COMMENTS Check ~th WP Operations revealed that a T-33 from Minneapolis w1 th Home Base at Maxwell landed at 2228 (0328Z) and -was over Xenia at the time in a normal land- ing pattern. No a/c was noted by the wit ness. Since the ~tness did not observe any other object it is ass~ that this a/c is the cause of the report 32. In the following sketch, imagine that you ore at the point shown. Place an A on the curved I in to show hQW high the obiect was above the horizon (sky I ine) when you lirst saw it. Place a e on the same curved line t o show how high the object was above the horizon (skyline) when you lost saw it. 33. In the followinG larger aketch place an A" at the position the object was when you lirst saw it, an~ tr a at its position when you lott saw it.

Date ~y.completecl thla. questlonnalr~: UFO Sighting phoned in at 1300 on 12 June 1963 Time/Date of sighting: 2210 local 9 June 1963 Xenia (Lanewood Housing Development) Observer was lying on a chaise lounge in the backyard o his home (his feet toward the West) and looking straight up when he noticed a series of blue flashes spaced about every three seconds. Assuming that right overhead was the center of a clock, the blue flashes moved progressively to tbe right toward the position of three o'clock. The flashing crossed the heavens from the center point (straight over- head) to the right extremity of the horizon ( that 1 to the North) in 45 to 60 seconds. About 15 to 20 flashes. Observer believes bright blue color rules out meteor and a/c. Flash was similar to that of flashbulb. Flashing seemed to be high in sky and moved at a speed that was "phenomenal." No sound of a/c. WX: Stars could be seen, scattered clouds. ft /TJ-K-/rJ l!JP~tc:n.J S U.S. AIR FORCE TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET Thia questionnaire has been prepared so that you can give tlie .U.S. Air Farce as much information as possible concerning the unidentified .aerial phenomenon that youhave observed.
