AI-Generated Summary
A 1967 UFO sighting report from Holliston, Massachusetts, involving two round, metallic objects. The Air Force concluded there was insufficient data for a scientific evaluation.
This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an incident that occurred on January 30, 1967, in Holliston, Massachusetts. The witness, an employee of Raytheon Co., reported observing two objects at approximately 0630Z. The witness described the objects as round, white, and metallic, featuring small tails and white lights with a red light in the center. According to the witness, one object was larger than the other, and they were initially stationary at an altitude of approximately 500 feet before moving forward over treetops and eventually climbing at what the witness described as supersonic speed. The witness reported hearing a 'turbo' sound as the objects began to climb. The Air Force Foreign Technology Division (FTD) initially contacted the witness on March 17, 1967, stating that the information received was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of FTD Form 164. The subsequent investigation, conducted by Major George E. Copoulos, included a detailed questionnaire and sketches provided by the witness. Despite the witness's detailed account and the investigator's assessment that the witness was an intelligent and mature individual, the official conclusion remained 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION.' The file includes the original correspondence, the completed questionnaire, and the investigator's summary.
The body of the object seemed to be metallic - there were no wings - it had no tail but there was part of a pipe. There was no smoke.
