Investigated by a competent body and left unresolved. The rarest grade, and never awarded by us — only recorded.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Sightings from the Project Blue Book era (through 1969) live in Record Group 341 at the National Archives. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

It was around three pm and my wife called me to look up. This UFO was chasing a commercial airliner. It was going the same speed right behind the the plane. It was black and was tumbling as it chased the plane. There was also a yellow/greenish glow around the UFO. We are only ten miles away from San Francisco.

bright blue flash of light in northern and western sky like very nearby lightning but no sound except crazy loud wind gust. Conditions are partly cloudy, bright stars, showers, windy. I have seen a lifetime of midwest lightning displays, never saw this bright blue color or that intense of a flash with no loud crack right behind. Our dogs are not afraid of thunder, wind or lightning, but they ran back to door to be let in and were nervous. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
