Project 10073 Record Card - Sighting in France, 24 April 1962

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in France on April 24, 1962. A civilian witness reported observing a scintillating, star-like object for approximately 15 minutes. The object exhibited erratic, zigzag movement, flickered, and changed in brightness while appearing to disappear and reappear. The witness noted that the object made no sound and was yellow in color. The witness, who was outdoors at the time, considered various hypotheses, including an airplane, a weather balloon, or a satellite, but rejected these based on the object's behavior and the lack of wind. The witness concluded that the object was a 'UFO' or 'flying saucer.' Official Air Force correspondence dated May 21, 1962, from Colonel Edward H. Wynn to Hq USAF (SAFOI-3b) indicates that the information provided in the witness's letter was insufficient to warrant a valid conclusion. Consequently, the Air Force requested that additional FTD Form 164 questionnaires be sent to the witness for further details. The final assessment on the record card remains 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.'
