This Defense Intelligence Agency release gathers Army and Air Force intelligence reports on unidentified flying objects from several countries.

Other reports describe objects over Kuldja in Sinkiang, China. A 1969 OSI report from Nakhon Phanom, Thailand concludes that a pilot's ground sighting was probably a religious procession carrying ceremonial drums.
