Project Blue Book Sighting Report — Sullivan, Indiana, May 1967

This document contains the Project Blue Book file for a sighting reported by an individual in Graysville, near Sullivan, Indiana, on 12 May 1967. The witness reported observing a bronze-colored, dome-topped, inverted-wing object hovering 15 to 20 feet above the ground for approximately 20 minutes. The witness further alleged that two individuals, described as having long golden hair and wearing silvery blue-white clothing, exited the craft. One of these individuals reportedly carried a black box. The witness claimed that these entities did not speak but eventually returned to their vehicle and departed. The witness also claimed to have recovered a sample of 'angel hair' from the site, which he asserted was tin. Air Force personnel, including Major Richard J. Smart and Colonel Joe T. Pound, conducted an informal background investigation into the witness. The findings were consistently negative regarding the witness's credibility. Local contacts, including a former employer and the witness's own uncle, described the individual as an alcoholic, frequently intoxicated, and unstable. It was also noted that the witness had been a suspect in an attempted armed robbery two years prior. Consequently, the Air Force concluded that the witness was unreliable and did not pursue the investigation further, noting that no additional reports were received from the area. The file includes correspondence between Air Force personnel at Bakalar Air Force Base and Project Blue Book investigators, confirming the decision to dismiss the report based on the witness's character.
