Project 10073 Record: UFO Sighting, Pennsylvania Area, 26 February 1967

This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by a 12-year-old witness in Pennsylvania on February 26, 1967. The witness, while riding in a car, observed a light in the sky for approximately 20 minutes. The witness described the object as appearing like a car in the distance, changing colors from yellow and orange to red and green. The witness explicitly noted that the object was not an airplane, as a plane passed by during the observation and looked different. The report was submitted to the 911th Troop Carrier Group at Willow Grove Air Reserve Facility, which subsequently forwarded the information to the Foreign Technical Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in accordance with AFR 80-17. The Air Force conducted inquiries with the Navy Flight Tower and the Boeing Flight Test Section at Philadelphia International Airport, both of which yielded negative results. The official conclusion recorded on the document identifies the object as the planet Venus, noting an elevation of 7 degrees and an azimuth of 266 degrees at the time of the sighting.
