Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Union, New Jersey, 3 April 1966

This document contains a Project Blue Book record regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon reported in Union, New Jersey, on April 3, 1966. The primary witness, an eight-year-old child, reported observing two objects while lying on the ground and looking through binoculars. The witness described the objects as moving at approximately 120 mph, with colors including green, yellow, and bright orange. A secondary observation five minutes later described an object with a bright orange outline and a yellow interior. The report includes a series of technical information questionnaires completed by the witness, as well as hand-drawn sketches illustrating the object's appearance and flight path. The official Air Force assessment, signed by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., noted that the information provided in the initial letter was insufficient for a formal evaluation. FTD Form 164 was sent to the witnesses for further details, but the forms were not returned within 30 days, leading to the conclusion that the case would remain unevaluated unless further information was received.
