This document contains a record of a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, on December 23, 1966. The initial report was processed by the Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the U.S. Air Force under Project 10073. The witness described a single, solid, silver object that appeared to hover before suddenly speeding away in a northeasterly direction. The witness noted that the object was brighter than the brightest stars and made no sound. Despite these details, the Air Force concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. Consequently, Colonel James C. Manatt, Director of Technology and Subsystems, issued a letter on February 1, 1967, to the witness, requesting that they complete a formal FTD Form 164 to facilitate a more thorough investigation. The file includes the project record, the correspondence from the Air Force, and the blank questionnaire provided to the witness for further documentation.
