Project 10073 Record — Poulsbo, Washington, January 1966

This document is a Project Blue Book record concerning an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported by a civilian in Poulsbo, Washington, in January 1966. The witness reported observing a bright blue flash in the eastern sky at approximately 6:10 A.M. while eating breakfast. The witness described the event as a series or group of lights that were coalescent rather than incandescent. The witness used 7x50 binoculars to observe the object, which they described as moving straight up and then disappearing to the south. The witness also reported hearing an interference sound on the radio during the event, which they noted was not static. The Air Force sent a letter to the witness on May 3, 1966, signed by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., stating that the information provided in the witness's letter of March 30, 1966, was insufficient for evaluation and requested the completion of an FTD Form 164. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 record is 'Insufficient Data,' with an internal note from the investigator stating that while a personal interview might be beneficial, it was not advised due to the expense and the low probability of obtaining sufficient information.
