Project 10073 Record — Schenectady, New York, February 1967

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting in Schenectady, New York, in February 1967. The witness, a 12-year-old male, reported observing an object for three minutes at 9:10 P.M. The witness described the object as having a dome at the top, a round light in the front, and a square-shaped body. The lights were reported to be flashing and pulsating, changing from reddish-orange to green. The witness stated that the object hovered, swooped down behind trees, and then zoomed away toward the northeast. The witness also provided a personal letter to the Project Blue Book Information Office, expressing fear and frustration regarding the lack of action taken by the government, referencing the death of Thomas Mantell as a cautionary example. The official Air Force conclusion for the incident was that there was insufficient data for evaluation, noting that without an exact date or detailed flight characteristics, a positive identification could not be made. A draft reply from the Air Force to the witness, dated May 31, 1967, confirms that the report was filed for information purposes only and reiterates the Air Force's position that there is no tangible evidence of extraterrestrial vehicles.
