Project 10073 Record — Kittery, Maine, 5 April 1966

This document contains the Project Blue Book record for a sighting that occurred on 5 April 1966 in Kittery, Maine. The report details an observation made by four witnesses, including a joiner from the local Naval Base, who observed a single object for approximately five minutes. The witness reported seeing the object on the ground before it rose above the tree line, moving at the speed of a helicopter. The object was described as having an intense red color and was observed through binoculars from a distance of approximately 3/4 of a mile. The witness noted that the object appeared to stop for a couple of minutes and that the night was foggy. The official conclusion for the incident was 'Insufficient Data' because the witness failed to return the required FTD Form 164, which had been requested by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr. of Project Blue Book in a letter dated 18 April 1966. The file includes the original project record, the follow-up correspondence from the Air Force, and the data report form.
