11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS The observer sighted an egg shaped object that had a blue light on it and also four red lights that formed a square.

COMMENTS: An AF Form 117 was sent to the witness, but he has not returned it as of 3 Sep 68. The observer had been reading UFO literature. In particular about the Socorro, New Mexico sighting. The Stardust Motel in Alton, Illinois is located near Louisville, Kentucky is only about ten miles south of New Albany. No one from the area reported seeing a similar object to us for this night. Because of the young age of the observer, his lack of substantiating evidence and his proximity to a large commercial airport, it is felt that he probably saw an aircraft.

FORM RTD 04/29 (TDE)
