This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a sighting in Burnside, Kentucky, on June 14, 1966. A witness, an instructor in mathematics at Somerset Community College, reported observing an object with flashing lights moving in a zig-zag pattern between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM E.S.T. The witness described the object as having red and green lights and moving at a low velocity. The official military conclusion, based on the Project 10073 record, suggests the object was a B-52 aircraft.

The military assessment notes that on June 15 at 0100Z, a B-52 was conducting low-level runs at 3000 feet at a radar bomb scoring site near Burnside, which aligns with the witness's report of the timing and altitude of the observed lights.
I have never before observed a flying object that I could not identify, but I am convinced that what I saw was real and unconventional.
