TL;DR

A 14-year-old witness in Huntsville, Alabama, reported seeing three red, round objects and a cigar-shaped object on May 9, 1964. The Air Force classified the case as 'conflicting data' due to inconsistencies in the reporting.

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a 14-year-old male in Huntsville, Alabama, on May 9, 1964. The witness reported observing three red, round objects that appeared like airplane landing lights moving from behind a cloud. The witness later described seeing these three objects move toward a larger, cigar-shaped, rocket-like object. The witness estimated the duration of the sighting to be between 8 and 10 minutes and noted that the objects made no sound. The witness provided sketches of the objects and their movement. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base requested further information from the witness via an FTD Form 164, specifically seeking clarification on the motion of the objects and the relationship between the lights. The case was ultimately filed as 'conflicting data' by the Air Force, with the official conclusion noting that the sighting could potentially be an aircraft, a balloon, or 'almost anything else.' The documentation includes the original record card, the witness's completed questionnaire, a letter from the witness to the Department of Unidentified Flying Objects at the Pentagon, and internal Air Force correspondence regarding the investigation.
