1. The following information is provided to assist you in a reply
to Congressman | farvey regarding a UFO sighting in Saint Clair County,
Michisan, on 12 Nov 63. |

NS

It is believed that the object sighted by Deputy Baker was a

liconvter. However, efforts to identify 2 specific vehicle have
provea negative. Reasons for belief that the object was a helicopter
as 2

2, uring telephone conversation between Doctor J Allen Hynek
and Deputy Baker information received indicated that this was the
most probable cause.

b. A helicopter was od
ubsequent days by other pe
ri

the osservations were car

oserved during the day light hours on
rsons in the ares and their stories of
2a in local newspapers.

c. Efforts to identity these subsequent ooservations with a
particular helicopter also proved negative.

3- Should Congressman Harvey desire further investigative efforts

to identify known helicopter activity in the area, officials from

Selfridge AFB may be directed to conduct this investigation. However,

we feel that additional expenditure of funds and manpower is not

warranted in view of the long delay in time since the initial report.
sea so, we feel that there is sufficient circumstantial evidence to

tity an evaluation of this sighting as a helicopter observation.
