Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 1 Jan 67

This document contains the official record and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported on January 1, 1967, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The witness, identified as a paperboy, observed a single object at approximately 1310Z. The object was described as a large sheet of plywood with a dome, estimated to be three times the size of a house. It featured three blinking lights (two red, one orange). The witness reported that the object hovered overhead at an altitude of 50 feet before moving south, with its nose tipped like a helicopter, eventually disappearing behind a house. The observation lasted for three minutes. The Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, evaluated the report and concluded that there was insufficient data for a scientific evaluation. Captain James W. Wllstrom noted that no other reports regarding this incident were received through military or civil channels. The documentation includes the project record, a formal letter to the witness requesting further information via FTD Form 164, and the original incoming staff message.
