Project 10073 Record — Sighting in Cisco, Texas, September 26, 1966

This document details a UFO sighting report from September 26, 1966, in Cisco, Texas. Multiple witnesses reported observing a dark, silvery, odd-shaped object, approximately 75 feet in length, hovering just above tree-top level. The object reportedly displayed a red light on its body and emitted a bright white light while hovering. Witnesses described the object's movement as more rapid than a jet aircraft, with square and definite turns. The object was reported to have no wings, protrusions, smoke, or vapor trails. There were significant discrepancies in the witness accounts regarding the duration of the sighting, with one observer claiming to have watched it for an hour and another for only ten minutes. The Air Force investigation, led by Major Hector Quintanilla, Jr. of Project Blue Book, included inquiries with the FAA, Fort Wolters operations, and the Cisco Police Department, none of which yielded any corroborating data or reports. The Air Force also investigated the possibility of a Goodyear blimp being in the area but concluded that no such craft were present in Texas on that date. Ultimately, the investigation concluded that there was insufficient data to explain the sighting, and the investigator could neither confirm nor deny what was observed.
