Project 10073 Record: Sighting in Beverly Shores, Indiana, 30 March 1966

This document contains a Project Blue Book record regarding a UFO sighting in Beverly Shores, Indiana, on March 30, 1966. The primary witness, a civilian, reported observing an object that initially appeared as an unusual star but later landed on the ground near her home. The witness described the object as a large, round, silvery light with long lighted points. She further claimed that the object hovered, landed, and later flew across the street, eventually moving eastward. In subsequent correspondence with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the witness detailed her experience, including a claim that a friend had received an electric shock from a wire hanging from a 'Flying Saucer' and that she suspected the objects were being operated by the Russians. She also referenced a newspaper clipping regarding a sighting by Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur in Ravenna, Ohio, which she explicitly stated was not Venus. The Air Force investigation, led by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., concluded that the object was the planet Venus, citing its position in the sky at the time. The document includes the official Project 10073 record, the witness's letters to the Air Force, and a response from Major Quintanilla requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164.
