Project 10073 Record Card — Roseburg, Oregon, 13 November 1961

This document details a UFO sighting report filed by a 14-year-old civilian in Roseburg, Oregon, on 13 November 1961. The witness reported observing a silent, gliding object that maneuvered through the sky for approximately two minutes and thirty seconds. The witness, who was returning home from school, claimed to have taken three photographs of the object using a camera and binoculars. In his correspondence with the U.S. Air Force, the witness expressed his belief that the object was a 'flying saucer' and suggested that the government was withholding information from the public by attributing such sightings to balloons or airplanes. The Air Force initiated an investigation under Project 10073, requesting the negatives and prints from the witness. However, upon examination by the Foreign Technology Division, the provided materials failed to reveal any identifiable image of an aerial object. Multiple internal memos from 1962 and 1963 confirm that the Air Force returned the negative and prints to the witness, noting that the data was inconclusive and insufficient for evaluation. The case was ultimately closed with a classification of 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The file includes the original record card, the witness's completed technical information sheet, correspondence between the witness and the Air Force, and internal military communications regarding the handling of the photographic evidence.
