UFO Sighting in Indianapolis in 1966

Summary

In November 1966, a witness in Indianapolis, Indiana, reported seeing an unidentified object in the sky. The report, part of a detailed questionnaire from the U.S. Air Force, includes questions about the object’s appearance, movement, and sky conditions. The witness could not accurately determine the size or distance of the object but described its shape and behavior. Although the object was not identified as a natural phenomenon or an aircraft, the report reflects the official interest in better understanding UFO sightings.

The questionnaire also shows the methodology used by authorities to collect data, such as estimating angular size with a matchstick. Despite the lack of conclusive answers, the document is an example of how UFO information was handled in the 1960s, with a technical and confidential approach.
