Project 10073 Record — Aswego, New York, 3 March 1966

This document contains a U.S. Air Force Project 10073 record regarding a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Aswego, New York, on March 3, 1966. A group of high school students reported observing a circular, cup-and-saucer-shaped object at approximately 7:20 P.M. The object was described as having two flashing red lights on top and a white light on the bottom. The witnesses reported that the object moved slowly, hovered, and followed them as they walked toward their school. One witness estimated the object was 100 feet away and moving at approximately 10 miles per hour. The witnesses also reported hearing a 'peeping' sound. The Air Force investigation, documented in the summary and analysis, concluded that the sighting was 'conflicting data.' The report suggests the witnesses may have been confused about the distance of the object and notes that it could have been an aircraft with landing lights on. The file includes a letter from the Air Force to the witness requesting the completion of a technical information form, the completed form itself, and a follow-up note indicating that a call to the Rome Air Base regarding the report yielded no further information.
