The object was not moving except when the witness would travel
in the car. The object looked as if it was only about 500-700
feet above the car. It looked like thera was a craft on top
of another craft. There was no sound at all during the obser-
vation. The witnesses name is as follows:

1. Surface wind data required to complete the evaluation of a reported
UFO sighting at Pittsburgh, Pa., on 3 April 1967 at 2oooL hours, was not
available. However, as a possible aid to your evaluation, the surface
wind at 1900L hours on 3 April 1967 was 310 degrees at 14 knots.
2. Data sources were the ETAC surface history files.

spate of reports, apparently all through the year, and ev , as late
as November 3, 1967, when , made a typicai ;e en-
counter,luminous body sighting. It was big enough to drive a car
in", said, was shaped like a cigar - one eud was
round."
I believe there is a moral to be drawn from the Wellington case.
Had the Altus Air Force Base reacted promptly and done a good investi-
partiruiar, had
found out how Mr. had come into possession of said pictures, a
preferential interpretation their sighting. The sighting was of
short duration and the telescopic sighting was 20 seconds or less,
hardly enough time to make a cold a appraisal at a time of high excite-
ment. Proper investigation at the local level could have easily
determined how much of this Cerpretation and how much was fact.
whatever is given to the sanity and reliability of the observer. If
it was an aircraft, then it created in the mind of the observer an
entire fantasy, because as the observer stated, "there is no object
I've ever seen similar to this object I saw. Or could even compare
to it."

With respect to the light, witness stated, "there is nothing I know
of, or that I've ever seen with r I lights that were as vibrant or
as brilliant".
Finally, witness became frightened because object appeared so
close directly over her car, and yet said there was no sound at all.
Unless one is willing to call this an absolute hallucination, and
that there was no physical outfit present whatever, the evaluation
"aircraft" simply
This case is sufficiently interesting for me to interviow the
witnesses, as there were two rather than one as stated. Thcy were
independent and talked about it only after each had seen separately.
I will make this personal investigation and report later.

I would agree with the evaluation of possible birds, bu: ;
suppose to be fair we should also add, possible unidentified (uata
observed flying in V formation. This actually strengthens the
rginia.
25. 5 April 1967, Westmi ister, Colorado
Since the 164 was not returned the evaluation "insufficient data",
I suppose, is entirely correct, but the case itself is interesting
in that there were 15 witnesses. Here is one case the Coudon Committee
should have looked into, since it was right at their back door. They
should have looked into it particularly since there were l5 witnesses.
AIso 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.
