This document details a UFO sighting report from New Milford, Connecticut, occurring on July 3, 1965. Three witnesses reported observing a top-shaped, brightly lit object that appeared to rise slowly from the southern horizon. The witnesses described the object as being yellow and red in color, stationary for a period, and approximately twice the size of an aircraft. They later observed it moving toward the west, noting a jet plane outline directly behind the object with a visible contrail. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force Systems Command initiated an investigation under Project 10073. FTD Form 164s were sent to the witnesses on August 20, 1965, to gather more information. However, after a 60-day delay with no response, the case was officially closed and categorized as 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation.' The file includes correspondence between the FTD and the Office of Information regarding the distribution of these forms to the witnesses.
