Project 10073 Records — Anaheim, California and Stafford Springs, Connecticut

This document contains a collection of records and correspondence related to Project Blue Book investigations of unidentified aerial phenomena in March 1966. The file includes two primary case reports under Project 10073. The first case concerns a sighting in Anaheim, California, where the Air Force attempted to contact a witness, but the report was returned due to an incorrect address, resulting in a conclusion of 'insufficient data for evaluation.' The second case involves a sighting in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, reported by six witnesses. The observer described a dish-shaped object with silver, orange, green, and red colors that moved from the southeast to the northwest without making sound. The Air Force investigation noted conflicting data in the witness's report, specifically regarding whether the event occurred during the day or night, and ultimately concluded that the sighting was likely a satellite. The document also includes correspondence between the witnesses, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Department of the Air Force, illustrating the administrative process of referring civilian reports to the Air Force for evaluation. The file contains completed FTD Form 164 questionnaires, sketches of the objects, and letters from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, requesting further information from the witnesses.
