UFO Report

This is a report on the Marlin Marshall case of Oxford, Michigan, the sighting of 7 May 65.

I called Mr [redacted] on November 29th, slightly a bit late after the 7th of May. Mr. [redacted] conducted a very intelligent conversation over the telephone, was circumspect in his answers and well above average in intelligence and articulateness. He owns a 42-acre farm but does not farm it since he is a supervisor at the Pontiac Motor Works. He is transforming his farm into a sort of wildlife refuse. I am sending him a Form 164 because he and his son are going out to re-enact the crime a…

The duration of the sighting was of the order of one minute. He had just sent his son into the house for stronger binoculars when the object began to fade and was obscured by clouds. It could …

Dear Allen,

Regarding the observation by Mr. from Oxford, Michigan. Request your evaluation of his sighting. We sent him a FTD Form 164 but it was not returned to our office.

I feel that there is sufficient information here to keep us from putting it in the insufficient data category. Perhaps a phone call might do some good.

Dear Sir:

At approximately 7:30 to 7:40 P.M. on Friday the 7th day of May, 1965 the following took place:

My 12 year old son, my 9 year old daughter and I, had just neared our home after an evening walk through our woods. I had a pair of 6 X 30 binoculars in hand. My son noted that something was moving in the sky and called my attention to same. He pointed out the shiny object direct overhead and I focused my field glasses on same and made the statement that it must be a sputnik type vehicle as it looked to be at great height and no motor noises could be heard.

Since it was uncomfor…
