Project 10073 Record — Sighting Report, Troy, New York, 26 September 1966

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Troy, New York, on September 26, 1966. The observer, who was in his home, reported feeling the room get warm before noticing a bright light in the sky. He observed the object for approximately three minutes. Initially appearing as a bright star, the object began to move slowly, stopped and started, and eventually flew over the building where the observer was located. The observer noted that the object had a red and green light, a luminous glow on its belly, and made no sound. The observer also mentioned an interest in UFO sightings since the spring of 1966, specifically referencing sightings in Michigan and broadcasts by a retired Marine Major named Keho. The observer speculated on a potential connection between these sightings and the northeastern blackout of November 1965. The official Air Force conclusion, as stated in the record, is that the sighting is possibly an aircraft, noting that the red and green lights are characteristic of aircraft lighting. The document includes a letter from the observer to the Air Force, a completed U.S. Air Force Technical Information questionnaire, and a follow-up letter from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division, dated February 2, 1967, informing the observer that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of an FTD Form 164.
