AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A civilian reported three boomerang-shaped objects moving in a zig-zag pattern near Myrtle Beach, SC, on 4 November 1967. The Air Force investigation concluded there was insufficient data to identify the objects.

This document details a UFO sighting reported on 4 November 1967 near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A civilian observer reported seeing three boomerang-shaped objects moving in a zig-zag motion from north to south at approximately 8:00 PM local time. The observer was located at the Jade Tree Motor Inn, approximately six miles northeast of the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. The report was processed by the Aerial Phenomena Office under Project 10073. 1st Lt. Ralph E. McGeehan of the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing investigated the report, noting that the observer had been using a telescope to view the moon shortly before the sighting. Despite efforts to contact the observer via mail and telephone, the Air Force was unable to secure further information, leading to a conclusion of insufficient data. The official record indicates that the observer did not believe the objects were aircraft, but the lack of follow-up and the absence of physical evidence or corroborating data prevented a more detailed scientific analysis.

The observer definitely did not think objects could be aircraft.
