Ubon, Thailand, June 1962June 1962

Insufficient Data

Summary

This case concerns a reported sighting on June 20, 1962, near Ubon, Thailand. The location and date come from a 1963 letter to the Air Force, not from a sighting report. The letter writer, a former U.S. Army member, said an incident involving unidentified flying objects took place near Ubon and that named senior officers had knowledge of it.

The writer asked whether details of the incident were classified and whether an official report was available. He wanted to discuss the matter with acquaintances.

This report was filed under Project 10073, the Air Force's official record for unidentified flying object reports. The Air Force replied that its files contained no report of an unidentified flying object seen in Thailand in June 1962. Officials said the writer was free to discuss the sighting and offered to evaluate any firsthand information. No firsthand details were provided, so the Air Force concluded there was insufficient data for evaluation.
