Project Blue Book Record — North Andover, Massachusetts, 19 February 1967

This document contains a Project Blue Book sighting report filed by a civilian witness regarding an event on 19 February 1967 in North Andover, Massachusetts. The witness, a young girl, reported observing a star-like object in the northeastern sky for approximately 20 minutes between 7:00 PM and 7:20 PM. She described the object as being dimmer than the dimmest star, appearing to stand still while flashing or flickering with red and white light. She observed the object both with the naked eye and through a 50-power telescope. The witness noted that the object appeared to move downward and eventually set behind a cloud, comparing its disappearance to that of a rocket. She was accompanied by her uncle during the observation. The official conclusion reached by the investigating agency was that the sighting was consistent with an astronomical observation, and that the perceived movement and setting of the object were likely caused by cloud cover. The document includes the original report form, handwritten correspondence from the witness detailing the circumstances of the observation, and sketches illustrating the object's position relative to the horizon.
