Project 10073 Record: UFO Sighting, Stoughton, Wisconsin, 16 February 1967

On the evening of February 16, 1967, 17-year-old Lynn Marsh was driving home to Stoughton, Wisconsin, after attending a 4-H club meeting. While driving on County Trunk B, her car radio began to buzz inexplicably. She then observed a bright, white light, approximately the size of a car, hovering about 50 feet above the ground. The object, which she described as having no definite shape other than a bright light, paced her vehicle as she drove. She reported that the object followed her, moved behind her car, and appeared to the left side before she reached her residence. Upon arriving home, she observed the object hovering near a farm house about 1.25 miles away. The witness was highly distressed by the encounter. She later reported the incident to her teachers and subsequently to an officer at Truax Air Force Base. The report was forwarded to the UFO Investigation Center in Denver. The Air Force conducted an investigation, documenting the sighting in a formal report under Project 10073. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) reviewed the case but concluded that the information provided was insufficient for a scientific evaluation. The witness maintained that the object was not an airplane and expressed significant lingering anxiety regarding the event.
