PROJECT 10073 RECORD — Franklin, Massachusetts

This document is a Project 10073 record regarding a series of UFO sightings reported in Franklin, Massachusetts. The report, dated August 14, 1964, originates from the Headquarters Electronic Systems Division of the Air Force Systems Command. It details a report from a female witness who claimed that since July 29, 1964, she had been observing objects resembling lights the size of trailer truck tires dancing on tree tops from dusk until daylight. The witness described the lights as changing colors—red, blue, and white—with one light appearing green and shaped like a boomerang. These sightings reportedly occurred on Thursday and Friday evenings in a wooded area near her home, and the lights would disappear when an aircraft flew overhead. The report notes that a local television program about UFOs aired on August 13, 1964, suggesting a potential influence on the witness's reports. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating agency, Foreign Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB, was that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting that the observations could potentially be attributed to ground lights or the witness's imagination.
