City Oklahoma, by Captain George S. Leonard Jr, 7Oth Bomb Wing SAC
(FMSC) Clinton Sherman AFB, Oklahoma 73632, to examine all aspects of
the allegation made by 2 farm hands that a UFO was ghted by them at
0430 hours, 19 June 1968.
2. The investigation supported pictures, letters
of certification and AFR 80-17 (c1) on sighting of
unidentified phenomena, from personal interview of the 2 farm hands by
Captain Leonard, at the sight of the phenomenon. A radioactivity
check was made of the area with negative results. Verification from
area revealed only one aircraft in the area.
3. Conclusions reached Conclusions reached by my limited knowledge in knowledge in this investigation
are inconclusive. The only determination of inconclusive. The only determination of cause I would suggest is
a combination of freak weather and a straying a combination of freak weather and a straying from course route by the
small aircraft in the area.
