Project 10075 Record — Sighting Report, Buras, Louisiana, June 27, 1966

This document is a U.S. Air Force sighting report (Project 10075) detailing an incident that occurred on June 27, 1966, in Buras, Louisiana. The witness, a former Coast Guard member familiar with aircraft and weather balloons, reported observing a single object for approximately five minutes. The object was described as an enormous, revolving, or blinking white light that appeared to be cruising at 30 to 40 m.p.h. at an altitude of approximately 300 feet. The witness noted that the object made no sound and left a trail or tail. The report includes extensive personal correspondence, hand-drawn diagrams, and additional accounts of subsequent sightings by the witness and their family members between August and October 1966. These later sightings involved objects that allegedly traveled along a specific path near a cable television tower, changed color from white to red, and eventually extinguished their lights. The witness expressed a belief that these objects were attracted to the television tower and that they were aware of being observed. Despite the witness's insistence that the objects were not conventional aircraft, the official Air Force conclusion stated that the description was consistent with an aircraft observation.
