Project 10073 Record: UFO Observation, 20 Feb 67, Oxford, Wisconsin

This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by a long-distance truck driver regarding an event on February 20, 1967, near Oxford, Wisconsin. The witness, an Air Force veteran with experience in map reading and control tower operations, reported observing an oval-shaped, orange-red object approximately 75 feet in size. The object, which featured a bright red light on top and an orange exhaust, was observed for two minutes as it flew parallel to the witness's truck, moving from west to east before descending and disappearing behind trees. The witness reported the incident to Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin, approximately one hour after the sighting. The Air Force conducted an initial assessment, noting the weather conditions as cloudy and confirming that there was no radar record of the object at the Truax Field control tower. The Foreign Technology Division subsequently issued a letter to the witness on February 27, 1967, stating that the provided information was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requesting the completion of a formal FTD Form 164. The witness completed the questionnaire on March 4, 1967, providing additional details, including a sketch of the object and noting that he had heard from a waitress at a truck stop in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, that other sightings had occurred in the area during similar times of year and under very cold conditions.
