January 1957 (the day does not survive legibly)
The record: The Air Force's index for 1957 opens its January page with a South Bend case — the first data line under the month's heading in both digitized copies of the index. The redacted copy gives it as: "South Bend, Indiana — Insufficient Data." The unredacted copy adds an observer's surname, which its digitized text renders as "Van Acher," and the same evaluation. The entry is printed at index size, as this section's last Blue Book-era touch with the county: a report from South Bend in January 1957, from a witness whose name the record preserves only in a degraded text layer, which the Air Force closed as it had closed Mishawaka's five years before — insufficient data to judge.
