Aug 21, 1968: Ottsville, Pennsylvania. Photographs of an object were taken as it flew in an irregular and jerky path. Air Force conclusion: Insufficient data for evaluation because the proper Air Force forms had not been filed.

Sept 15, 1968: Ocala, Florida 9:30 p.m. A light was observed doing aerobatics for 15 minutes. Light rose quickly and disappeared among the stars. Almost immediately a second, white light was seen under the haze above Ocala. The pilots of a light plane reported that the light came at them rapidly on a collision course and pilots thought it was a sidewinder missile fired at them.

Oct 24, 1968: Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota Thirty minutes after midnight — 4:30 a.m. A number of Air Force personnel including the crew of a B-52 saw a light that was tracked by both ground based radar and the B-52's on-board radars. Air Force conclusion: Ground visual sighting was probably an aircraft (the B-52) and probably a star, the radar sighting was possibly a plasma, and the air-visual sighting was possibly a plasma.

Nov 23, 1968: Newton, Georgia. Witness encountered brilliant light directly above road as he rounded a bend in road in sparsely settled territory.
