Project 10073 Record — Enid, Oklahoma, 6 April 1966

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported by a 71-year-old civilian in Enid, Oklahoma, on 6 April 1966. The observer, a part-time babysitter, reported seeing a single, white, light-bulb-shaped object, approximately 4 feet in diameter and 6 feet long, moving from east to west at the height of telephone lines. The observation lasted less than one minute. The object appeared bright but did not illuminate the surrounding area. The report was investigated by 2nd Lieutenant Thomas S. Reynolds of the 3575th Pilot Training Wing at Vance Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached was that the object was a meteor. The investigating officer noted that several other people in the area reported seeing a meteor at the same time and in the same relative position. The officer suggested that the observer's specific description of the object might be attributed to a depth perception error, exacerbated by the observer having just stepped outside into the darkness after watching television in a lit room. The report confirms that no photos were taken, no physical evidence was found, and no other unusual activity was reported in the area.
