SUMMARY: (inter concise summary of report, Give tignincencs in paragraph. Lim inclorures at lower left. Begin test of report on AF Form 119—Part IL.)

This Office received the enclosed correspondence
concerning the observation of an unidentified flying object

co Nr Se .

Since the subject letter includes great detail, the cor-
respondencs should suffice in presenting the facts surrounde
ing the observation and will not be elaborated upon in this

report.

The only «iditional information that this Office can
supply is that «ne weather at the time of the observation may
be described as 7-mile visibility with high scattered forma-
tione There wers no military or civilian aircraft reported
to be in the «ren at the time; however, this is not conclusivs
proof that air-reft were not in the vicinity. Civilian
authorities «* ‘“arrisburg State Airport indicated that weather
balloons had ‘en released some time earlier, disclaiming the
probability tnat they were in the observer's area at the time.

This Office can offer no definite explanation for the

sighting.

Revert of Sighting - (Cont'4d.) -

Aftar maving the car to a spot just slightly to the South of Newberrytown
(On York Hevyan Rozd) the cbjects were no longer visible «nd the storm to the
Vast of us came in with heavy rein, A commerci2] sirliner or Armed Forces

plene with blinking lights (identifie>tion lights) wis observed flying fouth
Rest ond the relotive intensity of the lights befors mentioned noted to be +t

Jeast 5 times thet of the white teil light. I estim-ted the distance of the
eireraft rt about half thet of the two previous lights.

To ehsck these observations I would like to sea the foliowing cuestions »nswered:

Did any plenea lead »t Olmsteed between 11:08 end 11:15 and in psrticulor

.

ships with low ernising speeds?

2. Did the Horriaburg Airvort land two planes between 11:08 end 11:30 which
cams in from the “«4°?

3. If your se «+h reder was in operstion did it pick up these objects?

Tf? the first t*c inestions are nesctive my own conclusions would eliminate
the pessibility of licot planes because of the severe locel storms end tre lete-

ness of th hour.

If your seerch ~ iar picked them up end raceived no «nswer on interrogetion
it wuld further corr ,erate the presence of some definite objects of abnormal

character.
