This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported on 31 March 1966 at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado. The report identifies the witness as a student named Caramillo, who observed a single, white, star-like object for approximately 10 seconds. The object was described as being roughly half the size of a pencil eraser and appeared to move slowly in a southward direction. The official analysis, conducted by Major Edward L. Stricker of the 4600th Air Base Wing at Peterson Field, concluded that the object was a star or planet. The report explicitly notes that the observer was considered unreliable because they were actively watching for UFOs. The perceived movement of the object was attributed to the movement of 9/10 Cirro Stratus cloud cover, which allowed the star to be seen through breaks in the clouds. The report follows the standard format required by AFR 200-2.
