AI-Generated Summary
A civilian in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, reported a large, stationary, crescent-shaped object in the northwest sky on March 29, 1966. The Air Force investigation concluded the object was the moon.
This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report regarding an incident on March 29, 1966, in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. A civilian witness reported observing a stationary, crescent-shaped object in the northwest sky at approximately 0130 hours. The witness described the object as yellow-orange in color and significantly larger than the moon. The observation lasted for over 30 minutes. The witness initially believed the object was the moon but noted its position in the northwest as inconsistent with the moon's expected location. The witness also mentioned that a neighbor had observed the same object two nights prior. The Air Force, specifically Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., requested that the witness complete a formal FTD Form 164 questionnaire, as the initial letter provided insufficient information for evaluation. The final conclusion recorded by the project was 'Astro (MOON)', noting that the moon was setting at 315 degrees azimuth at the time of the sighting.
The object looked just like the moon only much larger.
