UFO Observation Report — Shreveport, Louisiana, 31 May 1967

This document contains a U.S. Air Force sighting report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon observed on May 31, 1967, in Shreveport, Louisiana. The primary witness, a 14-year-old student, reported observing a white, egg-shaped object with five red lights hovering over the Ridgewood Junior High School. The witness described the object as having no sound and estimated its size to be less than the head of a match held at arm's length. According to the witness, the object hovered, then moved at a high rate of speed before stopping and vanishing. The witness speculated that the object might have entered 'another dimension.' The report includes a formal letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, dated June 13, 1967, requesting that the witness complete an FTD Form 164 for scientific evaluation. The completed questionnaire provides details on the sighting, including weather conditions (clear and dry) and the witness's observation that the object's speed was comparable to a U-2 aircraft. The official conclusion recorded on the project record is 'Aircraft (possible).'
