The following report information is a transcribed extract from the UFO sighting report files of the Virginia Beach, Virginia, Police Department, taken from a chronology of Virginia Beach, Virginia UFO sighting reports on file with the Virginia Beach Police Department dating back to May 1976.  All quotes are taken directly from the original report forms and some extrapolation is made for the description of the UFO(s) sighted, as not all of the report details were recorded in complete and full sentences by the dispatcher who received the report.
