Project 10073 Record — Superior, Wisconsin, 23 August 1965

This document details a UFO sighting reported in Superior, Wisconsin, on August 23, 1965. A student observer reported seeing a single object with a green and red ring around it for a duration of one hour. The observer, using binoculars, described the object as appearing the size of a penny at arm's length. The object was initially sighted in the north and was observed heading east before disappearing at the horizon. The weather was reported as clear and very dark. The Air Force, through Project Blue Book, investigated the report and concluded that the object was likely a star or planet. Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, noted that the reported red and green colors could be explained by local dust conditions or light refraction, as stars are known to occasionally exhibit such color shifts. The Air Force requested additional information from the witness via FTD Form 164, as the initial report was deemed insufficient for a definitive evaluation. The case was ultimately classified as an 'Astro Observation,' though the file remained subject to change pending the return of the requested form.
