Project 10073 Record — Cambria, Wisconsin, 2 March 1966

On March 2, 1966, at approximately 0230Z, a civilian witness located one mile southeast of Cambria, Wisconsin, observed an unidentified aerial object. The witness, a housewife whose reliability was assessed as good, reported that the object was oblong in shape and featured blinking red and green lights. Notably, the witness described the object as having propeller-like appendages on its front. The object was observed for five minutes as it traveled from the northwest to the southeast, before turning south and then north. The witness noted that the object passed directly overhead and over her automobile. When the witness turned to watch the road, the object had disappeared. The weather conditions at the time were clear with good visibility, and there were no reports of unusual activity or air traffic in the area at the reported altitude. The Air Force investigation, conducted by the 30th Air Division, concluded that the cause of the sighting was unknown, though it was noted as possibly being an aircraft. No physical evidence was recovered, and no interception action was taken.
