Summary

In July 1968, a witness in Binghamton, New York, reported an elongated object with a drooping tail and flashing lights. The phenomenon was observed for a few minutes, but due to the lack of responses from other witnesses and confusion in the official report, it was classified as "insufficient for evaluation." The document shows how the Blue Book project attempted to gather data, albeit with limited success.

The case reflects the methodology of the time, where AF Form 117s were sent to witnesses, but in this case, no complete responses were received. Despite the detailed description from the observer, the lack of additional information prevented a definitive classification. Cases like this, though sometimes confusing, are valuable for understanding how sightings were handled in the 1960s.
