Red Devil, AlaskaJuly 1959

Insufficient Data

Summary

In July 1959, three witnesses in Red Devil, Alaska reported seeing an unidentified object. The sighting lasted about five minutes and was observed from the ground during daylight hours.

The witnesses completed a detailed questionnaire about what they saw, though much of the OCR text is difficult to read clearly. Based on the legible portions of the form, the object appeared as a light in the sky. The witnesses noted details about its brightness, edges, and movement, though the specific answers to many questions are not clearly readable in the scanned document.

The Air Force evaluated the case and concluded that there was insufficient data to make a determination about what the object was. No photographs or physical evidence were collected during the investigation.

The full case file is reproduced below as held by the National Archives, 8 pages.
