UFO Observation and Photographs, 27 June 1967 — Wichita, Kansas

This collection of documents details the administrative handling of a UFO sighting report submitted by Jefferson Villar regarding an incident on 27 June 1967 in Wichita, Kansas. The witness reported observing a saucer-shaped object that hovered, wobbled, and eventually sped away to the northwest. The witness took still photographs of the object, which were submitted to the Air Force for evaluation. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, under the direction of Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., processed the film and forwarded the materials to the University of Colorado for further investigation as part of the Air Force's UFO research efforts. Throughout 1967 and 1968, the Air Force attempted to maintain contact with the witness to obtain additional information, but correspondence sent to the witness's address in Union City, New Jersey, was repeatedly returned marked 'Refused.' The case was ultimately classified as 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The documents include internal routing slips, formal letters between the FTD and the University of Colorado, and correspondence with the witness's associates. The original negatives were eventually returned to the submitter in late 1968 after a request was made by an associate. The file also contains several photographic prints of the object, which appear as a small, light-colored shape in the sky above residential buildings.
