DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE WASHING r ON 2033'> OFFICE OF THE SECAETARV This replies to your recent correspondence r egarding your unidentified observation on March 30, 1967. Detailed investigation revealed that you probably saw the chemical clouds mentioned in your completed questionnaire. A rocket fired from the Wallops Island, Virginia station of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, at approximately 7 p.m. EST, March 30, 1967, released tri-ethyl borane and barium into the atmos- phere. This caused the clouds to become various colors, but eventually they turned blue in elongated patterns along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. The clouds may extend across the sky for several hundred miles and can be visible for thirty minutes to one hour. We wish to thank you for reporting your observation to the Air Force .
