Project 10073 Record: Algodones, New Mexico Sighting

This document contains records related to a UFO sighting reported on August 2, 1965, in Algodones, New Mexico. The incident involved a single object that was observed for approximately one hour. The object was described as hovering and making a 'strange sound,' moving away when approached. The report was classified as having 'insufficient data for evaluation' by Project Blue Book. The documentation includes a Project 10073 record, a letter from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr. to Officer Flores of the State Highway Patrol requesting further information from the witnesses, and a follow-up memo from Major Saul Faktorow regarding weather conditions and the lack of confirmed aircraft in the area. The investigation was hampered by the fact that the initial report was second-hand and the witness's contact information was not provided. Subsequent attempts to send forms to the witness via the local police were unsuccessful, as the forms were returned with an 'Address unknown' marking.
