which had been barking, suddenly stopped when he pointed the object out to his sister. The witness initially reported the event as occurring on May 4 at 10:00 PM, but later revised the details to May 6 at 8:37 PM, leading the Air Force to categorize the conclusion as 'Other (Conflicting Data).' The file also includes a formal response from Major James H. Aikman of the Department of the Air Force, dated May 19, 1969, acknowledging the report and providing instructions for future sightings, including the recommendation to report to the nearest Air Force base and to consult Project Blue Book materials for identification of common objects.
As soon as I pointed to it, the dogs stopped barking. Then the lights went out in sequence. Soon it disappeared from sight.
