“Assistance in obtaining information concerning a reported
unidentified flying object in the Gower, Mo., area [Groveton, Missouri] 4:30
o’clock in the morning, February 9 [1968], was asked of John C. Riley, jr.,
city aviation director, by the Air Force.
The request came from Maj. Hector Quintanilla, chief
of the Aerial Phenomena office of the Foreign Technology division of the Air
Force headquarters at the Wright Patterson base in Ohio
The letter from the Air Force stated:
The Aerial Phenomena office is in receipt of an
unidentified flying object report from Gower ,
Mo.
The observer [a farmer at a farm] sighted an extremely
bright light and also heard a noise. It sounded similar to the swish of a piece
of wire, whirled at high speed above a person’s head, and had pulsating rhythm
of some kind. Initially the object was hovering, but when it moved toward the
southwest, the noise was two or three louder and the sound pulsations were more
rapid.”
