Project 10073 Record — Pittsburgh, Pa. (2 May 1966)

This document contains the Project 10073 record regarding a civilian sighting of two unidentified objects in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 2, 1966. The witness reported observing two bright, round objects, described as being the size of a nickel with a silvery blinking center. The objects were initially seen at a 30-degree elevation, with one positioned in the east and one in the west. According to the report, the objects traveled westward, hovered for approximately five to six minutes, and then disappeared instantaneously. The Air Force initiated an investigation, assigning the case to 1LT Stephen R. Paquette, who noted that the probable cause appeared to be natural phenomena. However, the official conclusion for the project record remained 'Insufficient Data for Evaluation' because an FTD Form 164 sent to the witness was never returned. The file includes a follow-up letter dated May 10, 1966, from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, requesting the witness complete and return the form. The document also includes technical weather data and internal military message traffic regarding the report.
