· February 1961

This document is not a pulp magazine but rather a U.S. Air Force UFO sighting report form (ATIC Form 329, revised February 1960). It contains a completed investigation record for an incident dated February 22, 1961, in Akron, Ohio. A civilian observer reported witnessing a sharply outlined silvery object approximately the size of an automobile, passing within 600 feet at low altitude with an audible sound described as resembling 1,000 jets. The sighting lasted thirty seconds. The object appeared no brighter than stars despite its claimed size. Investigators marked the case "Insufficient Data for Evaluation" due to conflicting details: the observer couldn't provide consistent information on speed, shape, or motion despite close proximity and extended viewing time. The form requests detailed witness information across multiple pages, including directional bearings, sky conditions, and comparative size estimates.
