Correspondence Regarding UFO Sighting at Crystal Beach, Texas, August 1967

This document consists of correspondence between an unidentified witness and the United States Air Force regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on August 12, 1967, at a beach house in Crystal Beach, Texas. The witness, writing to the Project Blue Book Information Office, describes observing four distinct objects between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM. The witness reports that the objects appeared as large, orange, pulsating balls that were initially motionless and silent. One object reportedly changed color from bright orange to a 'crystal like blue' and appeared to emit sparks, described by the witness as resembling firecrackers being thrown from within. The objects eventually departed at 'lightening speed.' The Air Force response, signed by Lt. Colonel Barnett B. Young on August 24, 1967, states that the military is unable to provide an explanation for the event due to insufficient data. The letter emphasizes that a scientific investigation requires specific details such as flight characteristics, weather conditions, and angular velocities, which were absent from the initial report. The Air Force advised the witness that future sightings should be reported immediately to the nearest military installation for an on-the-spot investigation.
