UFO Observation, 19 Mar 67 — Los Angeles, California

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report and associated correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Los Angeles, California, on March 19, 1967. The witness, a former Air Force service member and current architect, reported observing three objects moving in formation. The witness described the objects as white and appearing like bright stars, with no sound. The objects reportedly disappeared at approximately five-minute intervals by increasing in brightness before vanishing. The total duration of the sighting was 15 minutes. The witness initially reported the incident to a Captain Summit at the Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) subsequently sent a letter to the witness on April 14, 1967, requesting that they complete an FTD Form 164 for a scientific evaluation. The internal records indicate that the form was forwarded to the witness but was not returned, leading the FTD to conclude that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation. The case file notes that the initial information provided to the Duty Officer was considered 'sketchy'.
