Project 10073 Record — Henniker, New Hampshire, 29 March 1966

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a sighting of unidentified aerial phenomena in Henniker, New Hampshire, on the night of March 29-30, 1966. The witness, a 19-year-old college student and editor of the New England College Weekly newspaper, reported observing four objects for approximately six hours. The witness described the objects as appearing as bright lights in colors of bluish-green, red, and yellow, moving in various directions, including left, right, up, and down. The witness noted that the objects were silent and appeared to be 'squashed down fluorescent tubes' when viewed through binoculars. The witness claimed that over 100 other students from New England College were present on a bridge and witnessed the event. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the objects were astronomical in nature, specifically identifying them as the stars or planets Spica, Betelgeuse, Jupiter, and Sirius, based on their azimuth and elevation at 0300Z. The witness reported the event to the local police, WABC-New York, and NICAP shortly after the incident.
