Project 10073 Record Card — Ashland, Kentucky, 3 Oct 63

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting in Ashland, Kentucky, on October 3, 1963. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single object that appeared like a 'space ship' with heat waves, goldish silver in color, and shaped like an 'upside down plate.' The object was observed for approximately 20 seconds, during which it emitted a high-pitched sound and increased its altitude. The sighting was reported to the Office of the President, which subsequently forwarded the inquiry to the Air Force. Colonel Charles T. Van Vliet of the Air Force's Public Information Division responded to the witness, providing FTD 164 forms for the witness to complete to facilitate a formal investigation. The final evaluation on the record card concludes that the report was unreliable or contained insufficient data for a definitive analysis, noting that while no information presented conflicted with standard aircraft analysis, the case was categorized as having insufficient data for evaluation.
