Project 10073 Record — Greenville, South Carolina, 15 Nov 66

On November 15, 1966, an individual identified as a former Air Force aircraft mechanic reported a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in Greenville, South Carolina. The witness observed a white light with a smaller red light in its center for a duration of 10 to 15 minutes. The red light was noted to be blinking off and on at two-second intervals. The witness estimated the object to be larger than a C-135 aircraft and flying at an altitude of approximately 700 feet, with a speed slightly less than 100 knots. The observer reported that the object made no sound. The weather conditions at the time were described as dry with a clear sky. The witness reported the incident to the Greenville Control Tower, which confirmed that there were no known balloons or aircraft in the local area at the time of the sighting. The official conclusion recorded on the Project 10073 form is that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting that contact could not be made with the witness due to an insufficient address and that there was not enough information to warrant a detailed study.
