Project Blue Book file, 9 December 1965 fireball

U.S. Air Force (hosted by The Black Vault) · 37 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book case file, hosted by The Black Vault, covers a fireball seen on 9 December 1965 over Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Canada, and concludes it was a meteor. It holds memos on calls about Acme, Pennsylvania, where a search from the Oakdale Radar Site found nothing, plus letters from witnesses and a photographer. It also includes a Sky and Telescope article on the Great Lakes fireball and letters identifying material found in Lapeer County as chaff.

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

We placed a call to Royal Oaks, Michigan to Mr Major Quintanilla talked to Mrs. Mr was driving down the highway when he saw a flash. He wasn't sure if he heard a sound. He pulled over to the side of the highway and got out his camera and took a picture. At this time, he only has the negative. On the negative, there appears to be a cloud of smoke. It is going in a certain direction. Mrs said that she would be very glad to send the negative or prints of the negative.
