Project 10073 Record — Amarillo, Texas, 8 June 1966

This document contains the Project Blue Book record for a UFO sighting reported in Amarillo, Texas, on 8 June 1966. The witness, a student, reported observing two white, star-shaped objects at different times. The objects were described as moving at a very high altitude, with one travelling from the south to the east and the other from a northeast direction toward the south, before dimming out of sight. The observer reported the duration of the sighting as ten minutes. The official conclusion reached by the Air Force was that the sighting was likely a satellite. The file includes a technical information questionnaire completed by the witness, a teletype report (RUWJEUA4936) detailing the incident, and a follow-up letter from Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, requesting further information from the witness. The investigation noted that while the witness appeared sincere, there were discrepancies regarding the time of the sighting. Furthermore, the investigation confirmed that no unusual objects were in the area, though two members of the office reported seeing a falling meteorite around 2100 hours on the same date.
