Summary

In April 1966, a witness in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, observed a group of 10 to 12 flying objects moving eastward. The young observer, using binoculars, described the objects as bright star-like points but with unusual behavior. The objects maintained a constant speed and an irregular V-shaped pattern, similar to birds in flight. One object lagged slightly before catching up with the rest. Despite clear skies, the witness could not discern definite shapes due to the short duration of the observation.

The official conclusion attributed the sighting to birds, though the witness insisted it was not planes or natural phenomena. The report noted no physical evidence or photographs, and the witness did not contact the nearby airport directly. Although he called a local radio station, there were no other reports of the sighting. The testimony was sent to Project Blue Book, where additional information was requested, but no conclusive resolution was reached.
