AI-Generated Summary
A civilian reported a 30-second sighting of a round, bluish-gray object in Shreveport, Louisiana, on September 23, 1966. The Air Force deemed the initial report insufficient and requested further documentation from the witness.
This document consists of a Project 10073 record and a follow-up letter regarding a civilian sighting in Shreveport, Louisiana, on September 23, 1966. The witness reported observing a single, large, round, bluish-gray object for approximately 30 seconds. The object reportedly traveled southward, moved toward the observer, stopped for a second or two, and then changed direction. The initial conclusion recorded by the Air Force was that the object was possibly an aircraft, noting that the description was consistent with such an observation. However, in a subsequent letter dated October 13, 1966, Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of Project Blue Book, informed the witness that the information provided was insufficient for a formal evaluation. The Air Force requested that the witness complete an attached FTD Form 164 to provide further details.
The information which we have received is not sufficient for evaluation.
