— Editorial

The document records a telephonic report made to the FBI by David Weaver, a resident of Detroit, Michigan, on April 17, 1958. Weaver described observing a circular object in the sky with a crystal-type dome that reflected lights. He mentioned that the object was moving in a northern direction, crossing the city three blocks south of Six Mile at Lamphere Street.

Weaver, who was 23 years old and the son of a Detroit policeman, stated he had previous experience with the Civil Air Patrol, though he did not have extensive familiarity with aircraft identification. After witnessing the object, he attempted to call Selfridge Field, presumably to reach Air Force authorities, but was unsuccessful and subsequently reported his sighting to the FBI.

The memo concludes with a recommendation to forward the report to the proper air force authorities for further investigation. This document serves as an official record of a civilian UFO sighting reported to the FBI.
