Project 10073 Record — UFO Observation, 11 January 1967

This document contains a series of reports and correspondence regarding a UFO sighting that occurred on the night of January 11, 1967, near the Jemez Valley School in Canon, New Mexico. Three civilian witnesses, including a housewife and two teachers, reported observing four luminous, oval-shaped objects emitting a light blue haze. According to the reports, three of the objects remained in a formation while one moved independently up and down. The witnesses claimed that the lights in the area went out during the observation, which lasted approximately 20 to 30 seconds before the objects moved north toward Jemez Springs. The incident was reported to the Air Force Special Weapons Center (AFSWC) at Kirtland Air Force Base. Major Orien T. Clark, the Flying Safety Officer, investigated the report and confirmed that there were no supporting aircraft movements in the area at the time of the sighting. However, the initial report submitted by Major Clark was deemed inadequate and incomplete by the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which requested further compliance with Air Force Regulation 80-17. The final conclusion recorded for the incident was that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation.
