Project 10073 Record: Sighting in Bartlett, New Hampshire, 26 February 1966

This document contains records related to a UFO sighting in Bartlett, New Hampshire, on 26 February 1966. Two witnesses reported seeing a bright, round, white light with a red glow that appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in the same direction three times over a period of two minutes. The object was described as having a dark center at its nearest point and was estimated to be smaller than the moon. The witnesses reported that their dog was disturbed during the event, acting as if it heard a high-pitched sound. The Air Force investigated the report, with correspondence between the 817th Air Division and the Foreign Technology Division. Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla, who evaluated the case, noted that the witnesses were not very articulate and that there were inconsistencies in their accounts, such as conflicting reports about the presence of the moon and the weather. Despite follow-up efforts, including a phone call, the case remained classified as indeterminate due to the meager and inconsistent nature of the information provided. The document also includes a separate, unrelated report of a sighting near Hanna City Air Force Station, Illinois, on 27 February 1966, involving an oval-shaped object that circled a car, which is included in the same file.
