Summary

FBI-UAP-D014 is a five-page FBI correspondence file relating to UFO sightings covering 1967-1974, released under a 2007 automatic declassification authority. The OCR-extracted text includes a 22 September 1967 FBI memorandum from the special agent in charge of the Chicago office relaying a telephone report from an 11-year-old resident who watched a 'flash of light' travel northward in the sky in September 1967. The FBI furnished the information to Sergeant Eugene Ripka of the Army-Air Force 755th Radar Squadron in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The file reflects the FBI's routing of citizen UFO reports to military agencies for follow-up.
