Project 10073 Record: Shreveport, Louisiana Sighting, 7 April 1966

This document is a collection of reports and correspondence related to various UAP sightings in 1966 and 1967. The primary report concerns a sighting in Shreveport, Louisiana, on 7 April 1966, where four witnesses observed two objects with red and white lights. The objects were described as having a high-frequency humming sound and moving erratically before disappearing. The official conclusion for this incident, filed by Major Donald R. Ryan, was that the lights were reflections from a local carnival on low-altitude clouds. The archive also contains correspondence from students in Berkley, Massachusetts, and other locations, inquiring about UAPs or reporting their own sightings. These include a report from a student in Berkley regarding a sighting on 7 April 1966, and another from a resident in Corvallis, Oregon, detailing a year's worth of activity. Additionally, the file includes a report from the Department of the Army regarding a sighting in Aberdeen, Maryland, and a report from the Littleton Police Department concerning a sighting in Daniels Park, Colorado, which involved a group of teenagers who reported seeing a tall figure and strange lights. The investigation into the Daniels Park case was conducted by Dr. J. Allen Hynek. The documents reflect the Air Force's efforts to investigate and categorize these reports, often attributing them to conventional explanations such as aircraft, stars, planets, or ground reflections, while acknowledging the difficulty of obtaining corroborating evidence for many of the reported events.
