Project 10073 Record — Redkey, Indiana, 14 February 1967

This document contains a Project 10073 record regarding a UFO sighting reported on February 14, 1967, in Redkey, Indiana. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a star-like object for approximately 10 minutes. The object was described as a bright light that traveled across the sky and disappeared in the southwest. The witness explicitly noted that there was no sound associated with the object. In the questionnaire, the witness compared the appearance of the object to the 'ECHO balloon' that had been in the sky years prior, though noted it appeared to be moving at a much faster rate of speed. The witness also expressed a personal opinion that the object was not a UFO, but rather related to a satellite series, suggesting that a satellite had burned up in the atmosphere the following day. The Air Force's official conclusion for the incident was 'Aircraft(possible)', noting that the description was consistent with an aircraft, though a satellite could also account for the sighting under different flight path conditions. The file includes correspondence from Colonel James C. Manatt of the Foreign Technology Division, requesting that the witness complete a formal FTD Form 164 for further scientific evaluation, as the initial information provided was deemed insufficient.
