UFO Observation Report — Greenup, Kentucky, August 1967

This document contains a series of records regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 16-year-old male in Greenup, Kentucky, on August 16, 1967. The witness contacted the Duty Officer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to report the event. The witness described observing two objects for approximately one hour and thirty minutes, beginning at 2300 hours. The objects were characterized as having a dome on top, a saucer-like shape, orange edges, and a red light on the bottom. The witness reported that the objects appeared and reappeared, changed brightness, and at times seemed to speed up and rush away. The witness estimated the speed of the objects to be between 150 and 200 miles per hour at an altitude of 6000 feet. The witness also noted a humming sound associated with the objects. The Air Force, through the Aerial Phenomena Branch of the Foreign Technology Division, sent the witness FTD Form 164 to document the sighting. Correspondence between the Air Force and the witness indicates that the initial information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. The Air Force also contacted the FAA Control Tower at Portsmouth Municipal Airport, located approximately ten miles from Greenup, to inquire if their personnel had observed any similar objects or unusual aircraft activity in the area during the time of the sighting. The final conclusion recorded in the file is that there was insufficient data to reach a definitive explanation.
