AI-Generated Summary
Two ranch employees in Montana reported an egg-shaped, white object moving up and down over two days in April 1964. The Air Force determined there was insufficient data to evaluate the sighting.
This document details a report of an unidentified flying object observed by two ranch employees in Custer County, Montana, between April 19 and April 25, 1964. The witnesses, who were on the road to Terry, Montana, reported seeing an egg-shaped, white object on two consecutive days. The object's motion was described as 'riding up and down.' The observers reported the incident to their employer after hearing a radio broadcast about a similar sighting in Helena, Montana. The employer subsequently contacted Custer County Sheriff Newt Perkins, who relayed the information to FBI Special Agent Al Murphy in Miles City. The report was eventually forwarded to the OSI at Glasgow Air Force Base. The Air Force concluded that there was insufficient data for a proper analysis. A request for additional information was sent to the witnesses, but the file notes that the request was returned after a 90-day delay. The document includes a Project 10073 record card, a formal request for additional information from the 91st Combat Support Group, and a detailed report of the sighting.
