Unless one is willing to call this an absolute hallucination. and
that there was no physical outfit present whatever, the e"anation
"aircraft" simply won't hold up.
This case is sufficiently interesting for me to interviev the

Since the 164 was not returned the evaluation "insufficient data",
I suppose, is entirely correct, but the case itself is interc-ting
in that there were 15 witnesses. Here is one case the Condon Conumittee
should have looked into, since it was right at their back door. They
should have looked into it particularly since there were l5 witnesses.
Also the object was visible for 15 minutes, and it was observed through
a telescope. Even at this late date this might be worth a call. As
a matter of fact, when I am in Boulder this July I will look into it
myself, but for the statistics, the evaluation "insufficient data"
certainly holds.
