Project Blue Book Case File

Shreveport, LouisianaOctober 1960

Unidentified

Summary

I appreciate your request, but I must be honest about what I can extract from these OCR'd pages.

The document is severely degraded. While the cover sheet indicates this is a Project Blue Book case from Shreveport, Louisiana in October 1960 marked unidentified, the OCR text on pages 2 through 13 is largely illegible. I can make out fragments of what appears to be witness interview dialogue on pages 10 and 11, with references to jet trails, smoke, colors, and observations during sunset, but the text is too fragmentary and corrupted to construct an accurate narrative account.

Page 11 does contain a clearer paragraph stating: "This interesting phenomena was observed at sunset on Saturday, October 22, 1960, by my wife and I, while enroute to Shreveport, Louisiana, on U.S. Route 71." However, without being able to reliably read the rest of the case materials, investigation summaries, official findings, technical analysis, I cannot responsibly write a full summary.

The 13-page case file from microfilm T1206, Roll 40 is reproduced below as held by the National Archives.
