AI-Generated Summary
A student reported an aerial explosion in San Bernardino, California, in 1968. The Air Force requested further details via an AF Form 117, but the form was never returned, resulting in an 'insufficient data' classification.
This document collection contains a Project 10073 record and associated correspondence regarding a sighting reported by a resident of San Bernardino, California. The witness, who identified herself as a student with a father stationed at Norton Air Force Base, wrote to President Lyndon B. Johnson regarding a school project and included a postscript about an aerial sighting. She described seeing a comet or similar object in the sky on the night of April 23, 1968, which suddenly exploded. The White House forwarded the inquiry to the Air Force. The Air Force responded via a draft letter from SAF-OICC (Miss Turnure), dated May 3, 1968, informing the witness that the information provided was insufficient for an investigation. They requested that she complete an attached AF Form 117 and return it in an enclosed envelope to technical personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official project record indicates that the form was never returned by the observer, leading to a final conclusion of 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation' as of August 19, 1968.
The observer stated that she "saw a comet or something in the sky." While she was watching it, "all of a sudden it exploded."
