(See n map). The observers also stated that they called a local police station who in
turn contacted a radar facility. The name of police department and radar facility
were recuested from the observers but have never been returned. Another point of interest
is the fact that one observer is very interested in UFOs and would like to make a
carreer of UrO investigation. Dr Allen Hynek was requested to comment on this case
in November l967, he has failed to forward any additional information as of
2 September 1968. Because information was r
to respond the sighting is being carried as Insufficient Data for Evaluation.
