Project 10073 Record Card — Lakewood, California, March 17, 1964

On March 17, 1964, at 0600Z, an individual residing on Lakewood Heights Drive in Lakewood, Colorado, reported a sighting of unidentified aerial phenomena. The witness, identified as an ex-Navy pilot and Assistant Base Operations Officer at Lowry Air Force Base, observed 6 to 7 round, bluish-creme objects moving through a 35-degree arc. The objects were described as maintaining a constant speed of 3,000 mph at an estimated altitude of 10,000 feet, arranged in an unbalanced Y formation that was stacked downward. The observation lasted between 3 and 5 seconds before the objects disappeared behind trees in the observer's backyard. The weather was reported as clear and cold with no clouds. The official Air Force evaluation, documented on a Project 10073 record card and via staff message, concluded that the description provided by the witness indicated the objects were possibly a bolide. The report notes that no change in the relationship between the objects was observed during the brief encounter.
