Correspondence Regarding UFO Sighting - Little Silver, New Jersey, August 1964
AI-Generated Summary
An electronics engineer reported a twin-object UFO sighting in New Jersey in 1964. The Air Force deemed the data insufficient for evaluation and requested further technical details via a formal questionnaire.
This document consists of correspondence between the U.S. Air Force and an observer in Little Silver, New Jersey, regarding a UFO sighting on August 10, 1964. The observer, an electronics engineer employed by the U.S. Army, reported seeing an unusual object between 2300 and 2315 hours. The object appeared to be a 'twin device' that was tumbling and interchanging positions, with an apparent magnitude similar to Venus. The observer noted that the object was at an elevation of approximately 60 degrees above the West Southwest horizon. The observer explicitly stated they were 99.9% sure the object was not a manned aircraft. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division, responded that they were unable to offer an explanation due to insufficient data. They requested that the observer complete an FTD Form 164 to provide more detailed information, such as angular velocities and flight characteristics, to facilitate a scientific investigation. The correspondence includes a letter from the observer to the Unidentified Foreign Object Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and subsequent replies from the Air Force Office of Information.
