Project Blue Book Correspondence — Easton, Pennsylvania Sighting, June 1966

This document consists of a Project 10073 record and associated correspondence between an unidentified civilian witness and Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr. of Project Blue Book. The witness, writing on August 10, 1966, reported a sighting that occurred at the end of June 1966 near Easton, Pennsylvania. The witness described an object resembling a submarine without a conning tower, lacking fins or wings, which flew at an altitude of approximately 300 feet. The object displayed white lights at the front and rear, and two red blinking lights appeared as it crossed the road. The witness also inquired about the investigation of a separate sighting at Presque Isle State Park, specifically asking about tripod-like indentations on the beach investigated by Major William S. Hall. In his response dated August 23, 1966, Major Quintanilla informed the witness that the Easton sighting could not be evaluated due to insufficient data, specifically the lack of a precise date. He provided a summary of the Presque Isle incident and reiterated the Air Force's official stance that there was no evidence of extraterrestrial visitation. The witness was invited to provide more details using an attached FTD Form 164.
