AI-Generated Summary
An Air Force veteran reported a UFO sighting in Ohio in August 1967. The Air Force deemed the report insufficient for scientific evaluation and requested further documentation, which was never provided.
This document collection contains correspondence and a project record regarding a UFO sighting reported by an Air Force veteran on August 20, 1967. The witness, writing to Major Quintanilla, describes observing a star-like object in the sky near Norwalk, Ohio, on Route 250, and later near Medina, Ohio, on Route 18. The witness reports that the object moved erratically and eventually vanished. The witness expresses skepticism regarding explanations such as 'swamp gas' or planets. The Air Force, through the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, responded to the witness on August 29, 1967, via Colonel James C. Manatt. The official response stated that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that the witness complete an FTD Form 164. A subsequent project record indicates that the form was sent but not returned after 30 days, leading to a classification of 'INSUFFICIENT DATA' for the case.
I just can't go along with the swamp gas or planet in the sky answer.
